The new JS line might easily mark the dawn of a new age of affordable and beginner electric guitars, as it brings features and appointments far ahead its price class.
At this year`s NAMM, Jackson has unveiled over forty electric guitars, with eleven models belonging to the raging JS series. Eight Dinky, one King V and two Warrior models fill its ranks. The gloves are off, eyes turn red, and Jackson moves in for the kill with some of the most impressive specs and features ever seen in the beginner range. High Output humbuckers, common to all 2015 JS axes, are loaded with ceramic magnets for that big, fat, unmistakable Jackson tone. A selection of high quality hardware takes the stability and tuning control to a pretty serious level, while the quality of construction exemplified throughout the roster redefines the beginner guitar. Among the premium features, 2015 JS lineup also boasts super-fast maple necks with graphite reinforcements, flamed and quilted maple tops, shark fin and piranha inlays, double-locking Jackson bridges, compound 12”-16” radius fingerboards and zebra-coiled pickups. To top it all off, Jackson has also included one seven and one eight-string into the lineup.
