I bought one used from Guitar Center about 3 years ago. It's a matte black, which I hated at first. But I love this guitar now. For under $200 used and made in China, it's pretty impressive. Feels great, plays great. Love it.
These are some of the best gear reviews I've seen - and certainly among the most honest of guitars at these price points. I am deeply skeptical of many of these sponsored videos - they're really just advertising for the product in question. Not so for this channel - a class act all the way.
Pretty guitar. Nice pie cabinet behind you , I used to make those. LOL I love low priced guitars. I don't like to call any guitar cheap. I bought a really clean Peavey Raptor I (Korea) for $50 and they sell for $300 in the shape mine is in. On my channel my son , (Wes checks out , Harley Benton DC-200 CH and Jackson Monarkh SC JS22) Mine is the flat black 199 dollar version which is pretty much the same guitar , other than the finish. Beware the mic in the phone we recorded the video gets a bit overloaded. The body on mine appears to be a dark wood like Mahogany viewed inside the electronics cavity. It's heavy 8.5lbs on my luggage scale. Balances at , right around the bridge pickup so not a lot of neck dive. It's about 41" long so when you look for a case. I believe the guitar is worthy of a hard case. I do find the tuners aren't fine enough to use with a Fishman Tripleplay but , that's a device for masochists.
@@AJgeartalk ok. It is like the rest of jackson line, designed for metal primarily. The clean tones are bright due to the hotter design. What will you due with it?
Thanks for your comments on this Monarch

Well thanks for actually describing the characteristics of the guitar and not just playing it and calling it a review.

Jackson's stock pickups are excellent! I've never had any desire to change them in any of the Jacksons I've owned.
Yeah kind of agree. Both Jackson and Ibanez does fine low priced gear. Only difference is Jackson pups are better and has some bite. Same priceclass.
I'd absolutely love to see a double cut version of these guitars.
I would love to try one of these JS series Monarchs
They are really nice budget guitars.
This was very helpful!! Thanks! Made up my mind.

JS is the series and 22 is the number of frets
The Jackson monarkh js22 don't do nothing to it everything is perfect .
Im using 0.46 - 0.09 gauge... then u go metal / rock / rythm every style of music are suit with this js22..... i hv 1 white color...
Not many production guitars have 21mm nut width. This one and Yamaha Pacifica.
I wanted to hear what the pickup sounded like
Here's a demo ua-cam.com/video/RNuHWrgZ2Io/v-deo.html

@@2bikemikesguitartopics145 I play mostly classic rock.
@@AJgeartalk
Yup, that's the best
What is the nut width on this guitar? 1 5/8 or 1 11/16? I heard it is a little narrow so I thought I would inquire.
I no longer have this guitar.
How the weight on it? Heavy, light. Any neck dive?
Roughly 7 lbs. Haven't had any issues with "neck dive".
What about tuning stability, any problems with G?
None that I experienced.
Justo como me gusta , mucho blabla y poco escuchar la guitarra...
