Great idea for a thread. New here and I'm digging it already.

Found another option from SKB but it was $454 vs $149 for this one!

Franklin Guitar Works on Reverb has Jackson American SL3 for $1399 and special mention of the CBXNT bass models for a crazy low $319. They are marked as mint, but I have ordered many guitars/basses from them that show up brand new in the box every time when marked mint and having the description of "We have multiple of these..."

FYI, I followed the USA SL3 listings of this and they sent me an additional 10% offer on top of the sale price

That's awesome! They've done that for me before, too on some past purchases. Pushed me over the fence.

Do you have one of these, or have you played one? I’m just getting back into playing after a twelve year hiatus, and haven’t had a Jackson in longer than that. I’ve only ever had the cheaper model Jacksons, though I remember liking even those well enough.

The biggest criticisms I’ve seen about this model: lack of binding (don’t really care about that), lack of the original German Floyd, polished nickel vs stainless steel frets, and no hard case.

Pretty legit complaints when a guitar costs 2.2k-2.5k, especially the latter, but much more easily overlooked for less than 1.4k all in. Would appreciate some feedback on playability and feel if you (or anyone else) have owned or played one.

I don't personally own one and the only one I've played had an OFR installed into it already (which I should have bought at about $1200 given it also came with a hardcase, just wasn't excited over the color). It was awesome feeling, but had been setup close to my taste, so can't really comment on a new one, tbh. (I think this exact one is/was up on Reverb shortly after I played it) What I can say is that I have been very happy with X and Pro series Jacksons the past few years as long as they came from Cort (ICJ serial number). They can be found at pretty low prices these days, usually. I don't think you'd be dissapointed in one.

I actually ended up ordering one last week and it arrived yesterday. Figured I couldn’t go wrong at that price, hard case or no. It’s surprisingly set up pretty well out of the box, though it needs a string change to a thicker gauge.

This is the first guitar I’ve played with a JB, and I don’t love it off the bat. Kinda shrill. Other than that, it’s really nice. Even the case is solid, though if I were a gigging musician I’d definitely want a hard case. Thanks for the heads up on the deal!
