Jackson Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 2 HH FR Alder Electric Guitar, 22 Frets, 4-Bolt Neck, Dark Rosewood Fingerboard, Black Dot Position Inlays, Metallic Black

With a space-age smooth finish over a classically-shaped alder body, this Pro-Mod from Jackson Guitars is truly a pro-level instrument. It features a set of Seymour Duncan humbucker pickups, on-body controls for volume and tone, and a graphite-reinforced maple 2pc neck.

Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal's chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

Body & Neck Construction
Although it's considered a very stiff wood, alder seems to strike a fine balance between projecting tone outward and absorbing/dampening things ever-so-slightly, making it an ideal material for building electric guitar bodies. The reinforced maple neck lends to additional stiffness, with graphite reinforcements running down the length.

Hardware & Accessories
Starting with the Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo bridge, this guitar's components are top-notch. The humbucker pickups are Seymour Duncan's JB TB4 and '59 SH1N, and they're controlled by control knobs and a tone switch. The pickups are splittable, for when you're after the single-coil sound. The tuning pegs are Charvel die-cast.

Design & Feel

With a body & neck shape that many guitarists are familiar with already, and components that add whatever excitement a classic shape might otherwise lack, the guitar plays how it looks--and it looks great.
