It's not a matter of what model, it's a set up issue.. If the action is that bad, it probably needs something along the lines of a complete set up, including truss rod adjustment.. Might even need a fret dress, level, and crown.. Take it to a luthier and see what it really needs before you try buying something else...

Hi
thanks for your answer, honestly it's not that bad...i already visited a luthier he did a complete set up he also claimed action can't be lowered more. he mentioned some other jackson model with flat fretboard Bolt-on neck guitars

As far as I know, all Jacksons have a compound radius, I am not aware of any with a flat fingerboard..

unsure but so far my best action is on my 500 dollar made in japan string through dinky mg model. amazing action. i can get that thing to where i just have to touch it, and barely have to put effort into it. honestly better than my usa king v i got. i dont know why. plus its way easier set up wise. compared to sitting there for hours messing with the screws then the floyd rose then the screws then the floyd rose.....hours and it never seems to work as good as the dinky string through model. it sounds a little more high end. but id switch out the seymour duncans for emgs any day, i play death metal and i love the fat meaty clarity the emg has over the glassy like seymour duncans, the the duncans are good for some scenarios for me though im way off subject sorry i love guitars lol!
