Jackson Misha Mansoor Juggernaut HT6QM (Chlorine Burst)

I know that Misha Mansoor doesn't sell his name on products easily, they have to reach his expectations. I was really hyped when I saw these affordable versions of his splendid Jackson signatures and decided to give Jackson a try.

I dig the look of this guitar, simple, yet beautiful. The pickups are overall good for Jackson in-house pickups, but can be easily swapped out for Misha Bareknuckle Juggernauts signature pickups. The guitar plays great and it's a pleasure to pick it up.

Now, why "disappointing" ?
Simply because of the huge amount of Quality Control issues on my model. The photos on every sites show a perfect instrument, but mine was everything but flawless.
:

- It has a poor paint job on the head, with like glue stains
- The pickups are both not straight in their holes (not serious at all for this price)
- The volume know is hard to turn, when the tone know is super loose
- One Luminay side dot seems to have some wood left inside it (how could this even pass the QC ?)

Positive points :

- Good sound for the pickups they put in it
- Stunning look
- Simple and effective work machine
- Luminlays
- Bypass Tone knob
- Locking tuners

Negative points :

- Lots of QC issues (and not the small kind)

I bought three months after an Ibanez RGD Iron Label (same kind of budget) which came absolutely flawless. For a first try, it is incredibly disappointing from Jackson. This instrument could have be great for the price but I just cannot let the QC issues pass.
