Product information "Jackson JS Series Surfcaster JS22 HT Gloss Black"
The new JS Series JS22 Surfcaster is based on Jackson's iconic guitar shapes and offers incredible value for money, blending vintage appeal with thoroughly modern appointments for the ultimate modern metal machine - all at an entry-level price.
The slim offset poplar body and bolt-on maple neck provide a rock-solid foundation, while the bound amaranth fretboard with 12"-16" compound radius allows easy chording and fret-out-free soloing. 22 jumbo frets and Jackson's carefully carved neck heel instead of a neck plate ensure unhindered access to the highest registers.
The Surfcaster is full of attitude and fitted with powerful Jackson humbuckers that deliver the thick, fat distortion sound that established the Jackson image. On this six-string model a single volume and tone control make it easy to shape the sound. The Surfcaster also features a sturdy Jackson hardtail bridge for tuning stability and a perfect setup.
For over 40 years Jackson has pushed the boundaries of metal guitar design while keeping quality high and prices affordable. The new JS Series Surfcaster continues this tradition, offering incredible Jackson sound and playability at an entry-level price - the perfect way for aspiring shredders to begin their metal journey.

Jackson Guitars arose from Grover Jackson's takeover of the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape still available today and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was perfect: heavy metal enjoyed a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (sparked by Eddie Van Halen) was for so-called super- or powerstrats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST shape but fitted with more modern and stylistically appropriate components like humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forge of first-class, USA-built high-end custom instruments, seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the era. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East to offer their instruments in more affordable price ranges. Since 2002 both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
