Searing Di'marzio pickups
Unrelenting aggression. This is what the Caggiano-approved DiMarzio pickups are designed to give. Wound to give a fiery high-output tone but still with a wide dynamic range, these pickups will give you distortion dynamite. Married with a 5-way selector, there's tonnes of tonal possibilities open to you.
The bridge humbucker emits a full-bodied truckload of tone with each note, and still possesses a honed edge to cut through with clearly defined high-ends. Your lead playing will have extra textural depth in this position, but so will your clean riffs and chords. The custom DiMarzio construction allows for softer picking to evoke gentler timbres, allowing for excellent versatility in both positions. For the neck, Caggiano has chosen an Air Norton humbucker. Warm, with plenty of depth without becoming muddy, the enhanced bass response combines with improved sustain from the magnetic structure of this pickup.
Swift shredding from a fast neck and fingerboard
Let rips with your best riffs and electrifying solos. The Shadowcaster's maple neck has been carved in a thin speed profile to give your fingers the easiest and smoothest transitions. Skate around the board thanks the oiled neck finish, allowing you to jump from the bottom frets straight to the top at lightning speed.
In addition to its swift action, the ebony fingerboard also offers superb response and a luxurious, soft feel. And with jumbo frets, you'll be able to pitch bend and vibrato effortlessly, embellishing your exhilarating solos. Finally, a thoughtful cutaway design gives your ample room at the high frets for when you need that soaring pitch.
Unique shape with premium hardware
It sounds fierce. It looks unique. Rob Caggiano's flair and metal bombast is encapsulated in the Shadowcaster's flavourful design. Its quirky and individualistic look will keep all eyes on you, while its potent sonics will certainly keep all ears on you! With a rounded, curved shaping that's unusual for a metal focused instrument, the Caggiano Shadowcaster RC stands out from a crowd of angular, aggressively spiked guitars.
Such a mellow form belies the rock ferocity contained within the Shadowcaster RC and makes it a guitar that'll fit in at gigs of a different genre where other metal inspired axes may stick out. Jackson have provided a striking Tune-O-Matic style adjustable bridge with an anchored tailpiece, to ensure accurate intonation and tuning stability across the ranges no matter the genre you're playing.
