Frequently Asked Questions
The ash top adds a touch of brightness and airiness, preventing the basswood from sounding too muddy – it provides a subtle complexity.
Absolutely, the enclosed Jackson die-cast locking machine heads make string changes incredibly fast and secure, a huge plus for frequent tuners.
The transition from the wider 12 in radius at the nut to a flatter 16 in radius at the heel allows for easier chording and comfortable lead playing.
