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.

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.

With its sleek single cutaway silhouette, the JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 Electric Guitar combines Jackson's renowned design prowess and robust construction to deliver a high-performance instrument. This guitar is a stylish powerhouse, perfect for players who demand versatility and durability without compromising on quality. The Satin Black finish exudes a modern charm that complements its innovative features, making it a standout choice for guitarists looking to make a visual and sonic statement.

Crafted for the modern musician, the JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 is engineered to excel in a variety of genres, from pristine clean tones to aggressive, saturated distortion. Its high-quality nato body and sturdy bolt-on maple speed neck, reinforced with graphite and featuring a scarf joint, provide a stable and resonant foundation for your playing. The slightly shorter 24.75" scale length caters to those who prefer a more compact feel without losing the essence of a full-size guitar.

The amaranth fingerboard with a 12"-16" compound radius is a testament to Jackson's innovative spirit, offering a comfortable playing experience that transitions smoothly from easy chording near the nut to effortless lead playing and bending at the higher frets. This design minimizes the likelihood of fretting out, ensuring your solos are executed with precision.

Equipped with two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups, positioned at the bridge and neck, the SC JS22 delivers clear, powerful tones with the girth needed to stand out in contemporary music styles. The three-way toggle switch, along with dedicated volume and tone controls, provides a versatile sound palette that can adapt to any playing situation and cut through dense mixes.

The Jackson compensated and adjustable TOM-style bridge, paired with an anchored tailpiece, ensures accurate string action and spacing, enhancing playability and maintaining intonation across the entire neck. This feature, along with the guitar's robust construction, makes it a durable choice for players who require reliable performance night after night.

As a part of Jackson's legacy, the JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 is more than just an instrument; it's a piece of history. For over three decades, Jackson guitars have been at the forefront of musical innovation, and this model continues that tradition. With its striking aesthetic and black hardware, the SC JS22 is not only a powerful instrument but also a beautiful addition to any guitarist's collection, ready to fuel your musical journey with its versatile and high-quality design.
