Jackson Virtuoso USA 

Probably one of the best lead parts I've seen Ola play in the intro

Sometimes a company just nails the design of a head stock. The Jackson 6-in-a-line is so angular, and they made the logo so big; it's among my favorite head stock designs out there.

Shows how well respected ola is to be trusted to give a fair review of his competition.

"I have no idea what the guitar is going to look like." He opens to find a pink guitar coincidentally the same day he wears a pink shirt. Bravo.

That intro solo was a real tearjerker! Phenomenal playing Ola ❤

My goodness that intro tune you composed for this is fuckin phenomenal!

As the tester who set up this guitar I'm a little sad about the little hee hee but glad to see that the guitar made it safe and still plays great. I also enjoy the feel of the neck. Also these guys take 9s, but in my opinion 10s would feel better.

Dang it now I want a Jackson - this sounded killer! That shell pink is such a nice colour too! Jackson always pulling through with great guitars as usual!

Man, that is a killer guitar! I absolutely love jackson and what theyve been putting out lately

I love my Jackson guitar.. I like to look at my Fender Strat.. I like to play my Jackson.. Idk how people play the Fender neck... lol I didnt come out of my shell until my fingers wrapped around the Jackson neck, now in my house I feel like I play like whomever I want finally.. Ty Jackson, its time for me to upgrade to the Virtuoso ~ Thanks for the awesome video Ola

I've been a Jackson player since 1997. To my hands and ears, nothing plays and sounds more tight. I'm a fairly heavy-handed rhythm player (mostly 80s & 90s style metal), and I hate when the strings don't give me any player feedback. Jackson is the only brand I have tried that is consistent in that regard across all models and build levels. That all being said, this guitar sounds exactly how I expected it would! I have always been attracted to the Jackson alder body, maple neck, and Seymour Duncan combination. I foolishly exchanged all of my SDs for EMGs years ago, and I regret it. One of these days, I'll switch one Kelly back to SD, one Kelly to DiMarzio, and leave the Kelly that came stock with EMGs alone. That should provide me with a nice sonic pallette at my disposal. In various states of assembly, have a 4th Kelly, a RR24, and 2 Dinkys that I am still undecided as to which direction I'll go. There's so many pickup options out there these days. I sometimes experience option paralysis when trying to decide! Thank you for the review, Ola!

90s jacksons from Japan are amazing, wish I still had my fusion pro

That’s the best looking pink I’ve ever seen. Looks so clean. Very nice.

Bro your lead playing has gotten so much better over the years. Good stuff.

That's a beautiful guitar man! Really cool! Awesome tone! Love the offset dot inlays! No pickup rings, tthe trussrod acess is very cool too!

That is one tasty effing intro man. Man, I really was taken aback with how awesome that sounded.

That intro was absolutely beautiful man 👌🏻

That intro piece was amazing Ola!! Wow...

Jesus, Ola… I didn’t need to cry at the intro to a guitar review but here we are 😢 Amazing playing on this one!

That guitar is so sic! I love the color and classic jackson style combined! Killer killer looking guitar!

Jackson putting out some good stuff lately. I have been impressed with their USA line up!

Purrfect Presentation Ola..! Tack!

Holy hell how good was the intro!! I am following you for years now and every time you are getting better.

You nailed the specs dude!! Well done

Just played one and was blown away by the feel of the neck, and tight attack sound. Fukn awesome. Well impressed 🤘❤️🇦🇺

Dude... Ola that intro solo... It was beautiful my man. Cheers 🍻

That bend/release and back into the bend in the intro was sick. Jazzerfied melody, it was awesome

Nothing beats the feel of a well crafted Jackson

That intro solo was fucking awesome.

Crazy good sound thanks for the foam tip for the springs !!!!

Really awesome playing in the intro man

THE CUT AWAYS AND CONTOURS ARE KICKIN!!!! GREAT PLAYING!!!! SWEET EVH ELEPHANT SQWEEEEEEEL!!! can't wait for the next...VIDS!!!!!!!!! mitch from minnesota

My vintage 88 school bus yellow Jackson strat will never die. Stills shreds after all these years.

Bro love your channel! Thank you for your service sir! 🫡🖖🏼❤️‍🔥🙏🏼🤘🏼

Man, I can't believe how good that sounds.

Stunning!

