This Jackson American Virtuoso HT has only one goal: to conquer you so that you take it in hand and play for hours in the best conditions.

And to do so, it has some strong arguments.

Starting with a solid alder body for a balanced sound, excellent resonance and plenty of attack, ideal for a versatile sound base.

On the latter is screwed a 5-piece caramelized maple/maple/caramelized maple/maple/caramelized maple neck, reinforced with graphite strands for monstrous stability. In order to perfect the attack and provide surgical precision, the fingerboard is made of striated ebony, the ideal choice to keep great clarity in your riffs and solos.

The little touch that perfects the whole: the radius is compensated guaranteeing you the best grip no matter your position on this devilish neck.

Don't be fooled by the Snow White color that wants to make you believe that it is wise, the pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers will make you understand that it has it in the belly. All lovers of Rock and/or Metal know this legendary combination of passive microphones with assertive grain and dynamics.

The JB (TB-4) is capable of producing crystalline clean sounds bordering on Jazzy, but when you engage the saturation, it shows great aggressiveness thanks to a response of the mediums put forward.

The '59 (SH-1n) is its perfect complement, all in roundness and presence, its moderate output level will give you fluty leads and a superb homogeneity in your sweeps. It is also a treat in clean sound, marrying superbly with various effects.

The 5 positions of the selector will allow you to reach split coil positions that will open you to new sound perspectives and great versatility.

To protect this little monster, Jackson provides a case filled with protective foam, and you can travel to all your concerts with peace of mind.
