Description
Jackson has been the go-to name for hard rock and metal players since 1980, and the American Series Virtuoso represents the brand’s first made-in-Corona flagship line. It’s a guitar engineered around speed, precision, and the physical demands of high-velocity playing, wrapped in a satin black finish that keeps things stealthy on stage.
The alder body features a contoured “hand-shake” heel, letting your hand glide into the upper frets without fighting the joint during those late-set solos. That comfort carries through to the bolt-on five-piece caramelized maple/maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods for stability under aggressive playing and string bending.
Up top, a 12″-16″ compound radius streaked ebony fingerboard with rolled edges gives you comfortable open chords near the nut and effortless shredding higher up, aided by 24 jumbo frets and offset mother of pearl dot inlays. A heel-mount truss rod wheel means quick adjustments without pulling the neck.
