It needed the fretboard conditioned and strings.
This is my 1st Jackson and I'm REALLY impressed. So much so that I've ordered another a Pro KV. The KV got here yesterday.
The finish on this is awesome and really kinda different than what I would expect a satin finish to be if I had ordered this sight unseen. But the finish is what kept drawing me back to it. For lack of a better description it reminds of a skateboard finish from the 70s, maybe Kona? Which to me made it even cooler.
