For my next guitar I am looking for a USA superstrat. So is the virtuoso worth it? Other alternatives for me would be kiesel jb24 and a used mm jp6. Or maybe a flame maple trans DK1 which is 200$ more than the virtuoso. How do the virtuoso compare to the others?

I never tried the new USA Jacksons, but for a 200$ difference I would clearly go for the DK1 -
Prior to the debut of the American Series SL3, I don't believe I had seen a single USA Jackson in a local store since the 2000s. I recall seeing a USA Select Series KV2T in the mid-2000s and that was the last one I saw in the wild.
When the American Series SL3 debuted, I saw numerous examples in different local stores. I took this as a sign that FMIC was going to really push the American Series guitars. Finally, USA Jacksons available to see in local stores again!
When the American Series Virtuoso debuted, I looked forward to seeing them in stores, but still have yet to come across any, at least in my city. So now I am not sure about FMIC's intentions. I still see plenty of SL3s though!Comment

I'd go with a KieselComment

I'd rather just find a used DK1. Not a fan of the streaked ebony fingerboards they are stuck to using now. I don't know about anyone else but when I buy ebony, I expect black and only black.Comment

Same here. Ebony is supposed to be all black. But they always have to cheapen out on something. Them beancounters can't help themselves.Originally posted by vexille View PostComment
