About Jackson:
Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines-highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal’s chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

He deserves a signature model. Instant buy.

[@allania277]

We want Olavi’s signature for sale now!

[@ertus306]

Finally some Olavi content on the Jackson channel :)

[@ertus306]

PLease more Olavi \m/

[@MrJingles021]

One of my favorite guitarists. Not flashy, but he has always had great tones and melodies. I bought an Explorer style guitar and put it in B standard because of him.

[@chasethecolors]

I genuinely think he writes some of the best melodies in melodic death metal. It’s a skill to write such catchy riffs, separate from just super flashy playing.

[@Metalviking18]

He's the main reason why I love the explorer guitar shapes also

[@JamesCF1985]

That guitar needs to be a signature model right now

[@novalechuck7498]

that guitar should released for us...instant buy ( but in B Standard ) 😍😍😍

[@JacobNates]

Give this man a signature guitar ❤

[@adaljo84]

Way overdue!

[@zipchtkdn7804]

No.....

[@garethtudor836]

I've just started learning guitar (from scratch, after many decades...), and I would DEFINITELY buy one

[@rifficide]

So very awesome to see Olavi demonstrating and talking about riffs. You had him in a room with that guitar and we only get a minute and 48 seconds? Come on, surely he played more than this. Would love to see an hour or so of this kind of content. Also, love that guitar so much. That graphic and those inlays are just perfect. More Amon Amarth please. \m/ (>_

[@mikejackson6209]

Thanks Olavi!! Keep cranking out awesome riffs on your Jackson guitars

[@AnnSM11]

Evil guitar!!!

[@CasualInventor]

I love the runic fret markers: A, A, A, A, A, A, A ...

[@vittoriorondino3236]

Thanx Jackson and thanx Olavi for your video! 🤟🏻

[@DB-uf6md]

[@wannabikkit]

One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands.

[@Marcelo.Silva.]

[@stephanmeyer8821]

[@5PLA5H]

This axe looks just awesome! 🔥🔥🔥

[@DavidRodriguez-xh8wt]

[@MetalHippie83]

That guitar was amazing to see in person, I need it now and will give all my money (and my kids)

[@ArticLight14]

That dude plows those strings with his pick

[@RahduDrahkqul75]

Killer riff 🎸👍🎵🎶 Nice Obituary t-shirt Olavi 🤘

[@oldfriend327]

Wow, that is a very cool take on the "EX" style of bodies. Any way we can get that model in two humbuckers? Just don't tell any of the folks at Gibson, seriously. I would like to buy one of those some day.

[@IleniaCore]

As I said to him in person at berserker preview in Germany… he need a signature guitar!

[@mikeintampa250]

Both versions sound great. Nice shirt, you are great!

[@phillippitts6294]

Bought myself RRT for Christmas! Long live Jackson!

[@joachimtesdal5998]

[@M.C.R.SYNTRN]

Any plans to do a kelly or king V shaped rainbow crackle?? Or 7 string

[@richardaaron4454]

I’ve always wanted a nice King V, it’s one of the few Jackson bodies that I haven’t owned.

[@norbertjanz3938]

The thrashy version sounds cool too

[@iskandarchiptoh502]

Single pickup guitar Rulez!

[@shaungray55]

His Jackson custom shop guitar is so fucking sick!

[@wrenchhead6840]

His explorer sounded pretty great too…. And im not a gibson guy by any means….. STOCK explorer.

[@suedemutant8196]

Three beat = played with triplet feel 🙂

[@froggy1333]

A sig guitar would be hella nice

[@thatjacksondude858]

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

What happened to good old Amon Amarth riffs. They were riff machines until 2004.

[@HardbrasH1]

Pfff, their best albums and riffs all became after 2004
