Jackson SL3M Soloist, Rainbow Crackle

Full Description

Lightening at your fingertips

Get ready to shock and awe. The Pro SL3M Soloist is the true meaning of thunderous tone. Jackson are proud to bring Seymour Duncan pickups to their flagship model. And the results are electrifying. With a signature humbucker and two single coils on board, you’ll go from roaring low end to glassy tops with plenty of midrange kick in between. Whether you’re a heavy metal shredder or a hard rock hero, there’s a lot to explore. The TB-6 Trembucker delivers well-balanced, heavy timbre, whilst the Custom Flat Strat offers the ultimate blend of harmonic resonance and glassy clean tones. Together they work in harmony for a playing experience like no other.

Reach the stratosphere…

And land back down on earth without knocking your tuning. The Soloist has a secret weapon that takes your riffs high into the sky. Soar and dive on a responsive Floyd Rose tremolo system. The double locking mechanism ensures that your guitar will always be singing in key, even after your huge bands and colossal vibrato. Coupled with the 1000 Series locking nut, your strings are in strong and stable hands. That means faultless intonation, rapid string changes, and unfaltering tuning – all night long. That’s a promise.

A beast that doesn’t bite

Who says that a fierce axe can’t feel comfortable too? The soloist offers snarling tone without straining your hands. Jackson have given you everything you need to let the beast off the leash. Play all night long on a maple neck and fingerboard. Sculpted to a 12” – 16” compound radius, you’ll be shredding at lightening speed with the best tone available. Finger positioning is easy thanks to a jumbo fret design and 25.5” scale length. Whether you’re riffing up high or down low you’ll have access to every single note. No restriction. No fatigue. And no compromise on tone. The soloist is built for the road, too. So when you’re busy showcasing your talent, you can rest assured your neck isn’t going to warp or bow.
