Jackson has continued to revolutionize its high-performance craft over the last 40 years, while dominating the metal landscape as the industry's leading shred machines.

Discover the Jackson American Series Virtuoso in detail
Designed to inspire players around the globe, the American Series Virtuoso comes equipped with all the essential features demanded by today's high-velocity players. The model starts with an alder body featuring a contoured "hand-shake" heel to ensure ergonomic comfort during long sets.
Design and wood
The five-piece multi-laminated caramelized maple/maple neck is bolted-on with graphite-reinforcement rods that provide rock-solid stability all the way up to the 24th fret. The ultra-fast 12"-16" compound radius streaked ebony fingerboard with rolled edges is built from the get-go for easy chording and riffing near the nut and speedy scale runs as you move up the neck. Luminlay side dots ensure you always land on the right fret even on the darkest stages, while a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel allows for quick neck relief tweaks on the fly.
Top class hardware
The HH pickup configuration includes a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 humbucker bridge pickup that boasts hot-rodded attitude and a powerful low end, while the Seymour Duncan ‘59 SH-1N neck pickup shines with glassy highs and scooped mids that are suitable for a variety of genres. The intuitive control layout consists of a five-way switch and dome knobs for volume and tone.
Other premium features include either a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system for reliable tuning stability when playing boldly and aggressively, or a Hipshot hardtail bridge. Elegant, black Gotoh MG-T Magnum Locking Tuners and Dunlop Dual-Locking Strap Buttons are also included.
Cool new finishes
The American Series Virtuoso is available in cool colours such as Mystic Blue, Satin Black, Satin Shell Pink, Red Crystal or Specific Ocean with the classic, bound, pointed Jackson headstock and elegant black hardware. The headstock is painted to match the body colour.
