Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG HT Electric Guitar – Matte Army Drab

The Pinnacle of High-Performance – Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG HT Electric Guitar – Matte Army Drab

Introducing Jackson, born in 1980 in Southern California, pioneering instruments tailored for hard rock and metal virtuosos. With 40 years of innovation, the Jackson American Series Soloist™ SL2MG HT represents the pinnacle of high-performance guitars. Crafted in Corona, it features an alder body, a stable through-body maple neck, and a compound radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets for lightning-fast playability. Equipped with EMG® 81 and 85 pickups, it delivers powerful yet clear tones ideal for modern metal. Additional premium features include a Hipshot® hardtail bridge, Gotoh® locking tuners, and Dunlop® locking strap buttons. This instrument embodies Jackson’s iconic metal aesthetic.

• Through-body three-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement
• 12″-16″ compound radius rolled ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets and inverse mother of pearl sharkfin inlays
• Three-way blade pickup switch, single volume control and single tone control
• Heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel
• Dunlop® dual-locking strap buttons
• Jackson Foam-Core case included

Through-Body Three-Piece Maple Neck Construction

True neck-through-body construction has been a Jackson hallmark since 1980, allowing for greater playability, warmer tonal spectrum and enhanced sustain. This method of guitar construction involves seamlessly extending three pieces of maple wood used for the neck through the entire length of the body. Graphite- reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road.

EMG® 81/85 Pickups

This classic EMG pickup combination features the ever-popular 81, which delivers an impressive amount of high end cut and fluid sustain. The sophisticated and versatile 85 includes alnico magnets that can take the player from blues to metal, providing the ability to jump from a smooth lead tone to a deep growl.

Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets

Stainless steel frets are a significantly harder and smoother material than nickel-silver, giving them extreme durability and a glassy playing feel making bending a breeze.
