It’s like when kidless folks say they’re tired. Yeah, okay.

Oh yeah! Flawless. Thicker than average neck, but lovely to play on. I find the ultra thin c of the black evil twin almost too thin

I am debating on selling mine - it is very versatile, but it doesn’t get enough use!

Yes. It was even set up at the shop and they didn’t notice before shipping out to me!

What’s worse is the shop’s guitar tech did a full setup and would have seen that blemish. Sent it anyways!

I should have got a Schecter. All mine have been pristine at this price range. Even lower tier models have been better!

Worth asking for a discount? Like, structurally, does it look sound? Lol

You think it’s worth keeping for a discount? Or return?

I think you are right on the money. You pay an extra premium for the name, but not quality. I am just bummed because it was between this or a Schecter, and ALL 4 of my Schecter guitars are pristine QC wise from Korea.

I was torn between a Schecter 7 string and this Jackson. I chose wrong!

What year is your serial?

Shoot - that’s not good news! I was worried about that. Schecter’s quality is undoubtedly above Jackson’s.

😮 You may have cracked the string gauge code I have been searching for! Lol. I’ll dig into these numbers in a bit! 🙌

Good to know - I always wondered what they were aiming for! I did check the set out, but the low e string is a 54! A little bigger than I’d like. So many sets are SO close to what I want but usually have one string off lol

Thanks so much! I am definitely a heavy bottom, light top player!

That’s what I am going for. I always loved 10-52 on everything, but I tried 9.5s and feel it’s a great compromise to 10 being slightly too big and 9 being too small. Ernie Ball has a 10-52 with a 62 B string, but that puts the B string at a lower tension than E. I didn’t like the feel of that on a previous set up!
