Price and Quality is Unmatched

The quality of the instrument for the price is amazing. Absolutely incredible for a beginner. Or for some like me who plays strats and semi hollow bodies, this is a great change of feel and tone. Delivered ready to play. Change the strings and you're ready to go.

Great lp style guitar for the price.

I purchased this guitar because of the great price, and I am glad I did. It looks better in person than on the internet, and plays really well. All I had to do was put new strings on it. The setup was pretty good.

Jackson builds good stuff

This is an excellent guitar for the price paid. The fit and finish are excellent. The only downside are the pickups which simply don't have a "crisp" sound.

Jackson does it again.

Great value, great player. Light but not neck heavy, top looks great. Neck is amazing,even at this price. Jackson has a real sleeper here.Pickups are ceramic and they're HOT. Not the best quality, but decent enough to leave in for awhile until I upgrade to alnico 5 PAF style. I love the simple controls too.The tuners could be better, but again, a pretty simple upgrade. This guitar is fun to play and sounds great.Comes with 9's on it,I prefer 10's but now I'm nitpicking here,it played great right out of the box.

Great Learning Guitar!

Had one for 2 or so weeks and never owned a new guitar when attempting to play but you can tell the difference in this being a Name Brand Guitar vs the other guitars I have been handed which where off brand guitars in everyway it is improved. Would recommend this Product to a beginner. -Guitar Noob

Impressive beginner guitar

Bought this for my 16 year old son. He plays the violin and wanted to learn the guitar. He absolutely loves it.

A very good starter guitar

I was looking for a cheap, but not to cheap, guitar to start to learn on. I personally know nothing about guitars but a good friend of mine recommended Jackson and the price was right. I had him check it out when it arrived and he was impressed for the price, citing a good solid wood construction and decent beginner pick ups. My only gripe is that it's heavy on the distortion. (Apparently also a Jackson trait for which I was unaware). It's not a deal breaker though as I can manage it by taking off the volume a little. Still, I'm enjoying the experience and would recommend it for beginners like myself.

A bit dissappointed

The guitar looks pretty, is nice and dark, but all the joy stops there. After playing it for about 5 minutes there was a lot wrong with it. My fingers ended up all black, because something was coming out the fretboard. Lots of fret buzz, pointy frets, mics are terrible. I've had jackson before, and this one is nowhere near of what i had. Sad Neck feels good though, like all jacksons, but i strongly believe this guitar needs a really nice setup, and probably adjustments like pickup, nut, strings change to make it decent.

After decades of crafting legendary instruments, Jackson presents the stylish and versatile JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 Electric Guitar. This high-quality guitar is a fusion of classic single cutaway style and Jackson's renowned design and construction expertise, resulting in a reliable and durable instrument that can handle any musical style you throw at it.

This guitar is particularly suited to modern metal, but its dynamic range allows it to easily keep up with crystal-clear clean tones or thick, heavily saturated distortion. The Monarkh SC JS22 is as creative and unique as your playing, making it the perfect partner for your musical journey.

The JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 features a slightly shorter 24.75" scale length compared to most six-string guitars, providing a comfortable and accessible playing experience. The guitar's body is crafted from sturdy nato wood, while the bolt-on maple speed neck boasts graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint for added strength and stability.

Designed with the versatile musician in mind, the 12"-16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard transitions from a curved profile near the nut for easy chord playing to a flatter profile for effortless lead playing and bend techniques. The Jackson compensated and adjustable bridge aligns perfectly with the fingerboard's radius for accurate string action and spacing, while the anchored tailpiece ensures consistent tuning stability across the entire neck.

The Monarkh SC JS22 is equipped with two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck positions, delivering clear and powerful tone with the girth required for contemporary styles. The three-way toggle switch, along with single volume and tone controls, offer a wide range of sound options that can adapt to any playing situation and cut through even the thickest mix to highlight your performance.

Available in an eye-catching Red Stain or a classic Tobacco Burst finish with sleek black hardware, the JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 Electric Guitar is not just a powerful musical tool, but a gorgeous addition to any guitar collection. When you plug in a Jackson, you're not just plugging in a guitar - you're plugging into a legacy of musical innovation and fiery performances.
