Surprising quality for the price
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...
