When it comes to modern metal, Revocation's Dave Davidson may be one of the most exciting guitarists out there. And he leans on his Jackson Pro Series Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 7-string to deliver the tone and playability he requires. The guitar's bold attitude is comprised of a maple neck-through construction with mahogany wings and a viscous-looking swamp ash top. You'll also find a set of flexible signature DiMarzio Imperium humbuckers and a genuine Floyd Rose that completes the package. The Pro Series Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 7-string may be the only guitar that can keep up with the Revocation frontman.

Stellar components and construction





What makes the Jackson WR7 the solidbody electric guitar of choice for Davidson? Start with the neck: oil-rubbed maple with a comfortable, fast carve, it's joined to an ebony compound radius fingerboard and optimized for your most technical passages. Davidson's Warrior WR7 is also designed with a killer and eye-catching look, providing a distinctive body shape while staying lightweight enough to play all night. And top-flight hardware, such as the Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo is another Jackson hallmark.

Dave Davidson signature DiMarzios





Loaded into the Jackson Pro Series Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 is a duet of the axeman's signature DiMarzio Imperium humbucking pickups. Because Davidson's guitar style spans a massive amount of tonal ground, he needs a pickup that can handle pulverizing, tight palm-muted passages, as well as an open quality when playing clean. Both the neck and bridge pickups are carefully tuned to work in this environment and balance well together. You'll also notice that they are immensely touch sensitive and clean up while rolling back the volume knob.





Weapon of choice





From Revocation's Dave Davidson to Def Leppard's Phil Collen, from Iron Maiden's Adrian Smith to Slipknot's Mick Thompson, some of the most formidable ax-slingers in rock continue to choose Jackson guitars to generate their signature fretboard fireworks. Jackson guitars are designed from the ground up for monster tone, amazing playability, and rock-solid reliability every time they take the stage or hit the studio. Of course, it doesn't hurt to look good, either. If you're looking for the reliability, tone, and feel your favorite player trusts, you want a Jackson.
