After announcing its American Virtuoso range with vibrato, Jackson now presents a line of fixed bridge models for the most daring rhythm players.

Made in Corona, California, this riff machine is a gem for Rock or even Metal and uses only the best elements on the market.

We find, for example, an alder body with a balanced and massive sound, on which is screwed a 5-piece caramelized maple/maple/caramelized maple/maple/caramelized maple neck with ebony fingerboard, providing a crystalline and precise attack.

The radius of the neck is compensated (12-16") which will delight both rhythm players looking for stability and a good grip, and soloists who will be happy to be able to play at 200 km/h on a comfortable highway.

The Hipshot .175 bridge, renowned for its comfort in the grip, is supported by a set of Gotoh locking tuners to guarantee excellent tuning stability, even with the most virulent right hands.

In terms of sound, the manufacturer has called upon THE pair of Seymour Duncan JB (TB-4) and 59 (SH-1n) double coil pickups. Renowned for their great versatility, capable of alternating between crystal clear clean sounds and wild saturations, these pickups are capable of playing on all terrains, and more particularly thanks to the 5-position selector allowing the pickups to be selected in Full (double coil) or Split (single winding).

In order to travel with your instrument in complete peace of mind, Jackson provides a soft case to avoid damaging the satin black finish.
