JS32 King V™, Black
Experts consider the shark to be evolutionary
perfection – the ultimate killing machine. The new
Jackson JS Series is the affordable axe equivalent; each
JS instrument is swift, sleek and deadly. Built with more than
30 years of Jackson expertise, JS series guitars are the ultimate
shredding machines.
Jackson JS models are armed with high-output pickups, jumbo frets
and a tilt-back headstock – a feature normally found on more expensive
instruments. This design negates the use of string-trees, which often
cause tuning issues due to the unnecessary friction they create. JS
Series guitars also feature compound radius fingerboards – a stunning
design innovation unique to Jackson that rises above the competition
in terms of shredability. The fingerboard radius is roundest near the nut
– perfect for fretting deadly riffs and crushing chords. As players climb
the neck, the fingerboard’s curvature gradually flattens out – perfect
for warp-speed shredding and effortless string-bending.
JS32R Dinky™, Snow White
The foundation of the JS Series is the original JS1: an incredibly-popular, no-nonsense axe. Building on that, JS2 and JS3 models feature
custom-voiced high-output Jackson pickups, 24 frets, trademark
shark fin inlays and a Jackson gig bag. Five new JS3 models now
come armed with double-locking tremolo systems, licensed by Floyd
Rose®. Visit your nearest Jackson dealer and grab a new JS Series
instrument by the neck. Your fingers will thank you.

JS3 G uitars with Fixed B ridges
Compound Radius Fingerboard
The five classic Jackson shapes all boast the same features as
their locking tremolo brethren, but with a fixed adjustable bridge
and string-through-body design for maximum sustain and resonance.
Their tilt-back headstock design ensures correct string tension
at the nut without ugly string trees and the tuning issues they
invariably cause.
A feature unique to Jackson® that lets you shred like no other –
rounder near the nut so it’s perfect for fingering deadly riffs and
crushing chords. Then, as you climb the neck, the fingerboard
flattens out, making it perfect for warp-speed shredding and
effortless string bends.
24 Jumbo Frets
Superbly finished and easily accessible, the frets
on Jackson JS guitars improve your playing. When
combined with our compound radius fingerboard,
this feature ensures effortless string bending and
super-fast shredding all the way up to the 24th fret.
Distinctive Shark Fin Inlays
Undeniable. Unmistakable. Jackson. This instantly
recognizable feature makes our guitars stand out from the
crowd. Jackson guitars not only play better – they look better.
JS32T Rhoads, Inferno Red
High-Output, Custom-Voiced
Covered Jackson Pickups
Painstakingly voiced for full, rich tone while providing
maximum overdrive and sustain. These bad boys also
clean up nicely when rolled back, which isn’t always
true of high-output pickups.
Tilt-Back Headstock
A feature normally found on more expensive instruments.
This design negates the use of string-trees, which often cause
tuning issues due to the unnecessary friction they create.
JS32RT Dinky™, Tobacco Burst
High-Quality Jackson Gig Bag
Cover your axe. Besides protecting JS guitars, the gig bag lets
players carry it with ease, confident it won’t get dinged. Why
buy a lesser guitar that comes in a mere cardboard box?

NOT ALL NECKS ARE CREATED EQUAL
Neck-width and back-shape are vital for playing
comfort, but the fingerboard is where the rubber
meets the road – that’s where your fingers will
freeze, fumble or fly. And this is where Jackson’s
unique compound radius fingerboard comes
into play.
All JS Series Jackson® guitars boast a
compound radius fingerboard and the
slickest, most comfortable back-shape
in rock. So head to your Jackson dealer
today and grab a new JS by the neck.
Your fingers will feel the difference
and your shredding will soar.

The fingerboard is rounder near the nut
(12” radius at the 1st fret) – perfect for
fretting deadly riffs and crushing chords
with ease.
As you climb higher, the fingerboard
gradually flattens out (16” radius at the
24th fret) – making it perfect for effortless,
warp-speed shredding and the widest
string bends known to man.
