HIGHLIGHTS
12"-16" COMPOUND RADIUS EBONY FINGERBOARD
Jackson pioneered the use of the innovative 12"-16" compound radius design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.
SEYMOUR DUNCAN® DISTORTION TB-6 HUMBUCKING (BRIDGE) AND SEYMOUR DUNCAN DISTORTION SH-6N (NECK)
The powerful TB-6 trembucker was built for the most aggressive of stylespunk, gothic, thrash, hard rock and heavy metal. Ideal for dropped tunings, this high-output pickup delivers punch and raw, distorted rock sounds. The SH-6 Distortion neck pickup is perfect for drivingor overdriving your amp's input, yielding a ton of crunch while maintaining clarity.
