JACKSON Pro Series Signature Mark Heylmun Rhoads RR24-7 EB LUX

The Pro series of the American brand Jackson represents professional quality electric guitars designed for active musicians and the general music public. In addition, instruments with typical company design, quality workmanship and great playing characteristics can still be purchased at a price that won't break your budget.

This seven-string guitar is the signature model of Mark Heylmun of the American deathcore band Suicide Silence. The guitar's construction consists of a nyatoh wood body and a through-molded maple neck reinforced with graphite bracing. This solution has a positive effect on the sustain of the instrument. The ebony fingerboard is fitted with twenty-four jumbo-sized frets. Its radius flattens towards the body - allowing both comfortable riff playing at the zero fret and comfortable ultra-fast shred in higher positions.

Two active Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers with ceramic and alnico magnets give the guitar a great dynamic sound (without any accompanying noise) with precise articulation of individual notes/chords and, if needed, a good amount of punch/aggressiveness. The Push/Pull function of the tone control allows you to switch between voicings - the guitar's sonic arsenal is thus much wider than it might at first appear. A three-position pickup switch completes the controls as standard.

The strings are mounted in the company's Die-Cast tuning machines and a Floyd Rose (1000 Series) double-turn tremolo, which you can use to add impressive sound effects to your playing. In addition to the locks on the zero fret, the longer 673 mm gauge contributes to tuning stability.

For several decades now, electric guitars from the American brand Jackson have been appealing mainly 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 list of corporate players.
