The Jackson USA Signature Gus G. San Dimas honors the prodigious guitarist with a custom-built axe that’s fit for a Greek metal god. Its alder San Dimas body provides a solid tonal base right from the start, while a duo of signature humbuckers injects your favorite high-gain amp with incredible authoritative muscle. Seriously ? this solidbody electric guitar sounds downright brutal. A graphite-reinforced maple neck and 24-fret, 12"-radius fretboard encourage fleet-fingered technique, while through-neck construction infuses every note you play with near-endless sustain. It’s also comfortable ? addictively comfortable. A Gotoh tremolo enables effortless twisting, bending, and diving, while die-cast locking tuners offer rock-solid tuning stability and super-quick string changes. The USA Signature Gus G. San Dimas includes a reverse licensed Fender Stratocaster headstock and aggressive-looking black hardware.

Titan humbuckers yield high-octane tones





The Jackson USA Signature Gus G. San Dimas's muscle comes from a pair of Gus G.’s signature Titan pickups. Built to Gus G.’s exacting standards, these passive humbuckers employ Alnico V magnets for a molten, hard-hitting sound that’s guaranteed to flatten everyone in the front row. When paired with the right high-gain amplifier, Titan humbuckers exhibit juiced mids that really kick you in the teeth. The guitarists at Sweetwater have found the USA Signature Gus G.

Top-shelf materials ensure top-shelf sound

No matter what you play, you’ll experience equal helpings of low, mid, and high frequencies ? a characteristic tone that’s at the center of some of the most celebrated electric guitar recordings of all time. The USA Signature Gus G. San Dimas includes a Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo for smooth, effortless twisting, bending, and diving and Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons to safeguard against unwanted axe droppage.
