JACKSON - Pro Plus Series Soloist™ SLA2 - ebony fingerboard - Gloss Black

Flaunting a sublime melding of premium features and high-performance playability, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 boasts an arched nyatoh body with classic Soloist contours, bolstered by the model's trademark neck-through construction, putting rock-solid stability and truckloads of natural sustain in your hands.

The Pro Plus Series Soloist SL2 includes a 3-piece, graphite-reinforced neck, which is given a slick hand-rubbed oil finish and capped with a lightning-fast compound-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo-sized, stainless steel frets. Matched with a high-gain amplifier pushed to its limits, this axe’s direct-mount Seymour Duncan humbuckers unleash tones that rip through fusion, blaze through hard rock, and annihilate in full-throttle metal.

You also get resilient sealed die-cast tuning machines and a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, enabling you to engage in wild whammy manhandling with zero sacrifices in tuning stability. A decidedly upscale shredder, the Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 features pearloid Piranha Tooth fingerboard inlays, Luminlay side dots, a color-matched pointed headstock, and a stage-ready gloss finish.

Players with high-performance demands will be duly impressed by the Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2. For starters, this fabulous instrument boasts an arched, Soloist-shaped body meticulously sculpted from a solid slab of nyatoh. This Soloist's 3-piece, graphite-reinforced maple neck, bolstered by a hand-rubbed oil finish, and its bound compound-radius ebony fingerboard, crowned with 24 jumbo-sized stainless steel frets, offer next-level playability. You'll also appreciate this guitar's neck-through construction, which provides you with a super-unobtrusive heel shape and unrestrained vibrational transfer.

Cranking out relentless metal tones, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 harnesses its direct-mount Seymour Duncan humbuckers for pure high-gain fury. In the bridge, you’ll find a JB Model — the classic hot-rodded humbucker. You know, that sound — the one we’ve all loved for the last 30 years. Conversely, the ’59 Model in the neck is a moderate-output pickup inspired by the PAF-style humbuckers of yesteryear, giving you access to an entire arsenal of glorious vintage-flavored, alnico-fueled textures.

These scorchers boast plenty of output without sacrificing tone, adding harmonics, sustain, and the perfect amount of distortion to your playing. To top it off, the Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2’s streamlined controls comprise dome-style Volume and Tone knobs, along with a 5-way blade switch, giving rise to a wide palette of metal-ready sonic textures.

The Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 holds up to sadistic whammy abuse without choking, thanks to its recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo. While the Floyd is fully capable of subtle, expressive warbles, that's probably not what you're shooting for. Never fear; this lean, mean shredder also tackles screaming harmonic squeals and subterranean dive-bombs with equal assurance.

Even better, this trem's double-locking design delivers super-reliable tuning stability while enabling seemingly endless sustain. Want to brutalize your whammy bar? If so, this Soloist is more than happy to accommodate you.
