X Series Surfcaster SC HT7
Drawing from Jackson's iconic shapes, the new X Series Surfcaster™ blends vintage appeal with thoroughly modern appointments for the ultimate modern metal machine. The sleek offset poplar body and bolt-on maple neck provide a rock-solid foundation, while the 12”-16” compound radius bound laurel fingerboard with pearloid sharkfins allows for easy chording and fret-out free soloing. 24 jumbo frets and Jackson's meticulously crafted neck heel provide unfettered access to the highest registers. Oozing with attitude, the Surfcaster comes loaded with a high-output Jackson bridge humbucker, ready to pump out the thick, saturated distortion tones that built the Jackson legacy. Simplicity reigns with a single volume control on this seven-string model. The Surfcaster also comes equipped with a Jackson's robust hardtail bridge to keep tuning stable and setup perfect. Jackson has been pushing the boundaries of metal guitar design for over 40 years. The new X Series Surfcaster answers the prayers of modern metalheads, continuing the evolution with a sleek new take on this classic metal machine. Step into the fire and unleash your riffs with the X Series Surfcaster from Jackson.
