An American Series Soloist: Jackson's DNA, Built for the Stage
The Soloist is a Jackson classic: a superstrat designed for speed, precision, and wide dynamic range. This American Series Soloist SL2 DX is positioned as a high-end model made in the USA, equipped for performance (through-body neck, graphite reinforcement, Floyd Rose 1500, locking tuners) and finished in Lemon Ice, highlighting its modern and sharp look.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
This Jackson is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a fast and stable electric guitar for pick playing, legato, shred licks, and expressive vibrato solos. It excels in metal, hard rock, modern rock, and fusion, while remaining comfortable with more nuanced tones thanks to the intermediate positions on the 5-way selector switch.
The Sound
The alder body provides an effective balance: present mids, a sharp attack, and a smooth response, ideal for clear saturated tones. The through-body neck promotes good sustain and a seamless feel across the entire neck. On pickups, the Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 at the bridge delivers a powerful, tight, and cutting sound for riffs and solos that cut through the mix, while the Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N at the neck offers a rounder, more open texture, perfect for singing leads and thick cleans. The volume, tone, and 5-position selector allow switching from a full humbucker sound to more snappy and defined combinations.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a Jackson Foam Core Case (reference 2994742100), perfectly suited for transport. It is factory-strung with Nickel Plated Steel .009-.042 strings: this gauge is recommended if you want to maintain the same playing feel and Floyd Rose balance.
