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.

THROUGH-BODY MAPLE NECK CONSTRUCTION WITH GRAPHITE REINFORCEMENT
Neck-through-body construction has been a Jackson hallmark since 1980, allowing for greater playability comfort and enhanced sustain. Neck-through is a method of guitar construction which involves extending the piece of wood used for the neck through the entire length of the body. Graphite-reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road.12”-16” COMPOUND RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD
Jackson pioneered the use of the innovative 12"-16" compound radius design, in which the maple fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel. Maple also makes for bright and focused tone.| BODY | |
