Born in Southern California in 1980, Jackson was the first brand to embrace the needs of hard rock and metal virtuosos by providing instruments with feature sets that catered to high-velocity playing.

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 machine. The all-new Jackson American Series is the next chapter in Jackson's storied legacy, marking the first made-in-Corona flagship product line for the brand.

Bolt-On Five-Piece Multi-Laminated Caramelized Maple/Maple Neck

Bolt-on construction joins the neck to the body of the guitar with screws or bolts, allowing for more control, attack and sustain. The neck features an alternating 5-piece caramelized maple/maple design for a uniquely attractive look and added strength to protect against warping from extreme temperature fluctuations.

Seymour Duncan Jb Tb-4/'59 Sh-1N Pickups

It doesn’t get more classic than the JB/’59 pickup combination. The incredibly popular JB pickup brings big, heavy sound, sustain and rich harmonics, while the ’59 offers sweet sounds and clarity. Put these two together to create the ultimate in versatility, capable of handling a wide spectrum of genres from country to blues to punk to metal. The pickups are mounted to the body for increased resonance and vibration transfer, adding more punch and sustain to your sound.
