Jackson Guitars

Jackson guitars are one of the top names in heavy rock and metal. They even played their part in the hair metal and shred scenes in the 1980s. Their first model was created when Randy Rhoads asked Grover Jackson to make a guitar for him based on the Gibson Flying V.

Jackson's distinctive electric guitar designs were a breath of fresh air for a new generation of guitarists who wanted to play faster and louder than anyone before. They are well known for their unique shapes suited to extremes players such as the Warrior, King V and Kelly. Models usually have high output pickups and flat fingerboards as well as locking tremolos. It's no coincidence that one of their guitar designs is called the Soloist! Jacksons series of guitars including the X Series, Dinky and more are all available in a wide variety of bold colours, including more unusual choices such as purple and green.

Many high profile guitarists use Jackson and have signature models which we stock. They also produce guitars designed specifically for younger players, such as the Minion. For the serious metal player, Jackson will have you covered!