Ola's lead chops just get better and better as time goes on Edit: I also think the pink is sick

Dude! Awesome solo intro!!

this is the best demo of this guitar on the internet

Dude that intro solo....holy shit. o_o

Wow, Ola! Beautiful solo work man! Tastefully played and with a nice amount of restrain. Sweet legato too! As for the guitar, I'm a sucker for shell pink. I have a satin shell pink Tele Deluxe.

That intro solo!🔥🔥🔥

I just bought 2 of the Jackson SL2H-V guitars. Hands down best guitars I've ever played in 27 years. Top mounted Floyd, volume knob moved down and back. Perfect guitars for the money.

Jackson is my go-to guitar since my dad bought me one for my Christmas/ graduation gift. I love the way the Jackson feels when I play. Right now I only own two. A Jackson JS32 DKA Transparent Red, and a Jackson JS32 King V White with Black Bevels.

Absolutely awesome ❤

Ola. that intro playing is awesome!

Solid Intro lad

That foam hack 🔥🔥🔥

Sick, dude! I like how you ended the performance with a nod to Dimebag 🤘

Man.. that pink. So awesome.

Awesome 🤘 Sounds great 🔥

Such a tasty intro bit Jesus 🎸🎸

i've had my Jackson Kelly since '98 . love it . Jackson for life \m/

I've been watching you for so long that I can hear in your playing when you like a guitar. Woohooo ❤️

Wow that was butter. nice intro!

Best lead you’ve done yet!

Hey Ola, love that Monty Python reference! Your solos are sounding awesome!

Damn! Nice demo dude! That intro tone and soaring lead is 🔥🔥🔥 I still cherish my U.S.A. Soloist from 04! Phenomenal guitar. As is my Solar baritone 29!! Kinda like that color…it’s like Pepto/Ivory.😂 not sure I could pull it off though! Well Done!

I love Jackson guitars!!!!! Especially the USA models and the USA custom shop models! Mike Shannon is a luthier God!!!👍😀🎸🤘

Daaaaaaaamn, you snapped on that intro, dude. Nice!

Petrucci's Guitar camp really did your soloing some wonders! That intro tune is fucking INCREDIBLE!!!!

Ola pretty much spot on guessing the spec! It is JB and 59 pickups! . Kinda weird Jackson haven't post in their website but most of the social media and reverb already have the informations about this guitar...

NEVER forget Ola is a lead guitarist in The Haunted

My best friend was one of the interns that helped make the marketing campaign for the virtuoso series it’s so surreal seeing it in action now

OLA that solo is beautiful

That was so cool, great video and demo.. You should do that more often where you have to guess the specs like that. Have a good day!

Damn that looks slick. Great playing too

You sir are of the craft

I love that Ola is so goofy and fun yet he's a serious player!

I would guess SH6 in the bridge and JB or 59 in the neck. Jackson uses those a lot. I’ve got a similar setup in one of my Gibson Les Pauls. Great pickups. They are perfect for giving just the right amount of aggression without coloring the sound too much. So you have a good flat starting point to dial in with your amp and pedals. Awesome pickups that can sound good for any type of music. They can crunch with the best of them and clean up nicely for other types of music. Always liked Jackson’s. I don’t currently have one, but I may get one of these.

