Huge Tone from a Short-scale Guitar

The Jackson RR Minion JS1X solidbody electric guitar is the perfect instrument for kids or adults who are looking for an easy-playing axe. Despite its small size, this 2/3-scale poplar guitar has features you'll love. It comes loaded with two high-output humbucking pickups, 24 frets, and a lightning-fast maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods. Add those features together, and you get four octaves of screaming leads and a sturdy, fluid neck that won't move as much as regularly reinforced necks. At Sweetwater, we love 2/3-scale guitars so much that many employees play them at their desks. The Jackson RR Minion JS1X electric guitar proves that big tones can come in small packages.

High-output pickups and classic controls

The Jackson JS series RR Minion comes loaded with two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups that have a variety of tonal options. These high-output pickups are voiced to provide a full, sustaining tone that will push your amp to overdrive. With the onboard 3-way blade switch and master volume and tone knobs, you can play screaming leads or create crunchy riffs.

Fast maple neck

This guitar ships with a 1-piece maple neck and fretboard with 24 jumbo frets and a 12-inch fretboard, ensuring its easy to play screaming solos and chords alike. The speed neck's carve is slim and the satin finish feels incredibly easy to play. The Jackson RR Minion JS1X solidbody electric guitar is sure to wow you with its comfortable fretboard and supercharged tones.

Reviews

Great price for modding! Plays sooo nice.
To make this into a shred machine I added a 41mm Gotoh top mount locking nut, a Kahler 4300 X-Trem and upgraded the string gauge to .010-.046 for adequate string tension. Viola! It's a hot-rodded shredder for us little guys! What a freaking ripper! Stays perfectly in tune and intonation now no matter how hard I abuse it. If you're looking for a hardcase it fits pretty well into a Gator Economy Jaguar case (GWE-JAG) with the slight modification of moving the neck cradle indent to the right by about 2 inches. Chugs and shreds with such ease! I love this thing!

Sounds great!
This short scale guitar is really good for any age . I really recommend to anyone . Great product with an amazing sound
Music background: Beginner
Sub machine gun guitar
This thing is very small but it rips! The poplar body makes it very light and that with the small size makes it feel like a very agile guitar. The aggressive pickups this guitar comes with coupled with the aforementioned features makes this little demon feel like a sub machine gun. It's small but it packs a huge punch.

The overall craftsmanship of the guitar could be better and the smaller scale may give some issues in tuning. The price cant be beaten though and jackson struck gold with this one imo.
Music background: Thrash
Great for the Price.
Sounds great and compared to other guitars, I would say it is definitely worth the price for what you get, even if it's a minion.
Perfect size for me. Great price for modding.
Put a capo on the 2nd fret of a super-strat and you get a 22.5" scale guitar. I'm 5'5 with smaller hands. With this guitar I feel like Paul Gilbert and Buckethead (huge guys with huge hands) must feel with a 25.5" scale. It's the perfect fit I've been searching for with shred neck. I replaced the hard tail bridge with a Kahler 4300 X-Trem (had to shim up the neck angle a bit). Replaced the plastic nut with a Gotoh 41mm locking nut and string tree. Put .010-.046 strings on and adjusted the truss-rod. Now this is the guitar I've always wanted but no one ever made.
