A "Pure Metal" Soloist: Jackson DNA in a Limited Edition
With this Pro Plus Pure Metal Limited Edition Soloist SL1A, Jackson goes straight to the point: a modern Soloist platform built for precision and stage performance. The formula is based on fast and stable craftsmanship (through-neck) and a deliberately minimalist control layout to prioritize attack, reliability, and playing feel at high volume. The result: a contemporary variant designed for guitarists who want a responsive instrument without compromise.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
This Jackson is mainly aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an electric guitar that is both aggressive and precise. It excels in modern metal, hard rock, shred, and all approaches where the right hand must remain ultra-precise (palm-muting, fast alternate picking, syncopation). The Soloist format and access to high notes, combined with 24 frets, make it as much a lead weapon as a machine for tight rhythms.
Sound
The Bare Knuckle Holy Diver offers a dense and articulate signature: firm lows for percussive riffs, present mids to make playing stand out in a busy mix, and a sharp attack that maintains definition even under heavy saturation. The lack of a selector switch (single pickup configuration) reinforces the idea of an immediate "ready to riff" sound. The master volume control includes a push/pull " Voice Activation" for an alternative voice, useful to brighten certain passages or vary character without complicating ergonomics. Finally, the combination of a poplar body, maple through-neck, and ebony fingerboard provides quick response, precision, and sustain, while the recessed Floyd Rose 1000 secures tuning during the most extreme vibratos.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a Jackson gig bag. To preserve the original feel and balance of the Floyd Rose, it is recommended to use a set of strings in .009-.042 gauge (nickel-plated steel), matching the factory-installed gauge.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Jackson Soloist SL1A Pure Metal suitable for modern metal?
Its single pickup setup with a Bare Knuckle Holy Diver at the bridge delivers a sharp attack and solid lows under high gain. The 24 jumbo stainless steel frets and maple neck-through body promote precise rhythm playing as well as lead parts.
What pickup does this Soloist have?
