NAMM 2023: Jackson has expanded its artist signature series with a Pro Series Rhoads developed with and for Suicide Silence’s Mark Heylmun that comes strapped with everything you would need for writing and performed downtuned metal carnage.
As 7-string guitars go, they don’t get much more on-point for metal. Equipped with a pair of active Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, a shreddable 12” to 16” compound radius ebony fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets and a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking vibrato, with an extended 26.5” scale length, it is designed for downtuned chug, and the sort of high-performance craziness the 21st century metal player needs.
