Jackson King V JS22 HT 7-string Electric Guitar - Satin Black

My js22-7 king v arrived from ado rama seemingly safely packed in a very nice double box. I was concerned because the 'points' on guitars like these always seem to be located right at the corners of the boxes. This causes a likelihood of a damaged point or 2 in shipping. The guitar arrived in perfect shape. Guitar itself: The guitar is very excellent and a very inexpensive bargain. The design is very plain and simple like most of the best designed products. But attention has been paid to small details that make this guitar great, such as the very cool bevels on the sides if the wings and the super cool flat black paint finish that can be perfectly touched up with 'woodstove black' paste. Seemingly a cheap low end guitar for novices, this is in fact a very excellent 'v' style bolt on 7-string available at a super ultra mega affordable price. Players will be happy that this 7-string is affordable - in a world of ornate and very expensive other 7-string options. All of the hardware is very good in its stock form. I have modified nothing. But all of the simple hardware can be replaced with available high end guitar hardware parts if desired. My guitar plays well and the stock tuners are of decent quality and they all work well, even if they are geared at a high ratio. I prefer 18:1 ratio tuners ftom gotoh, grover, schaller, or other recognized high quality tuner companies. Tuners make a big difference and beware of impostors and wanna bees. Purchasing high quality tuners or keeping the stock ones might be better ideas. Note that the stock jackson branded tuners on my guitar are very decent and they remain on the guitar. This is a big guitar and it is very long. However, much to my enjoyment, this guitar is very 'light weight'. This is a very light weight guitar - the opposite of what you might guess. Big but light. This guitar is sporty and easy to handle, lift, stand up against things, etc. The 'v' shape is found by some players to be ultra mega ergonomic - easy to hold, handle, and play by a human. They might be made by computers and production robots but they are made to be played by people and these guitars feel real good in the hands. These are reputedly without neck dive.

Can’t post ten stars so five will have to do. Came early. In almost brand new shape. (Was ordered used, but if it is used, then the previous owner didn’t play it much) it’s a Jackson king v. Not much else one could add to that. Everyone should already know Jackson doesn’t play around when it comes to their guitar builds. And this one is no exception!! Plays great, action a little high, but I’m about to fix that right now. Pickups are fairly decent. Have great tone, could use a little more power tho, but these will work for now. It’s an awesome guitar. I was worried about packaging. Cuz we all know the points on vs can snap off easily. But this was packaged with about three rain forests worth of cardboard! So no scratches or broken tips. Again, if there was a ten star button, this would get it. Thanks y’all, now I’m going to go play so when I grow up I can be a guitargod …. (

Good buy

Good guitar. Would give five stars but there was Tons of feedback out of the box. Going to have to warranty it already.

Awesome quality guitar ,easy to play,with the jumbo frets,stays in tune ,craftsmanship was awesome the guitar was smooth ,no sharp fret edges ,an the price is budget friendly,

This guitar is out standing. Don’t let the price scare you off, if anything Jackson under priced this guitar. Out of the box this 7 string beast was set up from factory. Some players may need to adjust the action to personal preference. The Jackson pick ups have a nice tone and control nobs are smooth. The neck is slim and sharp. Perfect shape for speed pickers and shredders. The higher notes are easy to hit and reach with the V design. The head stock has a nice angle on it. The tuners are very nice. I haven’t experienced any string slipping or issues staying in tune. I’ve played many guitars since I was 15 and this guitar is one of my favorite. The 7 string really opens the door for metal players. Nice job Jackson.

Llego toda mojada la caja. Y la guitarra toda desajustada. Trasteando por todos lados. Me va a costar más caro la ajustada qué lo que costo

Might need to adjust the truss rod. Seems me neck may be a bit bowed. Nice guitar tho, watch where you are going cause it dents easily. Nice guitar overall though.
