General

If you're looking for an affordable LP-style guitar to play rock and metal on, then Jackson's JS22 SC Monarkh fits the bill. This model from the JS series features a single cutaway and is great for beginners or advanced players on a tight budget. It has a black satin gloss finish with white bindings on the neck and black hardware to complete the stylish look. A tune-o-matic style tailpiece, a compensated bridge, and an amaranth fretboard with a compound radius are other notable features.

JS22 SC Monarkh

The compound fretboard radius is 12" to 16" in width, which makes it easier to play chords lower down on the neck and solos higher up. The maple neck is bolted on to a body made of poplar. The combination of wood types used give the Monarkh a well-balanced tone, which is then picked up by the high-output humbuckers. Whether you're playing tight rhythms or fast leads, the Monarkh delivers.

Monarkh single-cut guitars

Jackson is primarily known as a maker of fast, rugged guitars for rock and metal guitarists. Despite its understated look, the solid-body Monarkh is no exception. It's part of the first range of single-cut guitars that the renowned American brand has added to the series. With this model, Jackson has given the LP-style guitar a modern twist, making it perfect for professional and advanced guitarists, as well as beginners.

Hele fijne gitaar die Jackson! Vooral de hals ligt super in mijn kleine handen. Speelt lekker soepel en is ook nog eens vetmooi om naar te kijken!

Ben eigenlijk een Ibanez fan maar had een gitaar voor 'erbij' nodig. Ben stomverbaasd, wat een mooie en goed afgewerkte gitaar is dit (ik heb de witte) en dat voor zo weinig geld €172,- ! en hij speelt en klinkt ook nog eens heel erg lekker. Super blij hier!

Echt waar voor je geld als je een betaalbaar LP model wilt en je geen fan bent van de epiphone modellen.
De gitaar klinkt goed en voelt comfortabel aan om te spelen. Ik raad wel aan om een zwaardere set snaren te gebruiken dan de standaard 9's. Door de insnijdingen en de bevels voelt dit veel beter aan dan vergelijkende modellen van de andere merken die ik heb geprobeerd. Door de satin finish voelt deze ook nooit "plakkerig" aan zoals sommige gloss finishes.

Als je wilt beginnen met elektrische gitaar raad ik deze zeker aan!
