This guitar is similar to a USA Jackson KV or KV2, but made in Japan. This isn't just a Japanese Jackson, the Stars line is the premium edition, near the top of the line level of Japanese Jacksons.  You can look this up on google for their history. Very high quality Japanese guitar. Made in Germany Schaller bridge.  Sweet whammy bar, smooth as butter for Dimebag squeals or dive bombs.  Way better than most "real" Floyd Rose bridges I've played on. Seymour duncan bridge pickup (sounds great) as well as a special "Jackson Stars" neck humbucker pickup which isn't your typical cheap Jackson pickup.  This neck pickup is Amazing!  And very rare, the pickup alone is worth about $100 or more I believe if you check ebay history. Rosewood fingerboard.  Very nice low action, shreds.  Easy to bend strings, nice string tension, this is a player's guitar.  And sounds high quality too. I'm guessing alder body. Stays in tune even with whammy craziness and squeals. Bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan TB4 I believe, which is the same as a JB, this pickup is CLASSIC.  Easily does heavy metal or thrash, hard rock, jazz, blues, whatever.  Rocks hard, and versatile. 3 way switch.  Nice in-between tones, sounds good in all positions. Everything works perfectly. No dead notes while bending or playing any fret. VERY minimal buzzing at some spots, mainly the open B string, but it's not bad and you can barely hear it when plugged in. Comes with Jackson hard shell case molded for this V shape.  The case can be finicky to close flush, but once you get it, it's all good.  The alignment is just a bit weird at first, so you have to get that right, then it snaps into place perfectly.
