Swift, deadly and affordable, Jackson® JS Series guitars take an epic leap forward, making it easier than ever to get classic Jackson tone, looks and playability without breaking the bank.

The JS Series Rhoads Ziricote JS42 features an offset angular mahogany body with zirocte top and a bolt-on caramelized maple speed neck with graphite-reinforcement rods for added stability against warping and scarf joint for reduced playing fatigue. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and black sharkfin inlays, the 12"-16" compound radius bound caramelized fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out.

Other features include dual Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets for volcanic tone, three-way pickup toggle switch, single volume and tone controls and a Jackson-branded Floyd Rose® double-locking tremolo bridge system for dynamic response and reliable tuning stability.

This sleek, angular axe is available in a new Natural finish with gold pickguard, black pointy headstock and gold hardware.

I own 3 jackson guitars of this style , but not this model. All 3 have come to me flawless in execution (not flawless by the dealer, who was not L and M, but is well known with a big C, and would never buy from them again). Hard to imagine this poor a review for a Jackson product, though I suppose it is possible.

Fun guitar to play. Bright snappy tone with maple on maple neck. I upgraded mine with dimarzio pickups, the stock pickups are thin sounding. At this price its not really a valid complaint. I've bought guitars at more than twice the price that havnt played or sounded half as good.

Honestly, this guitar looks amazing and also plays very nicely but there are a few things that stand out immediately after picking up the guitar that I was really dissapointed by. Pros:Looks cool! n2. Great action! n3. Good price point! n4. Floating bridge. n5. Good tone and pickups. n6 stays in tune Cons n7.lightweight. n1. The fit and finish just isn't there. The finish on the guitar is almost non existent and it feel like the guitar is going to crumble away when you pick it up.n2. Although the back of the neck is nice, the fretboard feels like you're going to get a sliver from the popsicle stick-like texture. You can hear the strings scratching against the material which feels like it's scraping off when you do vibratos.n3. The metal hardware feels cheap and the floating bridge feels very very brittle. n4. There were wood shavings under the floating bridge after an hour of playing. n5. Poor value for a guitar that is intended to be budget friendly. n6. The low E kept coming off of the fretboard during play with very little effort n7. There were a lot of dead frets after the 22nd fret and the higher frets were almost inaccesible due to the shape of the body n8. Tooling issues under the bridge with chunks missing out of the side of the inner body with no finish.All in all the review I have submitted is honest and I was really dissapointed because I was excited to get my hands on this thing. I ended up returning it immediately as I saw a list of issues that would have occurred. If you have the money I would strongly suggest another guitar for this price point.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
