The Jackson Soloist
The Jackson Soloist guitar is a guitar that was crafted for optimum efficiency when it came to lead guitar players. The guitar features a signature cutaway style that gives the player complete access to the fret board, even the highest parts of it. The body is sleek and curvaceous, and the headstock is curved and sharp-looking, as this is a look that appeals to guitar players playing heavier music. The guitar itself is made to deliver screeching tones that would make any lead guitar player envious, and is designed to have good enough action to accommodate any playing style, from the gentle playing of jam musicians to the machine-gun scales of metal monsters.
One of the most popular models of the Jackson Soloist is the SL1. This guitar features the following:
- Alder body with Flame Maple top on transparent colors
- Neck-thru-body design
- Die cast tuners
- Ebony fingerboard
- 24 frets, jumbo in size
- Three pickups, including a Seymour Duncan JB TB4 Humbucker on the bridge, a Seymour Duncan Classic Stack hum bucker in the middle, and a Seymour Duncan Classic stack hum bucker on the neck side.
- Pickup selector with a five position blade
- Black hardware, which is chrome on transparent finishes
- A scale length of 25.5 inches
There are other models of the Soloist available from Jackson, but this is one of the most popular ones available. You might be wondering just how many different colors this guitar comes in. Well if you are, don’t worry, there are plenty to choose from! Not only can you get it in all of the classic colors, like black, red, white, and grey, but it comes in a large variety of natural finishes and even some special paint jobs, featuring artwork like flames, skulls, and even one type that has a galaxy on it! It also comes in a left handed model for those who play with their left hand.
The SL1 Jackson Soloist is said to be a reliable instrument with a rich, chunky tone that metal players will love. It is also said to have low action and high playability, making it ideal for players who need to deal out quick riffs and screaming solos during live performances. When you have a task this demanding, you need a guitar that can support you, and that is exactly what the Soloist was designed for.
So if you are looking for a fantastic instrument with a hint of the dark side in it, then the Soloist just might be the best deal for you. With its great looks, it is sure to get attention and with its monster tone, you are sure to sound truly awesome! Whether you are touring, gigging weekly, playing with friends, or just jamming out by yourself, the Soloist is an instrument that will serve you well. It is a bit on the expensive side for a hobby guitar, but if you are on any kind of professional level, it is not a deal that can be matched by many.
