Jackson Pro Series Josh Smith SL7 ET Reviews

Amazing guitar, no regrets.

This guitar hit every spec I wanted. It has the 27 inch scale, amazing pickups, comes stock with straplocks, locking tuners and an Evertune. The color is way more beautiful in person, the neck is actually darker than any photos would lead you to believe and I am immensely satisfied. The guitar is a perfect combination of modern specs and cool 1980s superstrat aesthetics. The pickup configuration makes for a lot of variety with very limited controls. There are no push-pull knobs, the blade switch is only a 3 way, yet using the volume controls correctly allows you to even coil split the bridge pickup. The Evertune bridge is extremely intuitive and if one has had to deal with a Floyd Rose-style bridge, this would feel like a walk in the park. One issue I had on my particular guitar - which does not imply that this is an issue with the model - is that I experienced significant grounding issues. That is a quick fix for someone with some experience. That being said, this is a guitar priced at nearly 2k euro - thus, it was rather disappointing. That being said, once fixed, the guitar became absolutely jaw-dropping.
