Frequently Asked Questions
It’s likely a ‘C’ shape, fairly standard for Jackson’s entry-level range – comfortable but not exceptionally thin or thick, offering a good balance for various hand sizes.
Absolutely. The standard Jackson pickups are easily swapped out for aftermarket options; the routing provides ample space for different pickup sizes and configurations.
The amaranth fretboard typically has a smoother, more polished feel than some budget alternatives, but it might not be as slick as a high-end oiled finish.
