The body of this guitar is made of sandblasted ash and adorned with a Baked Red finish. An ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four jumbo-sized frets is glued to a bolt-on neck with graphite bracing composed of two maple parts and a wenge middle part. Its radius flattens towards the body - allowing both comfortable riffing at the zero fret and comfortable ultra-fast shredding at higher positions. Orientation around the fingerboard surface is made easier by offset position markers in imitation mother-of-pearl and luminescent dots on the side, giving you perfect visibility even in the darkest parts of the stage.
Two active Fishman Fluence Open Core humbuckers give the guitar a dynamic, clearly articulated sound and a wide range of sonic options, taking advantage of three different pickup settings (voicing 1-3). At positions 2, 3 and 4 of the five-position blade switch, the guitar offers the single coil sounds of Voicing 3, while a push/pull of the tone shield at positions 1 and 5 activates Voicing 2. With this instrument, you'll be able to ride the waves of modern hi-gain metal, classic rock, blues or jazz with ease.
Stable tuning and good sustain are guaranteed by the Gotoh locking mechanism and the solid Hipshot 6 headstock with steel saddles and string anchorage through the body.
For several decades now, electric guitars from the American brand Jackson 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 list 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.
