About 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jackson

Jackson guitars are primarily manufactured in both the USA (Custom Shop and Select Series) and Indonesia (Pro and Affinity Series), offering a range of quality and price points.

While Jackson guitars are excellent instruments, the often-thin neck profiles and aggressive designs may be better suited for players with some experience.

USA models feature higher-grade materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and often more premium hardware, while the Affinity series provides a more accessible entry point with a focus on value.
