Jackson unleashes the all-new Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson Warrior WR7. Combining elements of thrash and death metal, this guitar was meticulously crafted for rapid-fire playing. Continuing its legacy of partnering with renowned artists, Jackson is excited to introduce this fierce signature Warrior model, built for full-throttle metal. For metal enthusiasts looking for a modern guitar to elevate their playing, the Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 unlocks unparalleled power and performance.
“What made me want to do a Pro Series version of the WR7s here was, I mean, I just got such a response from fans. Once the custom shops came out, everyone was talking about them. I’m just really stoked that they finally arrived,” said Dave Davidson on his new signature guitars. “Jackson really hit the sweet spot with these. How can you not want to play fast?”
Lead singer and guitarist of Revocation, Dave Davidson is known for exploring, pursuing, and blending genres like metal, fusion, rock, and jazz all into progressive metal. He helps push the boundaries as part of Revocation, a Boston-based progressive death metal band that was formed in 2006. In 2022, Revocation released their darkest and heaviest album yet, “Netherheaven.” Last month, Revocation released the single, “Confines of Infinity.” Revocation’s death metal style is embodied in the Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson Warrior WR7, allowing fans to dig deeper and unleash their heaviest riffs and tones yet.
The Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 is a 7-string guitar with an iconic warrior shape and 26.5” scale length nyatoh body and slick through-body maple neck. Crafted with the rigors of the road and metal playing in mind, the graphite-reinforced scarf joint provides unwavering stability. Additionally, its oiled back of the neck provides smooth and effortless riffing. The 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets adapts with ease, from comfortable chording by the nut to warp speed soloing up top.
Crafted in collaboration with Davidson, this guitar features signature DiMarzio® Occult Classic™ pickups for rich chord textures, of which Davidson is known for voicing. These pickups produce a versatile tone that smoothly responds to harmonics, from pounding tight lows to crystalline cleans. The Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson Warrior WR7 also features a Floyd Rose® 1000 Series 7-string double-locking tremolo bridge which dives, flutters, and provides rock-solid stability with superior sustain and shimmering tremolo motions. Lastly, the guitar wields a single tone control, single volume, and threeway toggle switch.
The Pro Series Signature Dave Davidson is available in two models: the WR7 MPL and E. The MPL is made from a maple fingerboard and has a Black Piranha Tooth (Small Sharkfin) position inlay. The E is made from an Ebony fingerboard and has a Pearloid Piranha Tooth (Small Sharkfin) position inlay. The MPL roars to life in Ferrari Yellow, while the E ignites fiery blaze in Ferrari Red.
“When Dave came to me with the idea for this guitar, he wanted something that matched the speed and precision of his playing – something that feels as fast and powerful like a hypercar!” said Peter Wichers, Product Development Manager of Jackson Guitars. “From finishes, to scale lengths, to pickups and curves, every detail of Dave’s new Signature Pro Series WR7s was designed to keep up with the breakneck pace of his playing. This isn’t just a guitar; it’s a high-performance machine built for speed, for those who live in the fast lane.”
