Jackson JS32 King V AH M Army Drab

Tbh, it really depends on what you're after and whether you can learn how to set up the FR.

It also depends on what you're going for aesthetically, especially with the army drab finish. I can say though, it's a lot more awesome in person than in the photos you might have seen when looking up this guitar.

Another thing I'd recommend is looking into the guitar and seeing if it fits what you want to learn. Overall, I think this is a great guitar for someone who's into metal, wants a Floyd Rose, and is just starting out.

I personally plan on switching out the pickups and FR because of what I want to get out of it, but it's really solid for the price and I can definitely recommend it.

The only thing I'd really warn about is the Floyd Rose. It can be a bit intimidating at first, especially if you've never used one before, and changing strings or tuning can take a little more time compared to a normal bridge. Once you get used to it though, it's really fun to use and being able to mess around with the trem without it going out of tune is pretty great.

Another thing you'll definitely get used to is the King V shape and how differently it sits compared to something like a Strat. At first it can feel a bit weird, especially if you've mainly played more traditional guitar shapes, but you get used to it pretty quickly. The only thing I've noticed is that if you get really used to playing a King V, going back to something like a Strat can feel weird as well. So if you're planning on switching between different guitar shapes a lot, that's something to keep in mind.

I'd also say don't buy it *just* because it looks cool. Make sure the specs actually fit the kind of music you want to play, because there are probably better options if you don't need a Floyd Rose. But if you're into metal and like the look of it, I'd say it's a really good first guitar for the price.
