HIGHLIGHTS

• THROUGH-BODY THREE-PIECE MAPLE NECK CONSTRUCTION

True neck-through-body construction has been a Jackson hallmark since 1980, allowing for greater playability, warmer tonal spectrum and enhanced sustain. This method of guitar construction involves seamlessly extending three pieces of maple wood used for the neck through the entire length of the body. Graphite- reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road.

• EMG® 81/85 PICKUPS

This classic EMG pickup combination features the ever-popular 81, which delivers an impressive amount of high end cut and fluid sustain. The sophisticated and versatile 85 includes alnico magnets that can take the player from blues to metal, providing the ability to jump from a smooth lead tone to a deep growl.

• JUMBO STAINLESS STEEL FRETS

Stainless steel frets are a significantly harder and smoother material than nickel-silver, giving them extreme durability and a glassy playing feel making bending a breeze.
