The New Jackson Virtuoso HT!!!
Added 2024-09-09 19:38:44 +0000 UTCI’ve been saying it for a long time, the world NEEDS more hardtail shredders! The Virtuoso HT is everything I want and nothing I don’t. Seymour Duncan pickups , alder body, roasted maple neck with streaky ebony board, extremely thin and comfy neck, locking tuners, Luminlays, and made in the USA… I’m in heaven. The new Jackson American Series has REALLY blown me away!
Tone is the Virtuoso HT straight into the Bogner Uber Ultra. Absolutely insane amp, full video on that thing coming soon!

I have a virtuoso w/ the floyd. Just ordered the soloist HT. What makes you like the Virtuoso HT over the soloist? I was hoping the neck through would have a better feel. I have too many bolt on Jacksons. All my 90's Japanese Jacksons are bolt-on also.

2024-10-15 05:11:59 +0000 UTCFirst, I’d like to mention how great your lessons are, and like undoubtedly a thousand others, I’m very grateful to you for your dedication. I imagine you’ve been asked this question many times before: What string gauge do you typically use?

2024-10-13 10:03:07 +0000 UTCNice little jam you put together here. Just for this demo or something for the future?

2024-09-18 23:36:43 +0000 UTCI kid, that's like the noob starter Jackson

2024-09-10 13:55:27 +0000 UTCI would have stainless on every guitar if I could! It’s just better. But I play lightly with the left hand, so I’m not too hard on frets and don’t wear them down badly at all.

2024-09-10 13:04:26 +0000 UTCWhoa!!! That’s a streak of bad luck for sure.
Ben Eller
2024-09-10 13:03:43 +0000 UTCHmmm time will tell. That Satin and I are inseparable.
Ben Eller
2024-09-10 13:03:21 +0000 UTCHaven’t played one!
Ben Eller
2024-09-10 13:02:52 +0000 UTCMan it’s hard to say… possibly this one.
Ben Eller
2024-09-10 13:01:05 +0000 UTCYeah the first was a shell pink and the tip was bashed into splintering layers... it was bad... the second was a satin black and the tip of the binding was chipped... the third was also satin black... I almost sent it back as well... the headstock was perfect but the strings weren't aligned properly against the fretboard... I called my luthier and luckily he was able to walk me through the steps to fix it... turned out the string alignment was no big deal, so I kept the third

2024-09-10 12:49:59 +0000 UTCLooks gorgeous Ben. Any chance of teaching us what you were playing?? That solo was sick
Paul Wilde
2024-09-10 12:38:00 +0000 UTCGreat stuff Uncle Ben as usual. Suggestion for future lesson- could you please teach the solo you played here- from about 20sec into the video? It sounded awesome.

2024-09-10 00:46:30 +0000 UTCSo you pretty much have all of the USA Jackson's I think? Which one is your fav?
Gregg B.
2024-09-10 00:18:14 +0000 UTCnice Jackson, just got a Charvel ProMod DK24 walnut, with two señor duncan humbuckers, locking tuners, fixed bridge. Kind of the same thing.

2024-09-10 00:02:13 +0000 UTCHow does it compare to a Jackson Dinky JS22 XD
Jake Raymor
2024-09-09 23:22:48 +0000 UTCDaaaang, as one who graduated high school in 1985, that sound is the shizzzat, brother!! Almost makes me want a new guitar 🤔 …k, almost isn’t even close…
Tom Miller
2024-09-09 21:48:59 +0000 UTCProbably nickel. If it were Stainless Steel they for sure would have boasted about it.
Tim Reese
2024-09-09 21:24:02 +0000 UTCWOW
Thomas Cooke
2024-09-09 21:06:00 +0000 UTCYou can get the virtuosos with the Floyd online on the Jackson website https://www.jacksonguitars.com/en-US/guitars/american-series/american-series-virtuoso/2802401868.html
Jason
2024-09-09 21:01:15 +0000 UTCWhat was the issue? Cracked?
Jason
2024-09-09 20:59:19 +0000 UTCWhat are the frets made from? The website doesn’t specify which makes me think they might be nickel and not stainless.
Jason
2024-09-09 20:58:31 +0000 UTCI am a 100% hardtail supporter, but it does look like you are reaching for the trem around 0:20 ;)
Johan Alexandersson
2024-09-09 20:42:21 +0000 UTCThanks for finally giving us the knees lesson! 😏 Is this guit a rival to your Suhr modern satin? 🤔
Darren Bruestle
2024-09-09 20:22:43 +0000 UTCSounds so so good. Didn't you recently get the American Soloist HT as well? Aside from different pickups, is neck-thru vs bolt-on the main difference? How do they compare to you? And is the Soloist worth the extra $500-ish?
Tor
2024-09-09 20:18:01 +0000 UTCMaking me wanna buy a new guitar
Keith Fine
2024-09-09 20:16:32 +0000 UTCAlso if you do get one, check the headstocks carefully, I had to send two of em back
Michael Nicolay
2024-09-09 20:12:40 +0000 UTCMusician's Friend has the trem versions on sale right now FYI...
Michael Nicolay
2024-09-09 20:10:19 +0000 UTCWhat a beaut! Ben, what's your stance on stainless steel frets vs. not? (Assuming this guitar has nickel frets.) Much of factor in your enjoyment of a guitar?
Troy DeJongh
2024-09-09 20:05:31 +0000 UTCits heaven. I flip between standard and drop too often for trems most of the time!
Ben Eller
2024-09-09 19:56:46 +0000 UTCDrop D indeed!!!
Ben Eller
2024-09-09 19:56:26 +0000 UTCImagine, tuning to drop D without having to reset the whole fucking guitar...
Shahar Bar
2024-09-09 19:48:35 +0000 UTCSounds fab but no Floyd Rose? 🤔 was that rockin’ track in drop D as it sounds chunkily rifftastic?
Andy Funnell
2024-09-09 19:48:32 +0000 UTCSounds really hot! Enjoy!
Ernie Atella
2024-09-09 19:45:35 +0000 UTCOutSTANDing. The stairmaster really did that Jackson right.
