The SC JS22 features a slightly shorter scale length (24.75") than most six-string guitars, with a mahogany body and a bolt-on maple neck reinforced with graphite and scarf joint. Designed for versatile playing, the rosewood fingerboard with a 12"-16" compound radius is curved for easy chord playing near the nut, and flattens out for blazing lead work without fret buzz during bends. The compensated, adjustable Jackson bridge perfectly matches the fingerboard radius for precise action and string spacing, while the anchored tailpiece ensures tuning stability across the neck.

High-output Jackson humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck positions deliver a clear tone with enough power for modern styles. The bright, articulate sound of the pickups is routed through a three-way switch along with individual volume and tone controls for versatile sound shaping that can cut through a dense mix and highlight your playing style.

About Jackson Guitars

Jackson began in the late 1970s, during a vibrant resurgence of heavy music that emphasized virtuosity. A small guitar repair shop in Southern California operated by Grover Jackson responded to the call with a new generation of high-performance custom guitars bearing Jackson’s name on the headstock. Since then, Jackson guitars have been universally acclaimed as the go-to brand for metal players.
