Jakko Jakszyks story reads like a tale of rock-and-roll dreams:When I was 11 years old my neighbour played me a song called 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson, and it blew my head off. Overnight they became my favourite band. I went to see them live a year later and my senses were equally destroyed, and I vowed that night that music would be my life. I could never have imagined that I would actually find myself in that very band years later, singing and playing that very song.

The guitar Jakko chooses to play with the legendary progressive rock outfit: a PRS Custom 24 Piezo adorned with the Schizoid Man artwork fromIn the Court of the Crimson Kingalbum.

When Robert Fripp asked me to join Crimson, I decided I needed a new guitar. Much as I loved and owned a number of vintage guitars, live I would always play something modern more reliable. PRS is the best of both worlds. A modern instrument that feels and looks like a classic. So when PRS asked if they could make me something special it had to be a guitar with that iconic artwork. The Schizoid Man face that started this whole journey off. Full circle as it were.

As a limited edition for 2019, PRS will be offering a maximum of 1,000 SE Schizoid guitars worldwide, adorned with that same classic artwork.
