General
Many guitarists who grew up in the 1980s will have become parents by now. The Jackson guitars that dominated that decade are now available in a convenient travel size! This JS1X Minion is a cool-looking Rhoads model in Neon Green! This striking guitar has a small body and a short 22.5" scale length, making it ideal for small shredders between the ages of 8 and 12. As its frets are quite a bit closer together, even their small fingers will have no problem hitting the right notes. However, adults will find plenty to like about it as well, as this Jackson produces that true metal tone that allows them to relive their youths! What's more, as it's so small, the Minion is easy to take on the road with you as well!
JS1X Minion: construction
With the Rhoads Minion, Jackson proves that a beginner guitar doesn't have to be boring. The JS 1X's body is about a third smaller than that of a regular Rhoads guitar, but it offers just as much bang for your buck. While the points of a V-shape guitar are quite damage-prone, this Minion features a highly durable poplar body, so you won't have to worry. Furthermore, this wood type offers a balanced tone that is excellently suited for rock and metal. For added stability, the neck was reinforced with graphite. Furthermore, in order to evenly distribute the tension on the strings, the headstock is angled backwards - just like it is on more expensive Jackson models. Finally, two high-output humbuckers provide that powerful Jackson tone.
Jackson Guitars JS Series
The renowned American Jackson Guitars was founded by Grover Jackson in 1980 and gained fame with their V guitar for Randy Rhoads. These days, many famous guitarists play a Jackson guitar. Generally speaking, Jackson guitars have an elegant shape, a sharp headstock, sharkfin position markers and a powerful sound that's great for metal and hard rock. The JS series comprises several affordable models for beginner guitarists.
