The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Compound-radius fretboard optimized for both comfortable chording and effortless soloing. One of the fastest, slimmest neck profiles in the guitar industry. High-output humbuckers delivering tight, articulate distortion for aggressive music. Purpose-built for speed, precision, and technical playing since 1980.
The compound-radius fretboard is your best friend for legato runs - start with .009 gauge strings to build speed, then graduate to .010s once your fingers are comfortable. The fretboard rewards both chord shapes and solo runs equally.
Jackson and Ibanez guitars are purpose-built for players whose music demands speed and precision. The slim neck and compound-radius fretboard let your fingers fly without mechanical obstacles, while the high-output pickups deliver the tight, articulate distortion that rock and metal require. A serious instrument for serious musical ambition.

Poplar Body
Poplar is a softer wood that offers a meaty, resonant tone with a distinguished upper midrange tone quite similar to alder.Jackson HT6 String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge
The six-saddle hardtail bridge provides rock-solid tuning stability along with pinpoint intonation accuracy. The improved vibration transfer from a hardtail bridge also provides increased sustain and richer tone.
