  • Low end excitement from Jackson

    The new JS32 looks a lot like the MIJ DK2, some of these look killer. Arch tops, binding, black hardware, zebra p'ups (if that's what you're into)........

    Looks like the DK2M with the rosewood board has been re-designated as a DK2, makes sense.

    So many DK2 style necks, but BETTER! Now with graphite reinforcements. It they play well, I see a nice score for the mutt market.

      I really dig the color on that green 8-string, I hope they start offering that on other models than just that 8.

          I can dig on one of them Rhoads for sure. But build quality is yet to be determined.

            Ummm, it's been determined for a long time, this isn't coming from a new factory, it's still the same JS series, just different parts, and BASSWOOD!

              They look like good mutt fodder to me. Throw a better trem, pickups and a fret dress and it may be a good guitar. I'd like to see one up close.

                I'm certainly digging that JS32Q Dinky in trans black. And the volume knob is placed a reasonable distance from the pickup, too...
                Sch-Weeeeeeet!

                Hopefully these things play reasonably well.

                  Alder please.
                  I want to go out nice and peaceful in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and hollering like the passengers in his car.

                    JS32Q amber sunburst looks good.

                      Could those be the first ever JS series arch tops?
                      96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

                        I believe so....................

                        I'm loving the bright blue 32 & the white King V with the trem, I reckon I'm gonna have to buy buy buy. How long do you guys think these will take to become available?

                            True my bad forgot the JS series wasn't made in Japan. And Im not a fan of basswood at all, I was hoping they'd make them Alder. But I guess that would prob remove the $300 or $350 price tag though which is what they are marketed for.

                              Basswood is 1000000000x better than Cedro though, so a nice upgrade for the bottom of the barrel Jacksons. Upgrading the JS series as such is gonna help boost the Jackson name, as most stores only have budget Jacksons, peoples opinions will improve.
