Jackson JS Series Surfcaster JS22 HT Electric Guitar
Series: JS Series
Body Shape: Offset Surfcaster
Orientation: Right-Handed
Finish: Gloss Black (and other finishes)
Overview
The Jackson JS22 Surfcaster HT is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Surfcaster design, combining retro offset aesthetics with Jackson’s signature high-performance features. Originally introduced in the early 1990s, the Surfcaster is known for its distinctive look and versatile tonal character, standing apart from traditional metal-focused designs.
This updated JS Series version features a lightweight poplar body and bolt-on maple neck, delivering a balanced tonal foundation with strong attack and clarity. The 12"–16" compound radius fingerboard allows for comfortable chord playing near the nut and faster lead work higher up the neck.
Unlike vintage Surfcaster models that often used lipstick pickups, the JS22 HT is equipped with dual high-output humbuckers, giving it a more aggressive voice suited to modern rock and metal while still retaining versatility for cleaner tones.
