Jackson Phil Demmel Demmelition King V Electric Guitar  

I'm absolutely in love with this guitar. The only issues I have had are that the paint in the cutaway isn't layed nearly as thick as the rest of the guitar, and when I recieved it, it had the worst set up of any out of the box guitar I've ever seen. The paint is only noticeable if you look closely, but the set up made the guitar impossible to play. I had to spend a decent amount of time adjusting the truss rod and intonation before it would play, but once it was done it is easily the top guitar I have played at anywhere near this price. Don't be fooled, this thing can do it all, from the clearest cleans to the most raunchy riffs and leads. Things about this guitar that are often hard to come by are that every single note on the board sounds loud and clear, the board itself is bound perfectly and the EMG's are awe inspiring. Another huge plus for V lovers is the case. It fits in a car! Moral of the story, this is a great piece of equipment to add to your arsenal. 

this guitar looks feel and sounds amazing , everyone who thinks it feels fake has no idea what fack is like .. made in japan makes it more realible then any other made guitars the guitar is easy to carry around looks steller and has anything a metal machine should have and then some . has good pickups and sound good clean i run it through my bugera 333xl half stack and sounds amazing i have one thing to say BUY IT NOW!!

I originally was going to get a Dean or Jackson Dkmg at one of the nearest music stores, but the guitar tech started to explain to me different pro's and con's of different styles of guitars and brands. I picked up this guitar and it was love at first touch. It was an incredible deal too. It was practically a steal. I'm very happy with this guitar.

I bought this a few months ago from a local Jackson dealer.  The features are great, the OFR stays in tune, craftsmanship is excellent.  This guitar is on par with a handmade Hamer I had in the late 80's.   Don't be fooled, you CAN play other styles with this guitar depending on your amp/effects setup.  The tone is phenomenal.  Very thick and crunchy sounding, great sustain, and it's a killer metal guitar.  Stays in tune great, no problems.  I've played it at an outside gig with the temperature in the low 50's, no tuning problems.  Neck is solid and sturdy.  Not only is it great for metal, it works for music with dynamic changes as well.  Sounds great clean also.  The only thing I would change is to have a 3-way selector switch instead if the Strat-style blade switch, but it's not a problem for me, the blade switch works well.  Electronics are top-notch.  Buy it, you can't go wrong with Jackson!!

I bought this guitar last week, it is my fourth guitar, i also have an Esp Eclipse standard 2, Ltd Mh-1000 with Seymour Duncan Blackouts, and a Jackson Dk2 with a Seymour Duncan Invader. It very light, extremely fast neck, it is perfect for metal, and if you have about 1300 then u should defiently buy this guitar, i have it in white and the finish is so beautiful... great guitar!
