JACKSON - Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A - ebony fingerboard - satin Black

Built for speed and equipped for domination, the Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A showcases a single-ply bound poplar body with classic Soloist contours, bolstered by neck-through construction, ensuring rock-solid stability and natural sustain by the truckload. The Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A features a 3-piece, graphite-reinforced neck, which is given a satin, color-matched finish and capped with a lightning-fast compound-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo-sized, stainless steel frets.

As for tone, this axe’s single Bare Knuckle Holydiver humbucker unleashes bone-crushing crunch, pristine cleans, and face-melting high-gain eruptions with equal assurance, tied together by a charmingly minimalist control set. You also get resilient, sealed die-cast tuning machines and a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, enabling you to aggressively manhandle your whammy bar with zero sacrifices in tuning stability. Replete with metal-tempered attitude, the Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A flaunts a satisfyingly pointy profile, pearloid sharkfin fingerboard inlays, Luminlay side dots, a color-matched pointed headstock, and a stage-ready satin finish.

Players with high-performance demands will be duly impressed by the Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A. For starters, this metallic masterwork boasts a single-ply bound body meticulously forged from a solid slab of poplar. This Soloist’s 3-piece, graphite-reinforced maple neck, bolstered by a satin, color-matched 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.

You play the notes; the Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A’s Bare Knuckle Holydiver humbucker takes it from there. Loaded with an Alnico V magnet, this pickup screams with ’80s-style hot-rodded humbucker tone, melding a classic organic voice with just enough modern flavor to satisfy today’s progressive and technical metal players. Able to conjure up contemporary cleans and aggressive high-gain saturation with equal confidence, the Holydiver humbucker delivers the compact lows, red-hot mids, and harmonic-laden highs that technically and tonally demanding players expect whenever they plug into a cranked amp or their carefully crafted processors and pedals. Beyond that, the Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A includes a spartan control set, comprising a single Volume knob, allowing you to access high-octane metal tones with minimal fuss.

The Pro Plus Pure Metal Soloist SL1A holds up to excessive 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.
