Jackson Pro Series Phil Demmel Signature Demmelition Fury PD Red Tide Fade
Product information "Jackson Pro Series Phil Demmel Signature Demmelition Fury PD Red Tide Fade"
Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head) has been given a cool signature model by Jackson. The Phil Demmel Demmelition Fury RTF is a classic metal axe with proper appointments. The one-piece maple/laurel neck runs through the mahogany body, and the obligatory Floyd Rose tremolo is of course on board. A set of proven EMG pickups provides the right punch.

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.

Wirklich schöne Gitarre, aber Tremolo und Verarbeitung dürftig (keine abgerundeten Bünde, extrem dicke Lackierung). Das Instrument hat massive Probleme bei der Stimmstabilität wohl auch wegen des günstigen "Special" Floyd Rose-Systems und musste somit leider zurück gehen. Schade, denn es ist eines der schönsten Explorer-Modelle, meiner Meinung nach.
