Jackson
Jackson Guitars, born from a desire to cater to the burgeoning heavy metal scene, quickly established itself as a premier manufacturer of high-performance instruments. Originally a line within Charvel Guitars, Jackson became an independent brand in the 1980s and is renowned for its aggressive aesthetics, lightning-fast necks, and robust construction designed to withstand the rigors of demanding performance. Their guitars are synonymous with shred and metal music.

Questions about Jackson
Where are Jackson instruments made?
