A hard rocker that's easy on the pocket.

The 2008 Jackson JS30 Electric Guitar has a Dinky-style alder body, maple neck with reversed headstock, and rosewood fretboard nicely equipped with jumbo frets. A JT500 double-locking trem, 2 Jackson CVR pickups, and chrome hardware round out the Jackson JS30 guitar. Jackson includes volume, tone, and a 3-way switch to giver the JS30 electric guitar simple sound management. Jackson's compound-radius fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out. With a more relaxed hand, you'll play better!

I have had this guitar for about a year now, and I love it. I can hardly even play on anything else now! It knocks my friends LP's and Strats out of the water in every way. I have recently moded it by droping in a SD SH-8 Invader pickup and it sounds amazing! A definite recomended buy!

I have had this guitar for about 3 months now and I can honestly say it is one of the best guitars I have ever used! I play in a metal band and have this guitar tuned in Drop A# and it holds the tuning like no other! The floyd rose is amazing and easy to use. The pickups deliver what you would expect from a Jackson...Pure Brutallity!! They sound great with distortion and even on a clean chanel. Overall I am totally impressed with the work Jackson put into making these guiatrs. You won't be dissapointed in this amazing product from Jackson.

This guitar is definitely one of my favorites of my small collection and I have not even had if for a month. I recently purchased it. In the music store I compared it to many guitars in this price range. It blew them all away.

First of all, I got it in the trans black, and it looks beautiful. The pickups do an excellent job and gives it a good metal crunch under distortion, even though I just used the overdrive channel on a Marshall MG50DFX. I usually use a electronics set up with knobs controlling certain pickups, like one on a Les Paul, but I can certainly adjust to this. The Jackson Licensed Floyd Rose works out well and it stays in tune well, though it is a pain in the butt to re-string. I couldn't be happier with this guitar, though.

I played this guitar in the shop a couple times. I really love the action on it, the neck is thin and fast. Bends ring pretty well, and the trem is pretty stable. I used it pretty well for an hour or so, and I thought it felt and sounded great... More likely than not my next purchase!
