Jerry Cantrell can be seen holding his signature model Rampage guitar from G&L in this ad.

Here is the product description from G&L's website. "Rampage shares the originals Soft Maple body, sleek Hard Rock Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard and Kahler 2320 vibrato. While the early Rampage had locking nut designed by Leo Fender, Jerry modded his necks to fit a beefier Floyd Rose locking nut. The Rampage Jerry Cantrell has the shelf for the Floyd Rose nut engineered in for greater stability and sustain. What's more, the Kahler vibrato is slightly recessed into the body, allowing lower action than those early Rampages. Then there's the pickup. Early Rampages came equipped with a Schaller humbucker, but the Rampage Jerry Cantrell model has one of Jerry's favorite humbuckers, a Seymour Duncan JB which pairs spectacularly with the Soft Maple body."
