Jackson Guitars - 291-9925-557
Description
Swift, deadly and affordable, Jackson® JS Series guitars take an epic leap forward, making it easier than ever to get classic Jackson tone, looks and playability without breaking the bank.
The JS Series Rhoads Ziricote JS42 features an offset angular mahogany body with zirocte top and a bolt-on caramelized maple speed neck with graphite-reinforcement rods for added stability against warping and scarf joint for reduced playing fatigue. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and black sharkfin inlays, the 12"-16" compound radius bound caramelized fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out.
Other features include dual Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets for volcanic tone, three-way pickup toggle switch, single volume and tone controls and a Jackson-branded Floyd Rose® double-locking tremolo bridge system for dynamic response and reliable tuning stability.
This sleek, angular axe is available in a new Natural finish with gold pickguard, black pointy headstock and gold hardware.
