On His Jackson Gear

"Ever since I started playing at age 11, Jackson guitars were the goal. After my Strat copy, my second guitar was an entry level RR, and I've been with Jackson ever since. I love everything about these guitars. The sound, the feel, the look, the logo, the sharkfin inlays, the headstock and the history. Jackson truly is THE hard rock and heavy metal guitar brand!" -Ben Varon
