A hero of thrash

The one and only. Jeff Hanneman needs no introduction. One of the titans of the thrash metal world, his brutally heavy riffs have conquered the world many times over. Having played in Slayer, one of the pioneer bands of thrash, his influence stretches far and wide, and his signature guitar represents this. Offering the real thrash experience, its playability is exceptional, and its sound is unashamedly brutal. With it, you can get the ultimate heavy sound without fail.

Bring the thunder

Slay them all. The crushing tones which EMG 81/85 pickups deliver are truly astounding. Boasting supremely high output which only active pickups can produce, they scream with raw energy and savage bite. The EMG 81 bridge position humbucker will give you all the crunchy mayhem you want. When you’re chugging those bottom strings, you'll hear pristine attack as well as the strong midrange and treble response in each note you play.

The EMMG 85 in the neck is no less powerful. Perfect for lead, it will make your notes scream with saturation. If you're shredding then you'll love how each note punches through with clarity, volume, and definition, as well as a truckload of sustain. With both these pickups sending your sound to the stratosphere and back, your riffs will be ablaze.

Playability for the pros

As sharp as a sword. The three piece maple neck rises out from the body like a tower. Built for fast, aggressive playing, you'll find your hand can soar along it without resistance, so fret changes will be incredibly swift. The neck-thru-body design offers even more note sustain, so your notes will scream as long as you desire.

A majestic macassar ebony fretboard offers even more exceptional playability. Smooth, dark, and dense, your fingers will fly across it. Along with the maple neck, it offers a bright resonance which perfectly complements high gain, distorted tones. With superior craftsmanship at your back, you'll be free to blaze across the fretboard with complete freedom.

Tight tremolo action

Immense capabilities. If you thought it ended with supreme tone and playability, think again. The cherry on this shred cake is the Kahler Hybrid tremolo bridge along with the locking nut, which forms the perfect tremolo system. You'll be able to add some violent vibrato into your riffs without losing your tuning, and divebombs will come naturally. Along with the deep, dark finish and stunning design, this guitar reins supreme.
