Jackson's entry-level JS Series suits the needs of beginning players, and offers the best in materials, workmanship and value. The Jackson JS30KE Kelly Electric Guitar has an Indian alder body, bolt-on maple neck with Indian rosewood fingerboard, Jackson CVR2 high-output humbucking pickups, adjustable string-through-body bridge and chrome hardware. Includes a Jackson gig bag.

The distinct Kelly body has a cool vibe and allows complete access to the 24-fret neck. The Jackson compound-radius fingerboard has more curves more at the nut for easy chording and flattens out towards the body for shredding lead work. The JS30KE has features and playability that belie its price.

Good Metal/Rock Guitar for beginners

Pretty impressive guitar for the price. I recommend this guitar for anyone interested in playing metal or rock. Guitar handles distortion alot better than clean tones; does produce a little bit of feedback but that might just be my amp, try a distortion pedal or amps with good distortion settings. I recommend changing the strings because the ones it comes with aren't that great. Low action on strings. In general a good rock guitar for beginners and at an affordable price.

Very good for the money, plays fast and easy, killer looks. If you have it set up well and upgrade the pickups you'll have a very nice guitar without the big investment. It is a nice guitar as is though, perfect for the novice, or intermediate player, that wants a metal guitar with killer looks and a very reasonable price tag.
