Crafted to motivate musicians globally, the Jackson American Series Virtuoso 6 String Rocket Red Electric Guitar in Rocket Red is loaded with all the necessary features sought after by today’s high-energy players.

Founded in Southern California in 1980, Jackson was the pioneering brand that recognized the needs of hard rock and metal players by offering instruments tailored for high-speed play. Over the past four decades, Jackson has continued to innovate its high-performance instruments while firmly establishing itself as the leading brand in the metal genre. The new Jackson American Series represents the next chapter in the brand's illustrious history, marking its first flagship product line made in Corona. Additional premium features include a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system that ensures reliable tuning stability during bold and aggressive playing styles, along with Gotoh MG-T locking tuners and Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons. Built with a focus on striking aesthetics, it features color-matched, bound pointed headstocks and black hardware.

The 5-piece multi-laminated caramelized maple or maple neck that is bolted on with graphite-reinforcement rods guarantees strong stability all the way to the 24th fret. The ultra-fast 12-16 inch compound radius streaked ebony fingerboard, designed with rolled edges, makes chording and riffing near the nut easy while allowing for swift scale runs as you ascend the neck. Luminlay side dots ensure that you find the correct fret, even on dimly lit stages, while a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel permits quick adjustments to neck relief as needed.

The HH pickup configuration boasts a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 humbucking bridge pickup that delivers a fierce sound with a hot-rodded character and robust low end, while the Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N neck pickup produces a bright treble tone and scooped mids that are effective across numerous musical styles. The straightforward control layout features a five-way blade switch and dome-style knobs for volume and tone adjustments.
