Should I?

Jackson Professional Flying-V, black, local pawn shop, $139.
Should I? I'm not real sure what they cost new, but it seems like it would be a good second guitar, as a backup or an alternately tuned... good deal, or no?

Why not?

If it doesn't play well you could always make a really neat-looking cocktail table out of it.

The Jackson professionals are the korean(?) made ones. i have one its string threw body.$139 is a good price depending on the condition. plug it in to check out the electronics( bring a small amp) if everything is in good condition -thats a really good price. i think new they go for $300.

$300 huh? Back in the day Jacksons were $2000 new, that sucks. I thought I might get a REALLY good deal. I might buy it, cant be too bad for the price.

Gidge, my buddy......

What's with you and this damned Yamastrat?

Someone says "cheap strat", you say Pacifica.
Someone said Kramer, you said Pacifica.
Tube thought he found a Mustaine V hangin' on the wall at DePrez.
What do you say?

Pacifica!


I'm gonna buy one right now. Do they come in EVH stripes?

 

[getuhgrip]

Do they make a Les Paulica?

Hey man, I'd pick Yamaha over fender any day. Mine plays so tight it's amazing for what I spent on it.

I consider myself to be an afficianado of cheap guitars. I own an 87 Squire Strat and an Ibanez 170. Both are very cheap and both play very, very well. I got the Ibanez for $130 and it's the best guitar I've ever owned (after you replace the pickups). And I'm not a complete retard about guitars. I've been playing for 14 years. $140 sounds like a steal to me for a Jackson even though I hate their necks. If you play the thing and you like the neck, buy it. If the pickups suck more than my ex-wife just replace them.
