The Virtuoso HT delivers an impressive combination through its build, which starts with an alder body featuring a contoured “hand - shake” heel to ensure ergonomic comfort during long sets.
Today, nearly one year after the launch of the American Series Virtuoso, Jackson guitars marks the next chapter in the brand’s investment in American-made guitars with the launch of the American Series Virtuoso HT guitar.
“The Virtuoso HT represents the next evolution of the American Series,” said Jon Romanowski, VicePresident of Product, Jackson guitars. “The Virtuoso HT features the Hipshot™ hard tail, allowing players to adjust tunings quickly, but its low profile allows players to palm mute and dig in like never before.

These models also feature Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 humbucking bridge pickup that roars with hot-rodded attitude, 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. We can’t wait to see metal players utilise the guitar in new and different ways!”The American Series Virtuoso HT honors the limitless creativity found in the metal genre, embodying the spirit of musical exploration. Thanks to an ambitious new generation of players, sub-genres are rapidly gaining momentum and the very fabric of metal has become fluid. Alongside this genre-wide refresh, metal has seen itself thrust into the forefront of popular music at large over the past decade—and Jackson has been there every step of the way.
Whether it was Gojira’s Christian Andreu performing at the 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony with a Jackson Rhoads in hand or Jackson guitars studding the stage during aSuper Bowl Halftime show, heavy metal no longer exists only on the fringes of culture. The Virtuoso HT continues to support a diverse range of musicians.
