An Entry-level Guitar You May Never Outgrow
With distinctive looks, aggressive tone, and impressive playability, the Jackson JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 has classic Jackson appeal at a great price. 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 JS22 packs a lot of value.
Aggressive tone delivered by ceramic-magnet humbucking pickups
The SC JS22 packs a pair of ceramic humbucking pickups and can deliver a wide tonal range. Pickups with ceramic magnets are popular in heavier music styles due to their high output, exceptional clarity, and wide frequency response. That also makes them perfect for most other styles too, giving you a robust guitar signal for further sculpting with pedals and your amplifier's tone controls.
Plays fast across the entire fretboard
As your playing speeds up, the SC JS22 won't get in your way. The compound-radius fretboard is rounder near the nut for easier chords, and it flattens out as you move up the neck for faster melodic playing. And you'll find it's comfortable to play up to the highest frets, thanks to the contour-cut heel that helps you transition to the highest registers on the fretboard.
Sturdy neck that's built to last
Your guitar's neck takes a lot of abuse, between your playing and the constant string tension. The SC JS22 boasts a graphite-reinforced maple neck designed to resist twisting and warping over the years. The guitarists here at Sweetwater are impressed by the reliability of the SC JS22.
