Jacksons most inexpensive guitars are still legitimate good quality guitars, most other bigger guitar companies call their more affordable instruments a different name, Jacksons are all Jacksons, I have several at any given time from all their price tiers. I just scored a Warrior JS32T , just like yours in the video for a crazy cheap price, cant wait til it arrives, never had a Warrior yet... Great Video!
Jimmy, nice to hear a review from somebody that knows what their talking about .Thanks for doing this model. When I order a chicken fried steak I couldn't care less what cooks it and I don't care who assembled this thing if the Fender company offers an acceptable design and materials. I don't expect a $300 guitar match $1000+. Now I think I'll get me one of those hummers.
Thanks for checking out the video! Just wanted to give a background of Jackson as a brand besides of the cheaper models they offer like this one! Glad I was able to help! Thanks again!
These seem like a really awesome mod platform. They’re cheap enough to mess around with and with the right knowledge you could make it whatever you want and play amazing
Yes! I was very surprised for the price range that the quality of it is pretty solid. Curious myself and went for the buy. Thank you for checking out the video!
I got a JS 32 last week. The only problem so far has been the wiring. Glad you mentioned that. Bridge position sounded really thin and cut out completely. I had a new pickup selector switch installed and a wire fixed. It sounds fine now. It had a great feel to it and sounds good thru my Marshall.
I used 400 on metal frets ends and 800/ 1200 sandpaper on my Warrior fretboard. Then restained with Howards Mahogany restore. Reoiled tuners. Copper insulated behind humbuckers. Installing zero nut soon and tone pots and split Bridge HB, neck HB is good but not splitable. Good review!
Great review and cool licks! I have a JS32 Dinky in natural wood tone with Floyd Rose bridge to be delivered on Monday! I am just a play along type player and this will be the most expensive guitar I have ever touched. I can't wait!
I am not really a fan of the Warrior shape but do have the Randy Rhodes JS32 and it is a solid guitar for the money! Same wood, finish and string through body as the Warrior you reviewed here but with gold hardware. Would recommend these guitars in a heart beat! Keep rockin' and great playing...
Finally got one and love it. My only issue is the pickups. Plugged it up and horrible feedback. So bad i immediately took it to my setup guy, and we def agreed it needs new ones.
Good review. Jackson JS32 are solid guitars for the price IMO. I had J32 Warriors and sold them, regretted it. I went looking for a Rhoads but didn't want a FR or hardtail... Found a new Jackson X Series CDX22 Rhoads Concorde in Snow White, made in Indonesia, has a neck thru, painted neck, Fender style strat trem bridge and locking tuners, fantastic guitar, bound fretboard, fit and finish is great,, minor setup and intonation adjustments and it was ready to play. Thinking about replacing the pickups and adding a coil split as I like having the clarity of single coils, but for humbuckers the stock pickups aren't bad. Also have a new Jackson JS32T Rhoads inbound, the JS32 series are really solid guitars for the money, even if you upgrade electronics / hardware you've got a good guitar for not a lot of money IMO.
Never heard of that one CDX22, with a Strat style bridge to boot, sounds cool, I have seen the Concorde shaped one with block inlays I believe but I always though that was some custom shop model or something, I wonder if thats what you have? Available in USA?
Great video. Thank you. How this guitar balance on the strap when you play stending? Is it top heavy, did the nack dive down? I never played Jackson guitars before, are they fast skiny similar to Ibanez wizard nacks?
So since the body is light it does have some neck dive while standing. But it won't be much of a problem when your picking hand/arm is resting on the body while you are playing. And to be honest it's been a long time that I have played an Ibanez that would be considered of having a wizard neck. So I apologize for not having a straight answer. Thank you for checking out the video though! It's very much appreciated!
Just found your channel. Keep it up. I am now getting more interested in unique guitars as well. Funny how tastes change. This one is now on the list of possibilities. Thank you!
I had a jackson Rhoads js32 and hated the fact that I couldn't get the action low enough. I had adjusted the neck and lowered tje bridge as far as I could but never was able to get it right. Hownis the action on that warrior?
I’m on a real tight budget but I need to upgrade from my ESP ec10 because it’s sucks, I’ve been looking into this one but I’m worried about how cheap it is
I believe they were the d'addario strings in 10's and I have the Ernie Ball regular 10 slinky's on it now. Thank you for checking out the video. For the playing I play it usually standard E or half step and sometimes drop d. Nothing too low though.
