Pro Series Signature Rob Cavestany Death Angel
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.
In honor of his boundary pushing talents and decades of allegiance to Jackson we proudly present the all new Pro Series Signature Rob Cavestany Death Angel.
Cavestany 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 has played ever since.
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 inch to 16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard has 24 jumbo frets pearloid 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 Jackson dual locking strap buttons and a dive bomb certified Floyd Rose 1000 Series double locking tremolo bridge.
