Go for what YOU like.Jackson makes quality guitars and I doubt you'll find one that "sucks",but for the money your going to spend you should be happy with it without compremise.Simply go for somthing you think sounds awsome,looks awsome,plays/feels awsome and has a reliable reputation(by which I mean wont sh*t the bed).If the dkmg is somthing youve been drooling over and really want(like me and my schecter stealth)then go for it!Just know exactly what your paying for.Go to harmonycentral.com and check out reviews of the guitars your considering(assuming you cant play every guitar your considering at your local music shop).

Later! \m/
