Humbuckers and single coils. Adrian Smith's signature model uses both to get a full dynamic range for whatever you want to play. Tuned by Jackson to match Smith's high output energy, these pickups are searing hot, ready to deliver gain with maximum ferocity. In the bridge sits the mighty humbucker, it's warm, powerful and will roar out aggressive riffs with force. It's your key to the biting metal cut often found in Maiden and other's styles.
Apart from the humbucker, there's a middle position and neck position single coil to take advantage of. Crisp, sparkling and twangy, they're voiced with the fine chime of single coils. The neck position is rich with bassy low-end, bringing an even fatter tone to beef up your songs, or provide contrast to an often-sharp metal mix. Set them on clean channels and be amazed by their clarity...whether it's light jazz or doom metal, they'll give you the definition to be heard.
Shred like Smith. The fretboard is where the magic happens, and where your licks will shine. For a virtuoso player like Adrian, only the best will suffice. The Jackson SDX features a one-piece maple neck and freatboard that's smooth and luxurious to touch and is shaped with rolled edges for ultimate comfort. For speedy playing and effortless soloing that neck is built in a compound radius, so you've got easy chording near the headstock but a flatter surface higher up the surface for expressive leads. Combined with its jumbo fret size and you can pitch bend with ease.
There's times when normal pitch bends and vibratos just aren't enough, when they need to be elevated by the something extra. A licensed Floyd Rose tremolo is that something extra. It'll provide exhilarating dynamics, letting you divebomb like a meteor, or infuse tremulous vibes to your notes. What's more is the installed locking nut that'll keep your tuning pitch perfect during use. Jackson have given you every reason to inject some whammy madness into your vocabulary, so excite your audience!
