Charvel and Jackson, two of the most recognized names in high-performance guitars, have announced new signature models in collaboration with celebrated players Rick Graham and Phil Demmel. Both instruments reflect the distinctive playing styles of their namesakes while showcasing each brand’s attention to detail and design innovation.
A statement from the company discloses that the Charvel Rick Graham Signature Pro-Mod DK24 2PT MPL is built to “push the boundaries of modern guitar design, blending vintage aesthetics with cutting-edge performance.” The guitar features a distressed satin shell pink nitrocellulose finish, custom-wound Charvel pickups in an H/S/S configuration to capture Graham’s versatile tonal range, and a recessed Gotoh 510 bridge paired with Charvel locking tuners for tuning stability and precise intonation.
Meanwhile, the Jackson Pro Series Limited Edition Signature Phil Demmel KV King V offers a design tailored for modern metal. A statement from the company discloses that it is “a metal masterpiece engineered for explosive playing delivering the tone, playability, and attitude that modern metal demands.” Its specs include a 12”-16” compound radius bound ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, pearloid sharkfin inlays, and a Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking bridge. Equipped with EMG 81 and 60 humbuckers, the guitar delivers the aggressive attack and harmonic clarity demanded by high-gain players.
With these two releases, Charvel and Jackson continue their legacy of building instruments that meet the evolving needs of today’s guitarists—whether that’s Graham’s versatile approach or Demmel’s uncompromising metal sound.
