Ride the Wave of This Out-of-time Offset

Jackson’s Surfcaster body reimagines 6-string roots that include and extend beyond the company’s shred-heavy heritage, resulting in a modern-minded performance powerhouse. This Jackson X Series Surfcasterr HT6 is no exception, comprising poplar, maple, and laurel tonewoods that are masterfully contoured to feature a bound compound-radius fretboard, Jackson Speed Neck profile, and eye-grabbing 3-by-3 headstock. A deliverance of dynamism abounds from the dyad of Jackson High-Output humbuckers, bringing these foundational tones to life and impressing Sweetwater’s touring guitarists with their ability to traverse broad swaths of sonic terrain yet thrive in high-gain sonic setups. With 24 jumbo-sized frets sprawling a 25.5-inch scale, bookended by rock-solid Jackson-built hardware, this hardtail-wearing X Series Surfcaster HT6 is the ultimate tour-grade sleeper shredder.

Crafted for powerful performances

At its foundation, the Jackson X Series Surfcaster HT6 comprises a poplar body, a maple neck, and a laurel fretboard, collectively anchoring your tones in a resonant mix of punchy mids, singing trebles, presence-filled lows, and a full-spectrum brightness. The superlative note-separating qualities of its maple neck ensure chords, leads, riffs, and licks are voiced with power and precision. The Surfcaster’s bound, sonorous laurel fretboard elicits enduring sustain, vibrant full-spectrum brilliance, and overtone-rich sonics that blossom with every note. The adaptability of the fretboard’s compound radius, combined with the Jackson Speed Neck profile, allows players of nearly any style to access every note with ease. These features enhance speed, precision, and accuracy, making this guitar suitable for a wide range of performance preferences.

High-octane humbucking heat, designed by Jackson

Jackson’s X Series Surfcaster HT6 was built with diversity in mind, emphasizing scorching sonics and heavy-duty playability. Bringing its tonewood foundations to life, dual Jackson-designed high-output humbucking pickups supply searing sound that honors Jackson’s legendary roots — robust, harmonic-rich, and teeming with clarity that won’t give out as you crank up the gain and saturation of your distortion. Its hardtail bridge and die-cast tuners — each crafted by Jackson — bookend the axe’s 25.5-inch scale, while rugged dome-style knobs and a 3-way pickup selector offers satisfying tactility that makes instant tone crafting a breeze.

Jackson X Series Surfcaster HT6 Features:

  • Offset axe distills hallmark Jackson design and hard-rocking spirit into an instrument for any beginning or seasoned player
  • Poplar body anchors sound in a balanced blend of powerful mids, robust basses, and crystalline trebles
  • Maple neck imbues tones with bright, full-spectrum warmth, for excellent note separation and articulation
  • Bound 24-fret laurel fingerboard supports seamless playing, rich sustain, and shimmering overtones
  • 2 Jackson-designed high-output humbuckers supply serious heat that maintains presence at high-gain settings, with saturated distortion
  • Textured dome-style Volume and Tone knobs are joined by a 3-way pickup selector, for detailed sonic contouring
  • Speed Neck profile and compound 12–16-in. fretboard radius accommodate virtually any player with precision, power, and solid in-hand heft
  • Jackson sealed die-cast tuners and hardtail bridge keep sounds buzz-free and in tune across its 25.5-in. scale
