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. This all-new Jackson American Series is the first made-in-Corona flagship product line for the brand.
The American Series Virtuoso comes equipped with all the essential features demanded by today's shredders. The model starts with an alder body featuring a contoured "hand-shake" heel to ensure comfort during longer sets. The five-piece multi-laminated caramelized maple neck is bolted-on with graphite-reinforcement rods that provide extra stability. The fast 12-16" compound radius streaked ebony fingerboard with rolled edges is built for riffing. Luminlay side dots ensure you always land on the right fret even on the darkest stages.
The Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 humbucking bridge pickup roars with hot-rodded attitude and a powerful low end, while the Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N neck pickup radiates with glassy treble tone and scooped mids that perform well across many genres. Other premium features include a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system, and Gotoh MG-T locking tuners for reliable tuning stability throughout daring and aggressive playing.
