Since first storming the Bay Area thrash metal scene in the early
‘80s, Death Angel evolved as one of the most influential and thriving
staples on the metal landscape, largely thanks to the extraordinary
fretwork and fast, complex arrangements from founder and lead
guitarist Rob Cavestany.
Cavestany’s wickedly offset X-shaped weapon of choice dates back
to a design he came up with as a teenager. Like his guitar hero,
Randy Rhoads, Cavestany sketched out his vision for an extreme
guitar shape on a napkin, and in 1989 that sketch became a reality
with a custom-built Jackson guitar that he’s played ever since.
Previously available only as a made-to-order signature model from
the Jackson Custom Shop, the Pro Series offering starts with a
nyatoh body, with a deep C-cut inner lower horn for unencumbered
access to the upper frets. The through-body maple neck features a
scarf joint and graphite-reinforcement rods for rock-solid stability and
enhanced sustain. Designed for furiously fast fretwork, the 12”-16”
compound radius rosewood fingerboard has 24 jumbo frets, black
sharkfin inlays and Luminlay® side dots.
A thunderous EMG® 81 humbucking bridge pickup delivers searing
intensity and fluid sustain for lead work that slices through the most
dense mixes, while the EMG HA neck pickup provides the widest
possible frequency response for clarity, warmth and a rich blend of
harmonics — ideal for everything from articulate chording to bright
single-coil snap.
Other features include a three-way toggle pickup switch, single
volume control, Dunlop® dual-locking strap buttons and a dive-bombcertified Floyd Rose® Special double-locking tremolo bridge.
This menacing signature model comes in a Satin Black finish with
black hardware, black neck and headstock binding, and pointed
black Jackson six-in-line headstock embossed with a black nickel
Jackson logo.
