Based on its technical and musician-led evaluation of several Jackson Guitars instruments, Sam Ash notes that the JS Series features the brand's most accessible entry-level guitars, offering fast-playing necks and aggressive designs to emerging players at a budget-friendly level. These guitars typically feature amaranth or laurel fingerboards, Jackson-branded pickups, and tremolos or hardtails. Moving up, the X Series is designed for musicians who require both stage-ready and studio-ready setups. X Series guitars have graphite-reinforced necks, higher-output pickups, compound-radius boards, and Floyd Rose tremolo systems. Pioneered by Jackson, compound-radius fingerboards flatten progressively up the neck, making chording easy near the nut and bending effortless higher up.
The gig-ready Pro Series and Pro Plus tiers feature premium tonewoods, neck-through construction, and pickups from Seymour Duncan, EMG, and Fishman. At the top end, USA Select and Custom Shop models represent the apex of the Jackson Guitars collection.
The guide also devotes attention to Jackson's artist signature guitars, which reflect specific design choices made in collaboration with internationally recognized players, including Misha Mansoor of Periphery, Jeff Loomis of Nevermore, and Josh Smith. Readers learn how these collaborations translate the demands of top musicians into production instruments now available to fans.
Beyond the lineup itself, the Sam Ash publication includes official Jackson factory setup specifications for guitars and basses. Detailed measurements for neck relief, string action, and playability allow owners to optimize their instruments to match the factory standard.
Sam Ash's guide is supported by the company's 100-year heritage, now continued exclusively online. Customers have access to expert consultation via phone or chat, as well as multiple purchasing solutions, including buy-now-pay-later programs.
"Over the years, Jackson Guitars has built one of the most diverse and versatile collections of guitars for modern guitarists. The lineup contains instruments for everyone," said a spokesperson for the store. "But option paralysis is a fun thing and makes it hard to really narrow down the specs and options that work for you. That's why we've created this exact guide, so you can make sure you get an instrument that meets all your needs."
