The MusicStreet Setup Advantage: Why Your Jackson Deserves It
Jackson guitars are celebrated worldwide for their high-speed neck profiles, compound-radius fingerboards, and rock-solid double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo systems. However, to truly unlock the potential of a high-performance shred machine, the setup must be flawless. A fraction of a millimeter of neck relief or bridge height can make the difference between effortless sweep picking and frustrating fret buzz.
At MusicStreet, we ensure your Jackson plays at its absolute peak. We perform a **free £75 professional workshop setup** on every single Jackson guitar we sell. Our expert luthiers adjust the truss rod, file the nut slots, level the bridge saddles, balance the tremolo spring tension, and polish the frets to ensure your new instrument plays with a comfortable, buzz-free low action straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jackson Guitars
What is a compound-radius fingerboard on Jackson guitars? +
Jackson pioneered the compound-radius fingerboard. It features a rounder radius at the nut (typically 12") for comfortable chord playing, which gradually flattens out to a flatter radius (typically 16") as you move up the neck. This allows for effortless string bending and fast soloing without the strings "choking out."
What is included in your £75 professional setup? +
Our expert in-house technicians perform a complete multi-point inspection. This includes adjusting the neck relief (truss rod), setting the optimal string action (height) at both the nut and bridge saddles, setting the intonation, cleaning and conditioning the fretboard, polishing the frets, checking all electronics/pots, and installing a fresh set of premium strings.
Where are Jackson guitars made? +
Jackson guitars are manufactured in several locations depending on the series. Premium Custom Shop and select signature models are handcrafted in the USA. The Pro Series and MJ Series are manufactured in Japan and Mexico, the X Series is built in Indonesia, and the entry-level JS Series is manufactured in China.
Can I trade in my old gear toward a purchase? +
Absolutely. We offer a highly competitive part-exchange program. You can bring your gear directly to our Huntingdon showroom for an on-the-spot valuation, or contact us online with photos and details to receive a preliminary trade-in estimate.
The Jackson Legacy: Born to Shred
The story of the Jackson guitar began in the late 1970s when Grover Jackson took over Charvel's repair shop and was approached by legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads to design a completely unique, angular guitar. The resulting "Concorde" V-shape launched the Jackson brand and revolutionized the electric guitar industry.
Today, Jackson continues to push the boundaries of guitar design, offering innovative features like compound-radius fingerboards, graphite-reinforced neck-through construction, and high-output pickups designed to handle extreme gain while maintaining note definition.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a compound-radius fingerboard, and why is it on Jackson guitars?
A compound-radius fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut (typically 12") for comfortable chording and rhythm playing, and flattens out as you move up the neck (typically 16") for effortless, low-action soloing, fast runs, and wide string bends without "choking out." This is a signature feature of the Jackson guitar company.
Are Jackson guitars only good for metal and hard rock?
While they are designed with metal and rock in mind, Jackson guitars are highly versatile instruments. Models equipped with Seymour Duncan pickups or coil-splitting capabilities can easily handle blues, fusion, country, and session work, offering incredible clarity and dynamic range.
Does my Jackson guitar come set up?
Yes. Every Jackson guitar and bass purchased from MusicStreet receives a professional, custom setup in our in-house workshop before dispatch. If you have specific preferences for string gauge, tuning, or Floyd Rose configuration, simply let us know when placing your order, and our techs will configure it to your exact specifications.
Can I try these guitars in person?
Absolutely. We welcome you to visit our independent showroom at 10 Chequers Court, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. You can get hands-on with our collection, test them through premium amplifiers, and get honest, expert advice from our team of working musicians.
