This is a monster guitar from the 80's that you just cant find much anymore! I am using it for mostly heavy metal and some light rock, playing through a Marshall MG100 Half Stack and a Metal Zone Distortion Pedal from BOSS. It has amazingly deep rich tones and bright highs and pinch harmonics are a breeze

I have been playing for 23 years and this is a nice addition to my stable. I also own Gibson les pauls and a Jackson King V and this does well against them!

Made around 1987 in Korea. Bought for $600US brand new. Exact copy of the Jackson Sharkfin Rhodes played. It has two humbuckers, Floyd Rose tremolo, ultra fast neck thru body with a unusually skinny neck, one 3-way pickup switch, tone and volume knob. Baby blue finish with black pickguard and a rosewood fretboard. First and best guitar I ever bought in 25 years of playing.

It has an awesome sound to it. High output, great sustain and unbeliveable harmonics. Very clean sounding guitar when playing acoustic, and killer sounds when playing thrashing tunes. Nothing to dislike.

Action is fast, the way I like it. Came from the factory in perfect condition. No flaws at all.

I would definantly recommend this as a live guitar. It is 100% reliable and I would trust it in any gig. Only problem I've had with it in the 14 years I've had it is a bent stop bar on the tremolo about a year ago. Had it fixed, and it's still rocking.

Never needed to deal with them. Probably don't have any since their products are so great!

I've been playing for about 25 years. I've got a fender acoustic, and a strat. If I lost or got my JB Player stolen, I would most definantly buy a new one, if I could find one. They are rare to come by.
