This guitar features a solid basswood body, maple neck and bound rosewood fingerboard with a bound headstock. Equipped with its original set of Jackson J-200 stacked humbuckers in the neck and middle positions and a Jackson J-50 humbucker in the bridge position. Controlled by 1 volume pot, 1 tone pot, 1 active Mid-Boost pot and a 5-way blade switch. The 25.5" scale length neck has mother of pearl sharkfin inlays and black side markers with 22 jumbo frets on a 16" radius with a speed profile.
