A Soloist designed for performance in the Pro Plus series
The Soloist embodies Jackson's DNA: ergonomics tailored for speed, surgical precision, and craftsmanship built to withstand the most demanding techniques. In the Pro Plus version, this SLA2 features premium choices (stainless steel frets, neck-through construction, Seymour Duncan electronics, Floyd Rose 1000) in a Gloss "Quicksilver" finish that is decidedly contemporary, ideal for both stage and studio.
Who is it for, and what styles?
This Jackson is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a snappy, precise, and stable electric guitar, especially with a vibrato system. It excels in metal, hard rock, prog, and shred, while remaining credible in modern rock and fusion genres thanks to the intermediate positions and split-coil tones of the 5-position selector.
The sound
The HH Seymour Duncan duo delivers an immediately professional character: the JB TB-4 at the bridge provides present mids, a sharp attack, and excellent clarity for tight riffs and leads that cut through the mix, while the '59 SH-1N at the neck offers a rounder, more vintage tone, perfect for singing solos and thick cleans. The direct mount tightens the response and enhances dynamics, and the neck-through construction with ebony fingerboard accentuates precision, sustain, and note-to-note definition, even under demanding tunings.
Recommended compatible accessories
To maintain tension balance and vibrato setup, prefer a set of nickel-plated steel strings in .009-.042 gauge (original gauge). A Jackson gig bag is included for everyday transport.
