Jackson JS30RR for $120???

Leendrix · 11-03-2009, 08:17 PM

I went to a local pawn shop today, and after looking around (searching through a bunch of low grade strat, les paul knock offs, and cheap acoustics that were over priced), and found ONE guitar worth considering. A used, Jackson JS30RR. Had some kind of metal skull thing put into the lower wing on the body, and a SLAYER sticker on the electronics cover on the back.

But it seemed a bit beat up. So I asked the sales clerk how much they wanted for it (no price tag) and he said $120. I'm going to try to get him down a bit. That's too much considering it's condition.

My question to you all, is... Is it worth the money? I'm going to try for around $80 or $100. I know it's already a low price but... I'll just post pics if I get it.

Thanks everyone!

If you can grab it for $100 consider it a great restoration project

Agrees.
Great for a project guitar.

But, don't ever expect it to be a great shredder guitar.

IMHO, these are Jackson's entry level guitars.
