A Road Warrior Built for the Long Haul
For nearly two decades, Dave Davidson has spearheaded the triumvirate of Revocation’s technical, thrash, and death metal mélange, expanding their palette of punishment by incorporating 7-string guitars with the 2013 release of their self-titled album. The Jackson Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 is the culmination of everything before and since, conjuring myriad shades of metal malice, enamoring Sweetwater’s 7-string spell casters with its brutal barrage of binary breakdowns, raucous riffs, and deliverance of doom, all waiting to be conjured. Built with a fearsome nyatoh and maple foundation, this Warrior is outfitted to traverse the most tenacious tonal territory, wielding a dyad of debut DiMarzio signature Occult Classic pickups that deftly invoke aural incantations of voltaic varieties. With lightning-fast playability and attention-commanding looks, this Floyd Rose–equipped baritone brawler is poised to provide full-spectrum power via 24 frets that sprawl its fretboard’s compound radius.

Rugged roots: from Empire of the Obscene and beyond
No matter your style, solid foundations are essential to sound your best. Jackson’s luthiers built the Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 to support the furthest reaches of its extended baritone-scale, 7-string range. Its 1-piece, through-body construction anchors your tones to a maple core, a tonewood revered for its natural warmth and brightness, alongside shimmering character and articulate note-separating capabilities that keep every part voiced with vigor. Nyatoh wings augment this X-shaped axe’s base, amplifying the natural properties of maple, with a balanced profile that invokes prismatic harmonic depth and blossoming overtones. Up top, a maple compound-radius fretboard completes the WR7’s tonewood dyad, adding to the maple core’s natural note-separating qualities and ensuring every note is voiced with exacting precision, from chords and riffs to leads and licks.
Electronic incantations and DiMarzio signature-pickup power
In a rare dual-debut event, not only does this guitar mark the release of a well-deserved signature Jackson instrument, but it’s also been outfitted with Dave’s signature DiMarzio pickups that are finally ready to rip and roar across stages. These are the Occult Classics — a powerful pickup pair that supplies humbucker haymakers via ultra-high-output ceramic magnets, explicitly designed to accommodate the extended range of both the WR7’s 26.5-inch baritone scale and its 7-string design. The bridge-mounted iteration is a heavy hitter of low-end hex crafting, optimized for focused articulation that ensures complex chords, pulverizing riffs, and staccato-rhythm styles are voiced with precision, while its brawling lows remain powerful and present sans mud. The neck-mounted Occult Classic transmogrifies the sounds of DiMarzio’s Imperium neck pickup with aural augury that invokes full-bodied and well-rounded tones, shimmering with crystalline depth and smooth midrange sonics that are punchy, transparent, and evenly articulated, from clean tones to high-gain destruction.
Playability to reach The Outer Ones
With its mesmerism of multidimensional musical mana, Jackson’s luthiers sculpted the Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 to be as equally bewitching to bear as it is to behold. Its neck-through-body construction includes dedicated graphite-reinforcement rods, which — alongside its eye-catching reversed headstock — reduce weight and any penchant for pesky neck-diving tendencies. Moreover, these features collectively play an important role in increasing the dimensional stability of your sonic scepter, maximizing its resilience to warping, twisting, or further environmental impacts, resulting in a bona fide road warrior. The fretboard’s compound 12–16-inch radius hosts 24 hard-wearing jumbo frets and pearloid Piranha Tooth inlays — Jackson’s miniature model of its hallmark Sharkfin design — that strike an ideal balance between visual distinction and no-holds-barred individuality that befits a signature guitar. Methodical beveling and a spacious treble-side cutaway complement a near-seamless heel and oil-finished Jackson Speed Neck, crafted for speed, power, and precision that accommodates virtually any playing style, thriving in the tech-death-thrash triptych of Revocation’s menagerie of metal. A recessed Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo completes this guitar’s grimoire of glamor, unsealing the gates of whammy-bar wizardry that never wavers, even under the most enchantingly evocative expression.
