CKY/WORLD UNDER BLOOD Guitarist Deron Miller Inks Deal With Jackson Guitars; Ends 12-Year Sponsorship With Parker
November 3, 2011, 13 years ago
CKY/WORLD UNDER BLOOD guitarist/vocalist, Deron Miller, has inked a new sponsorship deal with Jackson Guitars, ending a more than decade long relationship with previous sponsor, Parker Guitars.
Miller joins an all-star roster of Jackson artists, which includes the likes of Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Dave Ellefson (MEGADETH), Mark Morton (LAMB OF GOD) and more.
“After twelve years of my uphill battle with Parker - which were guitars that I really did enjoy playing - I decided it was time for a change,” said Miller. “I just wasn’t getting any respect or loyalty from them. They were always unaware of the benefit I brought to the company. Everyone was telling me I should switch to Jackson, and so far it has been amazing. I get emails, I get responses, I get photo sessions, and most importantly, I get guitars!”
The “Warrior” model (pictured above) will be Miller’s weapon of choice for all future projects.
Added Miller, “I saw it and was floored. It reminded me of the B.C. Rich Chuck Schuldiner played, and it plays perfect for my fretting hand and picking style. It’s considered a metal guitar I suppose, but the way it plays would work for any kind of music.”
Miller’s most recent project, the melodic death metal outfit, World Under Blood, released its debut album, Tactical, in July via Nuclear Blast Records.
