They are quite pretty.

I'm not going to get a good one. i might have a scout for one of those chinese copies/fakes.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

My Kelly is a Jap professional circa '95, thru neck, ebony board n emg's, and it is totally amazing! Their pretty thin on the ground but I would highly recommend gettin any thru neck '90's Jap Jackson, easily as good as the USA ones are now!
I also have a Ran, which is AWESOME!!!!

I have a WR1, KV2 and RR24. There arent many better guitars out there.

But I'd avoid most cheap chinese or korean rip offs if you can. If you have to get a cheap guitar then Ibanez do some half decent budget stuff. The best "cheap" Jackson at the moment is the DK2M or DK2S. You can find them for about £250-£300 used and they are very respectable. But the RR24 is amazing for the money. Maybe £300-£450 used and its basically a US spec guitar and thrashes like a maniac.

Alternatively you can pick up old Charvel model series for a bargain. A model 6 is absolutely amazing (I love mine) but you can get a model 2 or 3 for anything around £200-£250. A model even better at £300 ish.
You could also score an old Ibanez RG570 thats had the shit kicked out of it for about £200-£250. A wonderful guitar.
