The Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL2Q is a premium instrument, with gorgeous aesthetics and a raft of high-spec hardware appointments. Boasting a neck-through-body construction, compound radius fretboard, high-output Seymour Duncan pickups and a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo, this guitar is built purely for performance.
Construction
The Soloist SL2Q features a Mahogany body; a deep and rich-sounding tonewood that will give heavy riffs all of the low-end grunt they’d ever require. Adorned with a stunning Quilted Maple top, this beautiful instrument will catch the eager eyes of anyone in your audience!
Paired with a 1-piece Maple neck, this bright-sounding material will help to deliver some top-end snap and definition, giving notes a fast attack and amazing projection in heavy mixes. Reinforced with Graphite, this neck will remain stable even in differing temperatures and conditions, meaning that you won't have to tinker with your setup very often at all.
A compound radius fingerboard is another notable feature of this instrument. Rounded at the lower end of the neck to make chords easier to fret, the fingerboard flattens out in the higher register to make shredding a breeze. This also helps to prevent notes from fretting out when performing string bends, making it a very ergonomic design.
With a neck-through construction, this guitar has a truly elegant feel and look. But the perks aren't purely aesthetic, as with a neck-through design, you can expect improved sustain and warmer lows.
Electronics & Hardware
This Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL2Q is powered by a pair of super-hot Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers. Able to effortlessly handle high doses of gain, these pickups are also clear and vibrant with clean settings, despite their name.
With a three-way switch, you can get the unbridled bite of the bridge pickup the smooth and creamy tone of the neck pickup; or a combination of both for balanced-sounding cleans.
A double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo will keep this guitar in tune incredibly well, no matter how extreme your divebombs might be. And with a recessed design, you can perform crazy flutters and over-the-top raised squealies; perfect for chaotic-sounding effects.
