Jackson USA Gus G San Dimas Signature, Candy Apple Red

Full Description

Fire and fury

No two words could better describe the USA Gus G San Dimas Signature. Working closely with the Firewind songsmith himself, Jackson have crafted an axe that is deserving of god-like status for its heavy tone alone. This is the ultimate balance of good looks and gritty attitude.

The Gus G San Dimas gets its monstrous character from two signature high output humbuckers built to the virtuoso’s exact specifications. Both Titan pickups deliver a powerful midrange boost that’s perfect for crunchy rhythm and screaming leads. Alongside well-balanced timbre, you’ll find nuanced expression and rich harmonics that respond perfectly to pick attack and dynamics. You’ll be playing with as much swagger as Gus G himself.

Harness versatile tonal power from a 3-blade switch toggle and alnico 5 magnets. Each element works in harmony to bring true metal tone to your fingertips. Up high, you’ll find glassy tops that cut through any mix. And down low you’ll feel bottoms so fierce your knees will shake. Whatever style you play, this axe has something for everyone.

Shred like the prince of darkness

When you’re riffing as fast as Gus G, you need a neck that is built for speed. Thankfully, Jackson knows how to deliver. The USA San Dimas comes fully equipped with a maple neck, reinforced with graphite to ensure flawless shape and stability. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, nothing will get in the way of your fierce licks.

Finger positioning is easy thanks to a 12” compound radius and 24 jumbo frets. Both features bring colossal tone to the party, whilst giving you enough comfort to play all night long. And with a deep cutaway from the San Dimas design, you have unlimited access to the upper register, too.

The neck features a satin finish, helping to keep playing smooth when you’re riffing up and down each note. Whether you’re getting fancy on a tasty lead or chugging down on big chords, the maple fretboard is a blank canvas ready to be painted with new, heavy licks. Rock and metal just got a new guitar hero.

Take your riffs to another dimension

The USA Gus G San Dimas Signature was built with the modern guitarist in mind. That’s why it comes with a secret weapon to help you take flight, and rain down fire from above. Soar and dive on a custom 510 bridge with dynamic tremolo arm. Whether you’re going for subtle vibrato or wailing dive bombs, you’ve got everything you need for dynamic modulation.

The tremolo arm has been precision engineered for smooth, dynamic playing. Jackson have spent countless hours perfecting the technology to bring you a playing experience like no other. And with plenty of expression available, you’ll take your riffs to the next level.

And thanks to the rigid bridge design, you’ll never fly too close to the sun. Its solid construction keeps your strings in check, so you won’t find yourself playing out of key, even after stratospheric lead lines.

It’s the small details that matter

With their flagship signature model, Jackson have pulled out all the stops. The USA brings that touch of finesse to heavy, distorted playing. Everything on this axe contributes to its unrivalled tone, giving you a playing experience like no other.

Flawless tone, always. The USA model has a secret weapon that brings sustain and stability to the table. At the top of the neck, a Graph Tech nut takes care of your strings, preventing slippages mid performance. Whether you’re gigging your local circuit or taking your show on the road, you’ll hear each string with high-definition detail – and so will your audience.

Tuning stability is key for all guitars. That’s why Jackson have gone that step further to ensure that your guitar sounds great, even after hours of playing. The USA model boasts Sperzel locking tuners for quick and easy string changes and faultless pitch accuracy. That’s godlike stamina, worthy of a true metal slayer.
