collapse expand iconDescription

Since 1980, Jackson has been synonymous with high-performance guitars designed for hard rock and metal virtuosos. The American Series Virtuoso HT electric guitar continues this legacy, offering the features and playability demanded by today's fast-playing musicians. With an alder body and a contoured "hand-shake" heel, this guitar ensures comfort and ease of play, even during the longest sets.

Innovative Neck and Fingerboard

The Virtuoso HT boasts a 5-piece laminated neck made from caramelized maple and maple, reinforced with graphite rods for unparalleled stability. The streaked ebony fingerboard has a 12-16" compound radius and rolled edges, providing smooth playability from the nut to the 24th fret. Luminlay side dots guide your fingers even on dimly lit stages, and the heel-mounted truss rod adjustment wheel allows for quick neck adjustments.

Versatile Seymour Duncan Pickups

Equipped with a powerful HH pickup configuration, the Virtuoso HT features a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 humbucker at the bridge, known for its hot-rodded tone and robust low end. The neck position houses a Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N, offering a clear treble and scooped mids perfect for various musical styles. The five-way blade switch and dome-style volume and tone knobs provide precise control over your sound.

Reliable Hardware for Performance

This guitar is designed for reliability with a Hipshot hardtail bridge ensuring stable tuning, Gotoh MG-T locking tuners for quick string changes, and Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons for secure performance. The Virtuoso HT is built to withstand the rigors of any live show or recording session.

The American Series Virtuoso HT in Mystic Blue is a top-tier instrument that offers high-speed playability, dynamic tone, and premium hardware. Whether you're a rising star or a seasoned professional, this guitar will elevate your performance and inspire your playing.
