General
Even though this solid-body electric guitar is based on a classic model, a quick glance instantly tells you you're dealing with a modern metal and rock instrument. Black hardware and electronics and a Trans Purple Burst finish lend a stylish look to this Jackson, which was designed for modern, advanced guitarists who love to play soaring leads as well as tight riffs in the lower regions. The guitar's rounded body contours and comfortable neck and fretboard allow for a pleasant playing experience.
Jackson Pro SC Monarkh: AHB-1 humbuckers & speed neck
This electric solid-body Jackson's ebony fretboard, which has a 12 to 16" radius, is glued to a maple speed neck that's attached to the guitar's mahogany body by means of a set-in joint. The Monarkh single-cut's warm acoustic sound has plenty of sustain and a light punch, and is amplified by two active Blackouts humbuckers that give it a good deal of definition. These Seymour Duncan AHB-1 pickups give you all you need for those rich rhythm parts and soaring leads ubiquitous in genres like rock and metal.
Monarkh single-cut guitars
As a guitar brand, Jackson predominantly caters to rock and metal guitarists who love fast, tough-looking instruments, and this Monarkh solid-body 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.

Zeer goede gitaar voor een spotprijs, de combinatie maple neck + ebony fretboard (geen rosewood, zoals bax aangeeft) + mahogany body + maple top geven deze gitaar zijn unieke feel en sound. Een zeer comfortabele ongelakte hals zorgt ervoor dat deze klaar is voor het zwaardere werk.
Ook een zeer origineel concept waren de ghostfin inlays, die deze gitaar meteen een agressieve look meegeven. Een paar actieve SD Blackouts (AHB-1) zorgen er daarnaast voor dat het niet bij de looks blijft, ook de sound van deze gitaar is puur en agressief in combinatie met een high gain amp. Voor cleans klinkt deze gitaar in de neck positie zeer warm en diepgaand, wat voor mij persoonlijk geen aanpassing meer nodig heeft.
Nog een extra pluspunt, de gitaar heeft standaard een Dunlop straplock systeem, waardoor deze gitaar meteen podiumklaar is, want over de afstelling en bedradingskwaliteit heb ik allesbehalve te klagen.
Minpunten?
1. Ze lijken zich te hebben uitgeleefd met de burst, waardoor de randen veel zwarter zijn dan verwacht en het paars meer naar de achtergrond verdwijnt.
2. Bij de overgang van unfinished neck naar de finish van de body is er een iets te dikke lijn voelbaar, zeer lichtjes schuren met K400 en problem solved.
Ik speel (nou ja, ik leer spelen) voornamelijk metal (en een beetje Blues en Clean) en deze Jackson is geknipt voor deze taak.
Great value for money !
