How were the Japanese models any better???jackson = win. one of the only few brands i can say "yep, bonerific" ... but i dont think that this will endure the future models and company/product management. specially because they closed or "cancelled" the last japanese producing facility and the agents on musik messe told me about not having a new factory to produce models in japan. no at the moment. no yet. no until now. that means only china/india crap besides the boring us-models.
anyways, best jackson models have been produced in the past. from professional dinky/soloist, concept dinky/soloist, etc japanese models series beginning in 92 until the facility where jackson stars have been produced and slsmg were cancelled (2006 i think). since then there has been only crap concerning models. nothing special. just bling bling stuff with spec-bait n stuff. but at least it was japan made. and not outsourcing, fee-dumping and so on driven crap. its very sad. all to the cost of the musician. woods wont dry as long as back then. final inspections will be more tolerate. and bla bla bla you know it. high grade quality guitars for the cost of a upper mid class range instrument are dying.
