A Modern Soloist, Built for Performance in the Pro Plus Series
The Soloist is one of Jackson's most iconic shapes: a silhouette designed for access to high notes, precision, and technical playing. This Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 incorporates the brand's "high performance" fundamentals (neck-thru construction, Floyd Rose hardware, Seymour Duncan duo) and pairs them with a voiced nyatoh body and a glossy Red Crystal finish, delivering a look as bold as its specifications.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists, the SLA2 excels in metal, hard rock, prog, and any genres requiring sharp attacks, firm palm-mutes, and impeccable pitch accuracy on bends. The 5-position selector switch and coil-splitting combinations expand the palette for precise cleans, cutting arpeggios, and more nuanced rhythms in modern rock and fusion.
The Tone
The nyatoh provides a balanced foundation with present mids, ideal for maintaining body under heavy saturation, while the ebony fingerboard enhances attack, definition, and "snap" in the highs. The neck-through construction promotes generous sustain and excellent vibration continuity along the entire neck. On pickups, the Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 at the bridge delivers strong output with rich harmonics and great precision for rhythm playing, while the Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N at the neck offers a more open register, perfect for fluid leads and rounder cleans. The Floyd Rose 1000 adds a firm attack feel and valuable stability whenever the vibrato is engaged.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain original feel and Floyd Rose balance, prefer .009-.042 gauge strings (nickel-plated steel), like the factory-installed gauge.
