About Scott Ian
Scott Ian from Queens, New York was still a teenager in 1981 when he together with his friends Neil Turbin and former Overkill guitarist Dan Spitz founded Anthrax. The group literally began following the bosses of the independent metal label Megaforce Records, Johnny and Marsha Zazula, around town. Eventually the couple signed the band and began promoting them. With their third album, Anthrax signed with Island Records and gained a cult following.
Together with Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer Anthrax redefined the metal genre in the 1980s by combining the speed and fury of hardcore punk with the distinctive guitars and vocals of heavy metal, thereby creating a new subgenre. These influential bands, referred to as the Big Four, made speed and thrash metal famous.
As songwriter, rhythm guitarist and the only remaining founding member in the band's more than 35-year career, Ian is the driving force behind the Grammy-nominated and platinum-certified band, which, with ongoing releases and worldwide tours, remains a mainstay in the metal world.

The electric guitars of the X series impress with pure Jackson DNA !
The models from the X series are often the first contact with the Jackson universe for many aspiring guitarists. Hardly surprising, because the electric guitars are available in different versions , each with different shapes , features and colors to satisfy the different needs of the players.
Jackson guitars are particularly popular with heavy metal and hard rock guitarists. They appreciate the models from the X series for their aggressive design and high-performance features . Some of the features that can be found on many models in the Jackson X series include the slim neck shape and the flat fretboard radius . Both features ensure comfortable handling and make it easier to play fast riffs and technical solos. High-quality humbucker and single-coil pickup are responsible for a powerful output , while a stable bridge ensures tuning stability and sustain.
Whether it should be a powerful Dinky or more of a metal Monster in the form of Warrior , Rhoads or King is up to personal taste.
Jackson Guitars was created when Grover Jackson took over the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with the then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape, which is still available today, and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was just right because heavy metal was experiencing a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (started by Eddie Van Halen) was so-called super or power strats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST form , but are equipped with more modern and stylistically more suitable components such as humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forger of premium, American-built, high-end custom instruments that could be seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the time. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East in order to be able to offer their instruments in cheaper areas. Since 2002, both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
