help identify this jackson!
« on: December 22, 2012, 10:27:42 AM »
seen this little number on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330845764519?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

im really tempted to get a floyd rose equipped guitar for noodling around and at £100 quid that seems very reasonable. By the looks of the controls it might have been modified slightly?

warning: nothing worse than a cheap Floyd

(not to say this one is cheap, but be careful)

If you want a guitar with a floyd rose try looking at the Bc Rich Gunslinger Retro's. I had one and even though it wasn't an original floyd rose, it stayed in tune perfectly. Not too much money either

+1

could be wrong, but that looks a bit like the (beginner) js series.

I know very little about Jacksons, but that definitely looks like a cheap Floyd.

Still, for 100 quid....

it was indeed a js something or other. anyway, decided against it in the end, as you say, is it worth spending now and again later when i need one that actually works as intended  8)
