Drawing from Jackson’s iconic shapes, the new JS Series JS22 Surfcaster™ delivers unbelievable value by blending vintage appeal with thoroughly modern appointments for the ultimate modern metal machine - all at an entry level price. The sleek offset poplar body and bolt-on maple neck provide a rock-solid foundation, while the 12”-16” compound radius bound amaranth fingerboard allows for easy chording and fret-out free soloing. 22 jumbo frets and Jackson’s meticulously carved neck heel instead of a neck plate to provide unfettered access to the highest registers. Oozing with attitude, the Surfcaster comes loaded with high-output Jackson humbuckers, ready to pump out the thick, saturated distortion tones that built the Jackson legacy. Simplicity reigns with a single volume and tone control on this six-string model. The Outcaster also comes equipped with a Jackson’s robust hardtail bridge to keep tuning stable and setup perfect. For over 40 years, Jackson has been pushing the boundaries of metal guitar design while keeping quality high and prices affordable. The new JS Series Surfcaster continues that tradition, offering unbelievable Jackson tone and playability at an entry level price - the perfect way for aspiring shredders to get started on their metal journey. Step into the fire and unleash your riffs with the JS Series JS22 Surfcaster from Jackson.
