Yeah, the new Jetkings are pretty awesome.

i played one of the old jetkings a while back, they look amazing, but it rattled when you pick it up, had no kind of guts to it, felt flimsy and the neck was complete crap. i really hope the new ones are better than that.

I bought one today. Neck is 3 piece but not bad. I liked it. I can't see what made of body but it's too heavy i could say. I'm sure it's lots of pieces too. =)
Pickups are interesting. Soapbar pickups. I had never used before so i try to get used to it. I don't like them a lot yet.

Neck is very comfortable. I'm planning to change knobs, if i could find something torquose. =P
Tone knob don't have much effect, not as much as a hum pick's tone knob. I guess it's because of the quality of pickup. Bridge is cool, nice sustain. That's all for now. =)
I should take it to a luthier or change by myself but i should adjsut the truss rod.

And I don't know how to adjust soapbar pickup height. Any help will be nice. =/

Why would you buy a guitar id the body is too heavy and you don't like the pickups?

deadonkey · Post by **deadonkey** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 2:35 pm

because it looks fucking awesome, it's hard science.

Well, i'm not used to use a heavy guitar but habbits can change; can't they?
And i get used to it. I started to like it. =)

Fair enough.

I didn't mean that as a criticism or anything, it just seemed odd that you'd buy it whilst having these rather serious gripes with it.

me and james had an ss.org meetup today in town and tried to find one of these, but no dice.

Is there anyone know how couid i remove these soapbar pickups?
I'm planning to change my bridge pickup with a humbucker soapbar with 4 conductor type pickup.

Turn the two centre screws anti clockwise.

I agree with rob about the neck. The fret markers look dumb and I hate the way that the black headstock
looks with the green.