Im Close to buy one, the only thing that holds me back is that i can't test it cause no store has it in stock and the neck is a big thing for me, so anyone can tell me more about the neck shape??? I don't like the flat and thin Ibanez type necks, so is the Jackson speed neck close to those Ibanez D shape necks?? Or is it more rounded or c shaped?? Greets and thumbs up for the great video!
the problem with swapping out the pots is ........ the labor involved & time ....... then to try it & out Still not like the pickups. ....Id just buy used picups & new pots & do it all at the same time
Dude I've been eyeing this guitar for weeks now, but I've only been playing for like 5 months lol I have a ltd ec10 I dig it for sure. I wanted to ask your opinion on you think it's okay for someone on my level cause I love metal and wanna get to playing metal. Hope you have a good day bro stay up 🤘🤘
Yeah man! I still have it and for $250 it definitely plays nice! I would definitely try to pick one up if possible. Right out of the box the neck was super straight so can't complain about it! Thank you for checking out the video! Trying to make more but everything is not working into place just yet. Keep checking back!
thank you brother for this review! It's awesome!! I've been playing ibanez regular RG series and RGD, LTD JH-600 with that extra thing U neck and charvel so-cal... and here's my question... how would you compare the neck with those guitars? Is it something like'em or maybe different story.... I want a small change and am torn between Solar V's and Jackson RR's (I believe that necks are the same in warrios and RR's).
Thanks for checking out the video! To be honest I wish I could answer that question for you if I had the chance of trying those said guitars to give you a proper answer my friend.
This might be another one of my “impulse buys...” But real question for a sec. How do you feel about Jackson’s quality control? I know some people have been complaining about that.
Well I have the JS32T Randy Rhoads and I will give it 3 of 10 because of the super bad assembly: fast-fast-fast!. Realy bad in risking to ruin the guitar if not taken care of at once but after an total overhaul it is a damd good guitar, in my mind the best new guitar one will get from 300 dollar up to 600 dollar, the neck is exellent, we are talking 1000+ guitars to get such an fine neck.
Do you prefer 25.5 scale length or 24.75 scale length?? I've had my eye on this guitar for quite a while, especially for the easy fret access and because you can play it like a classical guitar.
Thanks for the video! Would this be a good first guitar for someone trying to learn rock/metal (specifically the band X Japan? I have been learning bass for their songs and want to learn guitar too!
I would suggest it! It's a solid guitar out of the box. Again you might need a minor set up but the neck on mine was super straight for being shipped from overseas.
@@aidenmeyerbasschannel I don't see why not. Guitars like this are mainly about looks. But obviously performance is key too, and this guitar has that as well. It just comes down to your own personal preference.
This was nice. I'm getting the JS32 Rhoads and I expect the neck being as in this Warrior. Cheap guitar, so I was just curious that if it's any good or not.
There is some neck dive while standing and that's due to the body being light. But it's not bad as you would think. Thanks for checking out the video! 😎
Say what you want, but the BEST treatment for dry fretboards by FAR is Boiled Linseed Oil.. Yes, I KNOW, the shit STINKS. So what I do is do the treatment outside and leave the guitar to air out for a couple of days in my back room with all the windows open and then the keroseney smell dies away enough to bring it back into the house proper. But it lasts way longer than that fake lemon oil hogwash, thats for sure! try it yourself if you dont believe me, I hope they mioght bring out a de-odourised version in the future!
Quick question: is it confortable to play in the non-classical position? Thinking about buying it but I'm worried about the right arm horn. By the way, nice video, thanks for the review.
Ones from china are better sounding and faster action than the old ones. Hotter pickups. I got the kelly and its so nice sounds better than both of my esp and my 92 strat. I am so impressed.
I've been looking for something like this for some time, but the low price discouraged me (I thought that quality is poor). But after your video I'm considering buying one of this (black one with floyd) and upgrading (bridge, tuners, pickups) in the future. I hope, that after some some modernisation it will be amazing guitar. :D
It really is a good solid guitar out of the box. Yes granted you have to tweak some things. But it's never bad to make something good, better! Thank you for the kind words and for watching the video!
I'm thinking of grabbing one of these for my first shred style guitar!
Thinking the same!

