The best pickups. The best hardware. The best inlay work, binding and bevels. The best finishes and graphics, from the elegant to the insane. All your call, and all to create your ultimate Jackson guitar.

MADE WITH

THE BEST COMPONENTS

Custom Select models feature compound-radius fingerboards. Jackson pioneered the use of this innovative design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal articulation and bending nearer the heel.

USA RR1 RANDY RHOADS

EBONY FRETBOARD, BLACK

#2803060803

The Randy Rhoads model is the instrument that started it all. Born in 1980 from a napkin sketch drawn by the late, great guitarist, the Rhoads is one of the most revered and recognized shapes in hard-rock and heavy-metal history. It’s so highly regarded by the metal-loving masses that in 2006 it was voted “Legendary Guitar” in Guitar World magazine’s 25th-anniversary reader poll. Like Rhoads himself, this sleek instrument is both peerless and untouchable.

 

Alder body, quartersawn Eastern hard rock maple neck-thru-body, compound-radius ebony fingerboard, Seymour Duncan® humbucking pickups, Floyd Rose® Original tremolo, black hardware (flame maple top and chrome hardware on trans finishes).

USA WR1 WARRIOR™

EBONY FRETBOARD, BLACK

#2803080803

In late 1989 Jackson introduced an outlandish and brutal-looking body design—the aptly named Warrior. Created with a dark new breed of artist in mind, it was designed as a vicious new weapon with smartly savage styling. In fact, a close look at the X-shaped Warrior reveals the method behind the madness: Every angle resembles the distinctive Jackson headstock.

 

Alder body, quartersawn Eastern hard rock maple neck-thru-body, compound-radius ebony fingerboard, Seymour Duncan® humbucking pickups, Floyd Rose® Original tremolo, black hardware (flame maple top and chrome hardware on trans finishes).
