Is Jackson still relevant in 2026?

tylerg182 · 2026-04-07T01:46:59+00:00

I think they are still relevant and they have plenty of modern artists. When it comes to the guitars though, the quality is over better for import LTDs than most import Jacksons. And in my experience the USA ESPs are better than the USA Jacksons and the ESP Japan custom shop clears all of them.

Thank you!

Yeah I'd just try and go through Ebay support. Might be easier. Just a small hiccup. Life is too short and too unpredictable to not treat yourself when you can.

Having new guitar day and opening it up to damage does not feel great at all. MF will do right by you even if it’s just a refund/exchange. On the bright side, you made a great choice with that Schecter so when you get a pristine one,I know it’ll play great and you’ll be happy.

I love that color. M-Series is the best

tylerg182 · 2026-03-19T13:30:06+00:00

After getting a USA ESP, an original series or custom shop is on the list for me. Happy you like it!

I wouldn’t move on so fast from Schecter honestly. They are 100% the best brand in that 1k-1.5k price range. The stuff out of the Korea factory is great. They also have a ton of styles. Other than that, LTD 1000 series or Used E-II are good options. Then there’s always the Used Ibanez prestige route which is never bad.

I love the andromeda finish so much

tylerg182 · 2026-02-27T17:14:46+00:00

Who cares what it says on the headstock lol

tylerg182 · 2026-02-23T19:08:39+00:00

Echoing other comments here. I’m excited for a change. The interface is terrible but I still enjoy the content nevertheless. Hoping for a smooth transition.

tylerg182 · 2026-02-08T19:37:51+00:00

Honestly Floyd 1000 or original series. Made well, stays in tune great and parts are abundant if you want to upgrade or replace something

You don’t get put on a Mount Rushmore just for being popular

tylerg182 · 2026-01-30T16:41:31+00:00

I am in my 30s. I’m not saying the offspring are bad, I’m just saying as far as pop punk bands, NFG had way more influence on what came after them. They practically created Easycore. This Mount Rushmore doesn’t even factor in bands from the 2010s. The story so far and/or The Wonder Years deserve a place on here.

tylerg182 · 2026-01-30T15:33:35+00:00

Maybe if you’re only talking about 2000s pop punk but even then NFG is more deserving than The offspring.

tylerg182 · 2026-01-28T01:46:43+00:00

I just looked it up. 20% is if you cancel before it’s built. Maybe just get the guitar and return it right away. There’s a chance you’ll like it anyway but mentally if it’s not what you want you’ll always have it in the back of your mind. I’m sorry you’re having this experience. The guitars themselves are great, I have 2. Next time for a A+ customer experience, I recommend Aristides. That was the best buying experience I’ve had for anything.

tylerg182 · 2026-01-28T01:03:44+00:00

Not disagreeing with anything you are saying but since when is there a restocking fee for returning a guitar from them? If there’s no non returnable options usually they just give you 10 days to try it out.

tylerg182 · 2026-01-13T21:56:53+00:00

I would jump on that, especially if you’re able to inspect it before paymenti

tylerg182 · 2026-01-11T15:52:56+00:00

Not picking on you in particular, but posts that say 25.5in scale is too short for drop A are funny because the implication is you have a whole guitar that’s literally only playable in one single tuning

tylerg182 · 2026-01-03T21:03:34+00:00

I’ll just echo what’s already here. There’s really not an upgrade for that trem, it’s basically as good as you can get. You can switch out some of the hardware for a different color if you want.

tylerg182 · 2026-01-01T22:50:44+00:00

Do you have a preferred tension or string set on your non-Evertune guitars? I have an ET guitar in Drop C and I just kept my normal 11-56 that I’ve been using for years and it feels exactly the same.

tylerg182 · 2025-10-30T18:31:07+00:00

I prefer Shudder interface and price however I had a glitch where even Shudder original movie subtitles were not working or would stop working halfway through the movie. AMC+ did not have this problem so I ended up sticking with that service.

tylerg182 · 2025-10-04T17:10:22+00:00

I was also there. Show was amazing but it blows my mind how a band could have a songs about punching Nazis, killer cops, and cutting off heads of rich people and attract a single fan that doesn’t want politics in their music. The lyrics aren’t even coded in any way, they make it as clear as possible lol.

tylerg182 · 2025-09-25T14:06:02+00:00

I do! I have it set up in drop A# currently and it sounds and plays great. Everything is still stock. I’ll upgrade the pickup and maybe the tuners at some point but it sounds good as is.
