Jackson American Series Virtuoso, Streaked Ebony Fingerboard, Satin Black Jackson Guitars

The Jackson American Series Virtuoso in Satin Black is a testament to Jackson’s commitment to shred-worthy designs, dating back to its Southern California origins in 1980. As innovators at the vanguard of hard rock and metal’s sonic evolution, Jackson’s prowess in blending iconic design with high-end functionality shines brightly with this offering. Heralding from the esteemed American Series, it champions not just a design, but an ethos of precision and impeccable performance.

At its core, the guitar boasts a durable alder body, gracefully contoured with the distinctive “hand-shake” heel, epitomizing ergonomic brilliance and ensuring players’ comfort during long performance stints. The neck, an elegant fusion of 5-piece maple and caramelized maple, is reinforced with graphite rods, guaranteeing steadfastness even at the dizzying heights of the 24th fret. This stability is further complemented by a 12-16” streaked ebony fingerboard, facilitating both nuanced chording and lightning-fast solos.

Not to be outdone by its aesthetics and feel, under the hood, it’s a sonic powerhouse. The Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 at the bridge harmonizes beautifully with the ’59 SH-1N at the neck, providing a symphony of tonal variations from deep resonating lows to shimmering highs. The 5-way blade selector gives you pickup combinations for days.

Final touches like the Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo and Gotoh MG-T locking tuners aren’t just add-ons—they elevate the guitar to a realm where it’s not merely an instrument, but the physical embodiment of the past, present, and future of shred to come.
