  • Jackson Pro Series neck joints

    I think the neck joints on the Jackson Pro series guitars aren't the greatest. It's bulky and access to the higher frets could be better.
    So, I have an RR3 and a KE3, has anyone sucessfuly converted it to an AANJ type? or am I wasting my time?

    Thanks for your opinions

      I've never had any trouble with them. AANJs are easier, but Jackson's heels aren't bad.

      If you do chop one down, remember to get shorter neck bolts.

        I agree, not that bad.
        But for a modern guitar, I'm wondering why they have such a vintage heel construction?

          Anything else wouldn't be a Jackson It's not like Fender knows how to fix that issue either.

            What's an AANJ? Can you eat it?

              For the Jackson Pro series' I guess it stands for "All Antiquated Neck Joint" ? :ROTF:

              Nah ... I love my Jacksons

                for dinky type bodies standart neck joint doesn't affect playibility imo.but japan kelly's and rr's neck joint must change.at least they must be like musicman petrucci model.it's not round like aanj but it has a similar cutaway

                  I wouldn`t change a thing on the Import or USA Dinky`s. Very Nostalgic and very Jackson and very playable in my opinion. Now Fender`s, that is just way to blocky for me!! Jack.

                    I have 3 Ibanez RGs 1 AANJ and 2 old school neck plate type and I really dont see that big a difference.I just put my 93 dinky XL back together and it feels killer. The neck joint is standard Jackson and feels great.
                    Really? well screw Mark Twain.

                      The neck joints aren't *super* slim but they're pretty good. Not as fat as strats and such.. no complaints here.

                          The slanted heels on the PS4, I think is a little more comfortable than the modern Dinkys, but all are alot better than Fenders.
