Jackson Guitars Soloist SL7 Pro Signature Jeff Loomis HT EB Black Ash

Jeff Loomis x Jackson: A Signature Designed for Extreme Precision

A reference in technical and progressive metal, Jeff Loomis collaborates with Jackson for a Pro Series Soloist built for both stage and studio. The SL7 HT retains the Soloist DNA (refined ergonomics, uncompromised upper fret access) and extends it with a long scale for extended tuning, while offering the stability of a fixed bridge.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists in modern metal: prog, djent, technical death, instrumental shred. The 7-string + 26.5" combination ensures tight lows for palm-muted rhythms, while the ebony fingerboard and neck-through construction promote speed and articulation in lead playing.

Sound

The basswood provides balanced mids, enhanced by the sanded swamp ash top which adds attack and definition. The maple neck-through supported by graphite reinforcement maximizes sustain, and the ebony fingerboard adds brightness and immediate response. The Noumenon Alnico 5 humbuckers deliver tight lows, clear mids, and sharp attack. The 3-position selector covers brutal rhythm, articulate crunch, and singing lead tones, while the single volume keeps the signal path short and responsive. The Hipshot string-through bridge enhances intonation and tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Use 7-string nickel-plated strings in gauges .009-.062 (factory setup) to maintain tension and balance. Add a comfortable strap (50 mm width or wider) and a clip-on tuner for quick tuning changes on stage. A microfiber cloth will help preserve the satin black finish and ebony fingerboard.
