    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.

      By the way, I'm pretty sure we are getting another Conquering Dystopia album. I remember posts from Keith saying that it was being worked on, and he and Jeff are still friends, it's just taking a really long time. Jeff and Keith both got tied up with other projects and bands.

    Nevermore are one of my all-time favourite bands too.
    I hope we get more original music from Jeff in future - he is an outstanding creative artist and while I do appreciate his role in Arch Enemy - his greatest gift is in composing original material as opposed to being just a hired shredder.

One of THE greatest metal players ever imho, up there with Jeff Waters, Chris Poland and a few others as absolute masters of their craft.
