Features and functionality

  • The PS2 features a traditional super Strat design with HSS configuration, making it distinct from the PS4's HSH setup, which some users find less common in Jackson models.

Mods and upgrades

  • Installing a Schaller baseplate for the tremolo and a Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge position are recommended upgrades for improving tone and performance on the PS2.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • When replacing the tremolo on MIJ Jacksons, note that you may need to remove some nut shelf material to fit an original Floyd nut properly.

    Source

User experience

  • The PS2's neck, often compared to the RR3, is praised for its playability and aesthetic appeal, particularly the Fender-inspired close dot markers on the fretboard.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The PS4, despite its pristine condition, may not hold as much long-term value as MIJ DK2s, but it remains the most sought-after model within the Performer series.
