The mahogany body of this guitar is adorned with an arched top made of poplar root with a striking wood grain supported by a Transparent Purple Burst finish. A maple neck reinforced with graphite bracing is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-two jumbo-sized frets. Its combined radius flattens towards the body - allowing both comfortable riffing at the zero fret and comfortable ultra-fast shred at higher positions. Position markers made of imitation Ghostfin pearl make it easy to navigate its surface.
The combination of Seymour Duncan's JB (B) and '59 (N) humbuckers provides the sound with a balanced balance of aggression and warmth, as well as the necessary fullness, dynamics and precise articulation for singing solos or chord breakdowns. The guitar can thus be used in a wide range of genres, not just metal and rock. Two volume potentiometers (for each pickup separately), a tone shutter and a three-position pickup switch are used for sound adjustments.
Precise tuning and good sustain are guaranteed by fitting the strings via a fully adjustable compensated tailpiece (TOM style) in the strings and the company's lockable Die-Cast tuning machines. The nice workmanship is accentuated by the white body, neck and headstock trim complemented by black lines and black hardware.
For several decades, electric guitars of the American Jackson brand 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.
