Jackson electric guitar

Jackson Guitars is a legendary brand in the world of heavy metal and hard rock. The brand was founded in San Dimas, California, as an offshoot of Charvel Guitar Repair when Grover Jackson took over and created the first 'Randy Rhoads' model. This specific model features the iconic pointed headstock and sharkfin inlays that define the Jackson aesthetic.

While high-end Jackson USA models are still handcrafted in California, the brand's more affordable series are manufactured across various locations including Mexico, South Korea, Indonesia, and China to reach different market segments. Since 2002, the brand has been a vital part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation family, benefiting from global distribution networks and advanced manufacturing techniques while retaining its specific focus on high-performance shred guitars.
