The body of this guitar is made of poplar. A single piece maple neck with graphite bracing is bolted to a single piece amaranth (purpleheart) fingerboard with twenty-four jumbo frets. Its radius flattens out towards the body - allowing both comfortable riffing at the zero fret and comfortable ultra-fast shred at higher positions. Position markers made of imitation Sharkfin pearl make it easy to navigate the fingerboard surface.
Two company-branded humbuckers in black and white "zebra" finish with ceramic magnets and high output signal give the guitar the juicy sound, so much needed in metal and rock music. Volume potentiometers, tone controls, and a three-position pickup switch are used for sonic adjustments. The strings are housed in the company's Die-Cast tuning machines and a licensed Floyd Rose double-turn tremolo, which you can use to add impressive sound effects to your playing.
For several decades now, Jackson electric guitars have appealed primarily to musicians from metal, metal/core, HC or djent bands who profess a loud sound with a more or less diluted dose of aggression, as evidenced by the company's roster of players. However, the radical metal design can also enchant adventurous musicians from the completely opposite musical spectrum, as evidenced, for example, by Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote, who in turn clearly prove that the sound of Jackson instruments can make its way into genres built on a clean, warm sound.
