Meterialien und Features
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.
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.

Jackson Guitars was created when Grover Jackson took over the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with the then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape, which is still available today, and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was just right because heavy metal was experiencing a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (started by Eddie Van Halen) was so-called super or power strats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST form , but are equipped with more modern and stylistically more suitable components such as humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forger of premium, American-built, high-end custom instruments that could be seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the time. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East in order to be able to offer their instruments in cheaper areas. Since 2002, both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