Ola, these are the specs I found for the guitar. American Series DK Virtuoso, Streaked Ebony Fingerboard, Satin Shell Pink This great guitar weighs in at 8 pounds and these are actual photos of the one you will get. Born in Southern California in 1980, Jackson was the first brand to embrace the needs of hard rock and metal virtuosos by providing instruments with feature sets that catered to high-velocity playing. Jackson has continued to revolutionize its high-performance craft over the last 40 years, while dominating the metal landscape as the industry's leading shred machines. The all-new Jackson American Series is the next chapter in Jackson's storied legacy, marking the first made-in-Corona flagship product line for the brand. Designed to inspire players around the globe, the American Series Virtuoso™ comes equipped with all the essential features demanded by today's high-velocity players. The model starts with an alder body featuring a contoured "hand-shake" heel to ensure ergonomic comfort during long sets. The five-piece multi-laminated caramelized maple/maple neck is bolted-on with graphite-reinforcement rods that provide rock-solid stability all the way up to the 24th fret. The ultra-fast 12-16" compound radius streaked ebony fingerboard with rolled edges is built from the get-go for easy chording and riffing near the nut and speedy scale runs as you move up the neck. Luminlay® side dots ensure you always land on the right fret even on the darkest stages, while a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel allows for quick neck relief tweaks on the fly. The HH pickup configuration features a Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 humbucking bridge pickup that roars with hot-rodded attitude and a powerful low end, while the Seymour Duncan '59™ SH-1N neck pickup radiates with glassy treble tone and scooped mids that perform well across a multitude of genres. The intuitive control layout consists of a five-way blade switch, and dome-style knobs for volume and tone. Other premium features include a Floyd Rose® 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system for reliable tuning stability throughout daring and aggressive playing theatrics, Gotoh® MG-T locking tuners and Dunlop® dual-locking strap buttons. Designed with standout style in mind, the American Series Virtuoso™ comes in Mystic Blue, Satin Black, Satin Shell Pink or Specific Ocean with color matched, bound pointy headstocks and black hardware. FEATURES Alder body Bolt-on five-piece multi-laminated caramelized maple/maple neck with graphite-reinforcement rods 12"-16" compound radius streaked ebony fingerboard with rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets and offset mother of pearl dot inlays Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 bridge pickup and Seymour Duncan '59® SH-1N neck pickup Five-way blade pickup switch, single volume control and single tone control Floyd Rose® 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system Luminlay® side dots Heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel Dunlop® dual-locking strap buttons Gotoh® MG-T locking tuners Available in Mystic Blue, Satin Black, Satin Shell Pink and Specific Ocean with a color matched, bound Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock and black hardware Jackson Foam Core Case included

you could really hear the influence from a view from the top of the world in that intro solo

Rad shreds in the intro!!!

nice! great tune too!!

Great sounding pups

I love my Jackson JS32 all through neck modified with a Seymour Dimebag Humbucker at the bridge with a Seymour 59 on the neck ❤

Dude? Sweet! 🤘

Essa guitarra é linda e com timbre animal 🔥🔥🎸🎸

I can't get over how much they just straight up used the Charvel DK24 Pro body and stuck at Jackson neck on it. I have the 2018 DK24 and the body and heel contour and everything are exactly identical to this.

Very cool from Jackson. I was searching for one with mostly the same specs in an ivory colored body and shark fin inlays from Charvel but this looks cool too.

Intro solo is sick

I’m definitely hearing some Jeff look is inspired trills and bends 😊

For clarification, the Virtuoso is a Jackson American Series model and not a Jackson USA model. The production lines are different as well as the price point. Been playing Jackson's since 1994 and still have my first Jackson, a 1994 MIJ Dinky Reverse with the granite finish. Recently bought a new SL-3 from the American Series in slime green. Great guitar! Thank you Ola for your excellent content as always!

I'm a big fan of Jackson guitars !!!

That shell pink looks clean as hell 🥵

Dude, you just shredded like a MUTHA in the intro!!! holy shiiiiiit

Kickass...a Jackson fits you...I wish I had one.

The pink is really cool looking

checked the specs, you were pretty spot on man.

I agree with Nergal: A guitar can be any colour as long as it is black.

Your lead playing has gone really good!

Jackson is Jackson Fav Guitar

It's about time you played some legit shred lead, your always just so tasteful with leads and that's good always of course but yea, more than the norm for a change, representing the guitar too I guess is why you did that, whatever pretty soloing cool🔥🤘🏻

Nothing like a good Jackson 👌

Im usually not impressed by guitar solos but this one was really good! Really special with a lot of feel 👍🏻

always loved Jackson/Charvel!!!!!!!!!!!! have my black/silver crackle finish 475 Ltd Edition (active pickups and mid boost) since 1988 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it is one heavy guitar in weight and in sound !!!!!!!!!

Thanks Ola, great demo, That satin pink was gross in the 80s and its still not my fave decades later - but just my 2 bits. I would have liked to have seen the paint be eye searing loud bubble gum pink with a matching reverse headstock to truly nod the 80s shred, but it sounds and play nice at the end of the day. Little too pricey for my budget. Thanks for the vid.

I dig it. Kind of like shell pink also

I guess Jackson and Charvel have the combination of JB in and 59’s thrown in in their guitars forever. Not a bad thing, but I’m a EMG fan since 1987. Both my R1 and San Dimas-08 came with those.

Love Jackson always will 🎸🤘♾
