Jackson Performer PS-II Reviews 
5 / 5 based on 1 reviewsSecond-hand, at a local music store. Paid $500 canadian, a brand new one of this model is worth around twice as much. I was looking for a 24-fret guitar, with a floyd type bridge and at least a humbucker and a single-coil. Found this one, which has become my main instrument. Korean made, 1996.
Nice, stubby neck good for pracitcally any playing style. Good pickups, bridging the humbucker with the middle single-coil gives a distinctive "pinchy" sound, which is excellent for simulating acoustic guitar sounds. This common pickup layout makes for a very versatile instrument. Jumbo frets very good for lead playing, and fairly good access to the upper (20-24) frets considering it's a bolt-on and stealth body shape.
The "licensed-under" floyd bridge that came on this guitar was a piece of -JUNK-, i replaced most of it (the baseplate, mounting posts, string blocks and screws, whammy bar...) with original Floyd-rose parts and now it's just awesome. The humbucker tends to give too much bass on the low strings.
Generally speaking, Jackson quality means good quality - except as i mentioned the "licensed-under" floyd-rose bridge imitations. Tuning heads and other mechanical parts very good quality, and nicely assembled electronics. Overall, the guitar's make and build is excellent.
A very good guitar. It required some modifications to be just right, but once they're made, this is my main instrument, and probably will be for years to come.
