Atlanta’s Tetrarch have been at the forefront of the modern nu metal movement, driven by chugging riffs and the six-string mastery of guitarist Diamond Rowe. Her chops helped the band’s second studio album Unstable become one of metal’s best records of 2021. Now, Jackson Guitars have granted Rowe her own signature guitar, making her the first African-American signature artist in the brand’s history.
The Pro Series Signature Diamond Rowe DR12MG EVTN6 is a beast of an axe, boasting EMG 81 and 85 pickups, an arched top Nyatoh body in the Monarkh shape (similar to the classic Les Paul), and an Evertune bridge. The guitar comes with .010-.054 strings, ensuring great low-end tones and soaring leads.
The full specs for the Diamond Rowe signature guitar are as follows:
- Arched top Nyatoh body
- Maple cap and Poplar burl veneer

Tetrarch recently released their first single from their as-yet-untitled third album. “Live Not Fantasize” deals with fighting back against one’s deeper thoughts, with a refrain of “not defined by the state of my mind.” As expected, Diamond Rowe pulls a ripper of a solo off, affirming her spot as one of modern metal’s finest fretboard firework-makers.
