Jackson JS32T Warrior NO AH

I have tried a lot of Indonesian made Jacksons through the years.
A lot of them mid priced to slightly premium grade, and I've been disappointed in the quality control on pretty much all of em.
I purchased this one, mainly because I wanted to try out the Warrior shape without doing a big investment, and I was gladly surprised by the quality of the build.
Fit and finish was pretty much flawless on this one, exept for a tiny red dot on the binding of the treble side (wich won't be visible while playing).
Frets, while not perfect, were good enough to get a playable action.
While it's noticeable that the pickups are cheap, they sound surprisingly good and useable.
Only adjustments I had to do, out of the box was lower the bridge, and the bridge pickup a bit, and now it plays really good, while the pickup sounds nice and tight with plenty of output.
For a Nato body, the guitar was surprisingly lightweight as well, clocking in at just under 3kg, and it still balances well on a strap.
I could easily gig with this guitar as is.
The nut was cut a bit high as well, but still playable and far from the worst I've seen, and it's an easy fix with the right tools.
In the end, for the price, this is a fantastic guitar.
Maybe I was lucky and got a good one, but who knows...

Quite undoubtedly designed with young sherrers in mind, this guitar just happens to be uniquely comfortable for playing seated.
Its overall quality is just okay--not too good and not too bad either. As someone else wrote here, it is a good affordable foundation with a potential to become a great axe. To achieve this, one should first of all consider upgrading the pickups, as the stock ones are somewhat muddy. Better tuners would also be a welcome improvement. Some fret levelling would not hurt either. And one more thing that is not very obvious. If your particular piece happens to be noisy through the amp, please make sure that there is contact between the strings and the saddles. The surface of the black hardware might be a poor conductor. So, scratching it a little bit might considerably alleviate the noise problem, as it was in my case.
All in all, I am very much satisfied with this guitar, especially after making the above upgrades.
