I owned two Jackson Pro's ten years ago, moving up from some Ibanez's I was using at the time. They were very good guitars, I was impressed with how well the neck played, sounded, and held up despite being ridiculously thin. Their necks and fingerboards are typically well-executed, and the body finish is pretty good as well. Since then, they've made a lot of lower priced guitars made in different countries with lesser materials, so I can't speak for all Jacksons, but the Japanese-made ones I had were well-worth the money.
