Jackson 2916902568 JS22 Monarkh SC Electric Guitar

The Jackson JS Series Monarkh SC JS22 is a right-handed, six-string solidbody electric guitar with a single-cut Monarkh body shape and Satin Black finish. It gives players a straightforward platform for amplified guitar tones, with dual humbucking pickups and familiar onboard controls. Its fixed bridge design and 24.75-inch scale make it a practical choice for players seeking a traditional single-cut format with Jackson styling.

This model is well suited to newer players building their first electric-guitar setup, as well as experienced players who want an affordable hardtail guitar for rehearsal or alternate tunings. The two Jackson high-output humbuckers provide bridge, neck, and combined pickup selections through a three-position toggle switch. Master volume and master tone controls keep adjustment simple at the guitar.

The JS22 Monarkh SC uses a nato body, a one-piece maple neck, and an amaranth fingerboard. Its 12-inch to 16-inch compound-radius fingerboard is more curved near the nut and flatter farther up the neck. Combined with 22 jumbo frets, this layout supports both chord work and lead playing across the fretboard.

A bolt-on maple speed neck with a satin urethane finish provides the guitar's main playing feel, while graphite reinforcement and a dual-action truss rod support neck adjustment. The 24.75-inch scale length offers a compact feel compared with longer-scale electric guitars. White dot position inlays, white neck binding, and a black plastic nut complete the playing surface.

For hardware, the guitar uses a Jackson TOM-style adjustable bridge with an anchored tailpiece and Jackson sealed die-cast tuning machines. This hardtail arrangement is intended for conventional string changes and adjustable string action and intonation. Pair it with a compatible guitar amplifier, instrument cable, and any preferred pedals to build a complete practice, recording, or performance rig.

Design & Installation

The JS22 Monarkh SC combines a satin-finished nato body with a bolt-on, one-piece maple neck and amaranth fingerboard.
