Jackson Custom Shop has introduced its new MEGADETH’s Chris Broderick signature guitar model in January.
Broderick himself worked with Custom shop master craftsmen to create a distinctive guitar based on a classic Jackson design.
A video had been posted online of Boderick viewing the finished product for the first time, the Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist, and then he takes viewers through all of the specs. Watch the video below:
Megadeth are currently recording their 13th album with Johnny K, who has worked with the likes of DISTURBED, 3 DOORS DOWN and FINGER ELEVEN. Writing/arranging, drum tracking, guitars and solos commenced this month at the band's own Vic's Garage in San Marcos, CA with most of the process expected to be completed before Megadeth tours this summer as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with Disturbed and GODSMACK. The album is expected to surface in the fall via Roadrunner Records.
When asked about the new material, Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine told BraveWords.com: "I’ve never set out to do a record and wanted it to be like, ‘it needs to be fast’ or ‘it needs to be faster than the last record’ or ‘it can’t be fast. It needs to be slow and heavy’ or ‘you’ve never done a concept record – what the hell is wrong with you? Why not do that?’ For me, music is music. It’s like when you put seeds into the ground. You never really know what’s going to break the surface. I still love the serendipity of making a song and not knowing what’s going to happen. You know Shawn Drover, a fellow countryman of yours and amazing drummer who is mind-blowingly good, just left today. We just finished the last track.”
The new Megadeth song, 'Never Dead', is featured in the trailer below for the new NeverDead fantasy action game:
