This Bengal Tiger is a seriously mean machine built for players who demand high performance and a unique aesthetic. The combination of alder, ebony, and those classic Duncan pickups delivers a ferocious, articulate tone perfect for rock, metal, and anything in between. It's a premium-priced instrument best suited for experienced players who appreciate custom craftsmanship and a snarling personality.

Frequently Asked Questions

The relicing is purely cosmetic and shouldn't impact playability; the fretwork and setup are still to Custom Shop standards.
The 20mm/22mm neck profile is fairly standard for Jackson; it's a comfortable, shred-friendly shape, but players with very large hands might find it slightly thinner.
Nitro finish allows the wood to 'breathe' more, potentially opening up the tone with age, offering a slightly warmer and more resonant character as it matures.
