collapse expand iconDescription

The Jackson Pro Series Signature Rob Cavestany is the signature electric of the boundary-pushing guitarist known for his work with thrash metal band Death Angel. Since first storming the Bay Area scene in the early '80s, Death Angel evolved as one of the most influential and thriving staples on the metal landscape, largely thanks to Rob's complex arrangements and extraordinarily fast fretwork. 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 features 24 jumbo frets, black shark fin 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 an 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 bomb-certified 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.

    Is this available in Left Hand? Also is a Hard shell Case Included? This thing would kind of really need one.
