EMG 81/60 Pickups

One of the most popular EMG combinations, the 81 utilizes powerful ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils to deliver detailed intensity, cutting highs, and fluid sustain. The 60 complements it with a balanced output, offering thick, boosted mids, deep lows, and singing highs ideal for both crushing rhythms and expressive leads.

Mahogany Body

Constructed from solid mahogany, the body provides rich resonance, warmth, and sustain, making it perfect for high-gain tones and aggressive metal playing.

Three-Piece Through-Body Maple Neck with Graphite Reinforcement

This design enhances stability and sustenance while resisting warping. The graphite reinforcement ensures the neck remains strong and true even under heavy string tension.

12-inch to 16-inch Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard

The bound ebony fingerboard starts slightly round for comfortable chording near the nut and gradually flattens toward the upper frets for fast, precise soloing.

24 Jumbo Frets with Pearloid Sharkfin Inlays

Extra-large frets make bending and vibrato effortless, while the classic sharkfin inlays add a distinct Jackson aesthetic.

Floyd Rose 1000 Double-Locking Tremolo (Recessed)

Recessed for picking-hand comfort, this double-locking tremolo features zinc alloy saddles and a sustain block for enhanced tone and stability. It locks the strings at both the nut and bridge, maintaining perfect tuning through the most intense dive bombs and pull-ups.

Dual Volume Controls and 3-Way Toggle Switch

Provides precise control over each pickup, allowing players to shape and blend tones to suit their style.

Jackson Pointed 6-in-Line Headstock

The iconic Jackson headstock design offers a sleek look and straight string pull for consistent tuning performance.

Jackson Dual-Locking Strap Buttons

Keeps the instrument secure during live performances, preventing accidental drops even during the most energetic sets.

Black Hardware with Polka Dot Finish

Phil Demmel’s signature polka dot graphics paired with black hardware create a bold, aggressive aesthetic that stands out on any stage.
