Jackson welcomes Tetrarch’s Diamond Rowe as its first-ever female signature artist — here’s her new axe
Jackson has teamed up with Diamond Rowe of metal outfit Tetrarch on a new signature guitar, the Pro Series Signature Diamond Rowe DR12MG EVTN6.
The collaboration marks two major firsts: Rowe is Jackson’s first-ever female signature artist as well as the first African American woman in heavy music to have her own signature guitar.

Crafted in partnership with Rowe, this model boasts a Fender-esque 25.5” scale, Monarkh-styled nyatoh body draped with a poplar burl top, three-piece nyatoh set-neck with graphite reinforcement, and a 12” radius bound ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets.
The guitar also comes loaded with black chrome-covered active EMG 81 and 85 humbucking bridge and neck pickups, a three-way toggle switch, single volume control, and tone control for a range of tonal options. An Evertune bridge, meanwhile, ensures excellent tuning stability.
Design wise, the guitar is finished with a sleek Dark Rose colourway along with a custom colour-matched Jackson headstock and black hardware.

“I’m so excited about this new venture with the Jackson family. This is a historic collaboration – as I am the first female in the history of Jackson with a signature guitar and the first African American female signature artist in heavy music,” says Diamond. “I feel so honoured to have now joined such an elite group of players that are a part of this club. Many who have inspired me along this journey to get here. It’s truly humbling.”
Jackson’s latest partnership with the Tetrarch co-founder and guitarist also “marks a new chapter in the brand’s investment in fostering progressive talent”.
The Pro Series Signature Diamond Rowe DR12MG EVTN6 is priced at $1,699.99. Check out the guitar in action below.
