For more than a dozen years Matthias Jabs has been the flashy, fluid, fiery lead guitarist for the Scorpions, a fact most recently shown on the group's latest disc, Pure Instinct.
In a band where the workload of the Scorp's legendary two guitar lineup is clearly divided betwen the chugging rhythm duties of Rudolph Schenker and Jabs' silicon-slick solo runs, Matthias' efforts have been widely hailed for their strength, skill and sense of purpose.
Yes, he's perhaps best known for his custom-striped Gibson Explorer, but as this Teutonic Terror recently told us, he recently signed a deal with Fender to build a "Matthias Jabs Signature" Stratocaster - though he insists he'll still be playing his Gibsons on stage as well.

The Scorpions' current tour is in support of its latest album, CD Moment of Glory, on which they collaborated with the Berlin Philharmonic Songs such as ``Winds of Change,'' ``Big City Nights,'' ``No One Like You,'' and even the new ``We Don't Own the World'' were a true delight.
The instant Rudolf, Klaus, Matthias, Ralph and James took the stage, it was like firebombs were shaking the stadium's concrete footings… the crowd was instantly gratified "Winds of Change" sounded incredible and the crowd stood through the entire length of concert.
As a band that loves its fans, the band would often stand downstage to frequently interact with the crowd, which is one of the best things that can ever happen to a fan at rock concert.