Awesome product review, starts playing at 11:35 love that guitar sound 👍
Thank you for the kind words and for checking out the video! Sorry I'm just responding to you now! 😎

been looking at this axe all of quarantine with the idea of painting it. glad to hear they come in decent shape, so tempting...
Yes! I was very surprised for the price range that the quality of it is pretty solid. Curious myself and went for the buy. Thank you for checking out the video!
Do it
I just bought this guitar as my first Jackson and I love it. Nice review! Also, your playing totally rocks!
Thank you dude! And thank you for checking out the video!
Love this guy. Just ordered this guitar.. should be here Friday.
I got a JS 32 last week. The only problem so far has been the wiring. Glad you mentioned that. Bridge position sounded really thin and cut out completely. I had a new pickup selector switch installed and a wire fixed. It sounds fine now.
It had a great feel to it and sounds good thru my Marshall.
Really want this guitar; it looks super unique and sounds good, this video has probably sold me on it, thanks
I have a bare wood dinky and i really like it. Where you touch it with your skin the oils get on it and its kinda like makes it your own look.
I used 400 on metal frets ends and 800/ 1200 sandpaper on my Warrior fretboard. Then restained with Howards Mahogany restore. Reoiled tuners. Copper insulated behind humbuckers. Installing zero nut soon and tone pots and split Bridge HB, neck HB is good but not splitable.
Good review!
Always good to have different shapes & brands in ur arsenal! 🍻
Great review and cool licks! I have a JS32 Dinky in natural wood tone with Floyd Rose bridge to be delivered on Monday! I am just a play along type player and this will be the most expensive guitar I have ever touched. I can't wait!
What kind of workbench is that? I need one. Thanks.
Thank you man! I purchased the workbench from Lowe's or you could possibly get one from Home Depot as well. Or other hardware stores!
@@jimmyppunk Thanks, Jimmy.
@@Hexspa you're very welcome!
That was a really good video man, I think I'm sold. And you definetly earned a big sub from me
Thank you my friend!
What was the name of the site where he bought it
These are awesome and actually comfortable to play
Just ordered a JS32 warrior all black can't wait to Jam on it , Now I have to buy a Amp 😂 Thanks for the Video brother...
I am not really a fan of the Warrior shape but do have the Randy Rhodes JS32 and it is a solid guitar for the money! Same wood, finish and string through body as the Warrior you reviewed here but with gold hardware. Would recommend these guitars in a heart beat! Keep rockin' and great playing...
Nice guitar, I'm thinking about getting this piece. Please, how comfortable is it compared to the Dinky Js22?
Finally got one and love it. My only issue is the pickups. Plugged it up and horrible feedback. So bad i immediately took it to my setup guy, and we def agreed it needs new ones.
Thats weird, was there something defective or broken with them?
Cheap pickups, i wasn’t surprised.
12:15 song??

I believe it would be. I never tried the Harley Benton but I know this plays great.
my dream guitar, at this moment this model is not available in my country . so sad

Thanks for the review 🤟

Stealth. Bich looks different.
Shame on everybody who watched this video and didn’t applaud that dokken run!!
Thank you so much! George Lynch is amazing!
@@jimmyppunk Dokken got me into metal so George will ALWAYS be an inspirational force in my life
Although now I am ashamed because it took me an hour to realize that the second riff was sad but true 😔

In my opinion it's comfortable because you can use it as an arm rest either standing or sitting down with it to play.
Love the old DOKKEN run!!🎸
Thanks man!
Amazing vid, thought I would skip. Through it like i do with every guitar video. Guitar seems sick doe
You sir have gains a subscriber

Exactly how I feel being impressed about it!
Maybe a video on changing the pots? I may get one based on your video.
Not a bad idea my friend! 😉
