Jackson Monarkh SC JS22Q - Trans Purple Burst Reviews
With distinctive looks, aggressive tone, and impressive playability, the Jackson JS Series Monarkh SC JS22Q has classic Jackson appeal at a great price. Its eye-catching quilt maple top is guaranteed to turn a few heads. Its high-output ceramic humbucking pickups sound intense and can easily take your amplifier from clean sounds to metal territory. Expect many years of reliable playability thanks to its graphite-reinforced neck with compound-radius fretboard. Learn to play longer runs across more of the neck, taking advantage of a contour-cut heel for easier fret access. The SC JS22Q packs a lot of value.

For the price almost can't beat it.
It's a good guitar. It's a less paul style with a bolt on neck.The arm cut makes it so playable neck has a nice finish.
Frets shoot guitars way above It's price point.
Amazing
I love this guitar. It's beautiful, great sounding pickups and the most comfortable I've ever played. But what's more amazing is Sweetwater's concern over my happiness with their product. When I received it , it didn't come with the 55 point inspection it was supposed to have. When I emailed Sweetwater about it within an hour they called me back and offered to exchange it. By this time I had already set it up and didn't want to return it so to repay me for my time they sent me a FREE hard shell Gator case and I'm talking top of the line. I'm overwhelmed !!! I will never buy music gear from anyone else . Thanks so much to the Sweetwater team that cared so much for a little guy like me being happy.
REVIEW UPDATE
I had to write a review update after playing an annual Festival in a nearby town on Jun 8th. This guitar is a keeper. It played and sounded really good and stayed in tune well for a hot and humid day. I got alot of compliments on my sound and the guitar itself and it's pretty easy on the eyes also. Love the finish and the compound radius fingerboard! I usually MOD every guitar that I get in some kind of way or another but this
one is what it is and I am going to leave it stock.
I think my backup guitar is Jealous cuz I played this one the whole gig and never took the other one out of its case.
Deep thanks and respect go out to Ted Hunter and the Sweetwater Gang!

Flawless finish and great playing guitar for the dough.
I wanted to wait until I test drove this guitar for a while before writing a review. She LQQKS AWESOME and PLAYS GREAT! I don't know what more you could ask for out of a guitar of this price range. Heck, I have had some guitars that cost 2 to 3 times more that did Not play as good as this one. Love the compound radius neck and to my ear the pickups sound quite good. Don't see any reason for any mods to this one. She is a solid build.......oh.......and its not hard to look at either.
I want to thank the Sweetwater Team and Ted Hunter for bending over backwards for me on this one. It is the first time purchasing a guitar from Sweetwater and it was a good first time experience. I will buy from here again. Now......my next possible purchase......an Arctic White Fender Duo Sonic!

I like this guitar but...
I've had this guitar for over 6 months now so I've definitely had some time with it. Let me start by saying I love the look of this guitar minus the quilt on mine looks more like a flamed top. Pickups also sound good for what it is. I do have some complaints. Basically every fret was sharp so I had to do a fret file, the guitar feels very small to me also I cleaned the headstock with a baby wipe and it is now faded cloudy white in some spots. Other than all that it's not a bad choice for $... man.(:
