Paradise USA Jason Becker

In those days when I was listening to shred guitar, Cacophony with Marty Friedman and Jason Becker was one of the hot ones. At some point I'd seen the video of Jason playing guitar and yoyo simultaneously and that was a pretty fun gimmick. Though I don't personally find his music either from solo or DLR days to be earth-shattering classics (good, no doubt, but tragically he hadn't enough time to really cement his reputation as an all-time great), but the man's character and determination in continuing to release music facing such physical adversity surely eclipses that of his peers in much better circumstances.

This is the extremely limited Jason Becker signature model from Paradise Guitars. Handmade in the USA, based off his original 'Colors' guitar. Colored Dimarzio pickups, Sperzel hardware, and acrylic number inlays. This concept has since been redesigned and released by Carvin and can be ordered for a much more reasonable proce.
