also, i have played many Ibanez, Fender, Westone, Watson, Washburn, ESP Gibson, Godin, almost every single guitar on that list except for that tokai thing, and i can honestly say, first time i played a Jackson, i loved it! i liked the body, it wasnt too heavy, or too light, perfect, mind you, i wasnt big into guitars then, only knew smoke on the water intro riff and the blues riff little bit, so i would go down to the music store and try to be a big shoot, ohh, the good ole days
