General

To create the Christian Andreu USA Signature Rhoads in Satin Black, Jackson collaborated with the Gojira lead guitarist himself. When it comes to his guitars, Andreu demands nothing but the best. With a heavy dose of sustain, he intends to make the earth shake on its foundations! No wonder his signature guitar was fashioned with a Custom Charvel MFB humbucker. Andreu calls this Jackson Rhoads model 'The Dragon,' referring to the remarkable Gojira Dragon graphic on the matte black body. Grey bevels and a special inlay at the twelfth fret complete the picture. This eye-catching electric guitar comes with a case.

Christian Andreu USA Signature Rhoads: optimal playing comfort

This American Jackson was designed to perform. Its body and neck are joined by means of a neck-through construction, and both are made of mahogany, ensuring a rich sound with a solid low end. The MFB humbucker makes this Gojira Dragon breathe fire, spitting out razor-sharp trebles. Like all of Jackson's top models, the Christian Andreu USA Signature Rhoads features a compound fretboard radius.

Gojira: monster metal

Gojira is a metal band from France with an impressive service record. They've been making music since 1996, gracing many stages world-wide. Labelling Gojira's music isn't easy, as the band mix various styles, encompassing anything from technical death metal to more progressive genres. Legendary acts like Sepultura, Meshuggah and even Tool are obvious influences. Originally, the band started out as Godzilla, but due to copyright laws, they were forced to change their name to the rōmaji spelling of the Japanese monster's name, Gojira.
