About Mark Heylmun
Suicide Silence from Riverside, California, blend a potent mix of death metal, grind and metalcore into a sound like no other. Mark Heylmun, guitarist and one of the longest-serving members of the Californian progressive-deathcore titans, stands at the centre of this musical maelstrom, delivering hammering riffs and blazing leads. A big fan of the Jackson Offset-Rhoads shape, Mark worked closely with the Jackson Custom Shop to design and develop a modern version of this iconic model, which instantly became his favourite guitar.
Perfect for down-tuning and heavy riffs
The Mark Heylmun RR24-7 Rhoads signature has a 26.5" scale length, an ebony fretboard with a compound radius of 12"-16", 24 jumbo frets, a Nyatoh body and a through-neck maple with graphite reinforcement to protect against climate-related warping. This 7-string beast was built for extreme, low-tuned riffing and is fitted with Fishman Fluence Modern humbucking pickups that deliver the right heavy tone, allowing the player to switch between active and passive pickup modes. This model also features a three-way pickup selector switch, a volume control and the Floyd Rose 1000 Series 7-String Double-Locking Tremolo System, which provides rock-solid tuning stability even during the most aggressive dive-bombs.

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.
