Find Out About Jackson Guitars

Jackson Guitars started in the guitar industry in the 70′s from a small guitar setup store located in Southern California. From then on, Jackson guitars have been a well known place to look for guitars, shredding axes, and other guitars.

In summer of 1979 Grover Jackson announced his hand made Charvel guitars at the NAMM show Atlanta, the guitar has made itself known to many heavy bands. Because of the companys name, Randy Rhoads, then guitarist of the Ozzy Osbourne band contacted Jackson in 1980 to get them to design him a new guitar.

Though this creation for Randy was later on rejected because of a new version with additional features that Rhodes himself suggested, this has not become an obstruction for Jackson Guitars popularity to boost in mid 80s.
