Great value guitar, though not the best Jackson has to offer.
I've briefly owned and brought back to life a 2007, made in India model, that was in pretty good condition, though had been neglected by the original owner; later having sold it to a friend.
I'd say this is a really good playing guitar with a lot of potential after a setup (for some reason, someone at the plant considered it was a good idea to have the high E saddle moved all the way back, completely messing the intonation). The hardware is okay apart from the bridge, which feels quite cheap and poorly made in comparison to higher-end alternates by OFR and beyond, though it did serve the job. Other than that, everything feels solid and only the output jack needed replacement.
The pickups were surprisingly good, these unassuming ceramic, passive humbuckers can be incredibly versatile and sounded very pleasing to my ears. They can be coil-split, which I did through a push-pull pot during my ownership and do consider a worthy mod to do.
The bad: for starters, the cedar body was very heavy, which is surprising because that's supposed to be a lightweight wood. it was also cut as a simple slab of wood, lacking the front and back upper fret access carvings Jacksons are known for. Also, the choice of a 22 fret neck to spec it out may turn away some players wishing to downtune this one. Finally, and the biggest letdown for me, was the neck profile, which is on the thinner, modern C style and very familiar to those coming from the Strat world, but definitely not the ultra thin kind of deal classic Jacksons had to offer.
All in all, I'd say this is a worthy pick if you find one for the right price, perfectly suiting in stock form and only benefiting from some mods, though don't expect to get the full Jackson experience out of it, instead feeling more like a generic Superstrat guitar.
My first real guitar
This is my first real guitar. A 1996 Japanese made JS Dinky. The craftsmanship is excellent. However, the stock hardware is pretty cheap and needs an upgrade. Overall, feels and sounds great.

Solid Guitar
If you like Metal, I think it's a good beginner or spare- guitar. And with a blocked Trem or new Humbuckers it plays great.
