Jackson Pro Series Signature Rob Cavestany Death Angel Electric Guitar - White

Few signature guitars trace their origins to a teenage sketch, but the Jackson Pro Series Signature Rob Cavestany Death Angel Electric Guitar does exactly that. Developed with Death Angel founder and lead guitarist Rob Cavestany, this signature model brings his custom-inspired X-shaped body design to a Pro Series instrument built for speed, sustain and aggressive metal performance. A nyatoh body, neck-through maple neck, 12"–16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard and active EMG pickup pairing give the Death Angel the fast feel and powerful response required for technical riffing and fluid lead work. Finished in Snow White, this guitar also includes a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo and Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons for demanding stage performance.

Custom Body Design With Neck-Through Construction

Inspired by a guitar shape Rob originally sketched as a teenager, the distinctive Death Angel body delivers an aggressive visual identity with exceptional upper-fret access. Its nyatoh body features a deep C-cut inner lower horn, while the through-body maple neck adds sustain and structural stability. Graphite reinforcement rods and a scarf joint further support tuning stability and long-term reliability, giving players a performance-focused foundation for fast rhythm work, extended lead passages and demanding live sets.

EMG Active Pickups for High-Gain Precision

The Death Angel is equipped with an EMG 81 bridge humbucker and EMG HA neck pickup for a focused range of modern electric guitar tones. The EMG 81 delivers searing intensity and fluid sustain for leads that cut through dense mixes, while the EMG HA neck pickup provides wide frequency response with clarity, warmth and harmonic detail. Controlled by a 3-way toggle switch and master volume knob, this streamlined electronics layout keeps the focus on fast access to essential sounds.

Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Fast Playing

A 12"–16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard gives the guitar a responsive feel across the full neck. The rounder lower-register radius supports comfortable chording, while the flatter upper-register radius helps facilitate bends and lead lines higher up the fingerboard. With 24 jumbo frets, pearloid sharkfin inlays and Luminlay side dots, the Death Angel is designed for precise navigation during technical passages and visibility on dark stages.

Floyd Rose Tremolo and Performance-Ready Hardware

A Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo gives the Death Angel the stability required for dive bombs, flutter effects and expressive vibrato techniques. The Floyd Rose locking nut works with Jackson sealed die-cast tuning machines to help maintain tuning under heavy tremolo use, while black hardware complements the guitar’s stripped-down, high-performance look. Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons add another layer of stage security for players who need their instrument to stay locked in through aggressive performances.
