Jackson KVXMG King V Satin Black

I love this guitar, but the Floyd Rose Special sucks — it can’t hold tuning properly and feels like it’s made of weak material. The wood cutting around the input jack wasn’t cleaned/finished well; there’s even a wood strip hanging inside from when the hole was carved. The input jack itself isn’t great either — it keeps unscrewing, so I’ll probably have to replace it with a Stratocaster-style one.

Other than that, I don’t have much to complain about. I’ve had it for 2 months now, and I love playing it even more than my 90s Jackson Kelly. Still, for this price, it deserved more attention in build quality, finishing, and QC, because this is not a €200/$200 guitar. It’s made in Indonesia, but I really wish it had more of that “Made in USA/Japan” feel like many other Jacksons.

On the bright side, it’s lightweight, very comfortable whether standing or sitting, and ergonomically shaped so it rests nicely on your right leg — though using a strap always helps with proper positioning.
