A Soloist Pro Plus Dedicated to Performance: The Broderick Vision
Developed with Chris Broderick, this Soloist fits within the Jackson "high performance" tradition: craftsmanship designed for speed, precision, and reliability in real-world conditions. The mahogany body with flamed maple top (veneer), neck-through construction, and premium hardware place this model at the heart of the Pro Plus range, with a clear orientation towards demanding styles and modern playing.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
This Jackson is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive and stable electric guitar, comfortable in modern metal, prog, thrash, and all approaches requiring tight palm-muting and fast solos. It is also suitable for lower tunings thanks to its tuning stability and tight attack, while still capable of more open sounds via coil splitting for intros, arpeggios, and atmospheric passages.
The Tone
The mahogany body provides a dense and warm foundation with solid low-mids, while the flamed maple top (veneer) adds a sense of attack and definition. The DiMarzio CB6 humbuckers mounted directly to the body promote immediate response, tight lows, and rich harmonics, particularly effective when saturated. The electronics enhance versatility: a 3-position selector for essential combinations, push/pull coil split for accessing clearer, more incisive registers, and push/pull-activated tone control for quick brightness adjustment. The momentary kill switch enables highly percussive "stutter" rhythmic effects, perfect for live performance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay within original specifications, favor a 10-46 electric string set (nickel-plated steel, gauge .010-.046). A standard strap and plectrums suited to your attack (stiffer for riffing) effectively complete your daily setup.

Questions frequently asked
Is this Jackson Soloist suitable for modern metal and dropped tunings?
This model suits modern metal, prog, and thrash styles thanks to its two DiMarzio Chris Broderick CB6 humbuckers mounted directly to the body. The mahogany body provides a dense foundation, while the 25.5" / 647.7 mm scale length contributes to a tight attack. The tuning stability is designed for dropped tunings.
What tremolo does the Chris Broderick Soloist 6 feature?
A recessed Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo is paired with a Floyd Rose Locking nut. This setup is complemented by a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Locking tremolo arm.
Can clearer tones be achieved with the DiMarzio CB6 pickups?
The push/pull volume control allows coil splitting of the CB6 humbuckers to approach brighter, sharper sounds. The push/pull tone control activates the tone circuit to adjust brightness.
What string gauge should be used on this Soloist?
The original strings are nickel-plated steel with a gauge of .010-.046. An electric set 10-46 thus meets the stated specifications.
