collapse expand iconDescription

The Jackson American Series Soloist SL2 DX HT electric guitar represents the pinnacle of high-performance craftsmanship, blending cutting-edge design with premium materials. Built in Jackson's Corona, California facility, this model showcases a sleek alder body paired with a through-body, three-piece maple neck reinforced with graphite rods for unmatched stability. The rolled ebony fingerboard, featuring a 12"-16" compound radius and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, is tailored for speed and precision. Luminlay side dots ensure effortless navigation in dark environments, while the satin black finish and matching headstock exude a commanding aesthetic. From its impeccable build quality to its tonal versatility, this guitar is crafted to empower the modern shredder.

Graphite-Reinforced Neck For Unmatched Stability

This guitar features a neck-through-body construction, combining a three-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcements for exceptional strength and stability. This design resists temperature and humidity fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance over time. The dual-action truss rod, adjusted via a convenient heel-mount wheel, allows for precise neck relief tweaks to accommodate any playing style. The result is a neck that delivers unparalleled sustain and reliability, making it ideal for demanding players who require consistency and durability under all conditions.

Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard For Speed And Comfort

The rolled ebony fingerboard on this model is designed for effortless playability, featuring a 12"-16" compound radius that transitions from a curved profile at the nut to a flatter surface near the upper frets. This provides comfortable chording in lower positions while enabling lightning-fast runs and wide bends higher up the neck without fretting out. The jumbo stainless steel frets offer a smooth, durable playing surface, while inverse mother of pearl sharkfin inlays and Luminlay side dots ensure precise navigation, even on dimly lit stages.

Seymour Duncan Pickups For Powerful Tonal Options

This instrument is equipped with a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge humbucker and a '59 SH-1N neck humbucker, offering a dynamic tonal range. The JB TB-4 provides a hot-rodded voice with tight lows and searing highs, perfect for aggressive riffs and solos. Meanwhile, the '59 SH-1N delivers smooth, glassy treble tones and scooped mids, ideal for cleaner passages and melodic lead work. A five-way blade switch allows for versatile pickup configurations, including split-coil options, while dome-style volume and tone knobs provide intuitive control for on-the-fly adjustments.

Premium Hardware For Reliable Performance

Built to endure the rigors of performance, this guitar features a Hipshot hardtail bridge for superior sustain and tuning stability. Gotoh locking tuners ensure quick and secure string changes, while Dunlop locking strap buttons keep the instrument firmly in place during energetic sets. The Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut enhances tuning consistency by reducing friction at the contact points. With these high-quality hardware components, this model is engineered for long-lasting performance and precision.

The Jackson American Series Soloist SL2 DX HT electric guitar is a top-tier instrument built for players who demand speed, precision, and durability. Its advanced features, including high-output pickups, a compound radius fingerboard, and premium hardware, make it a standout choice for shredders and technical players.

    This guitar ticks all the boxes. It has a fast neck, classic sound and polished stainless steel frets. The finish and fretwork are flawless. Gentleman, this is as good as a production guitar gets. It's almost on par with my custom shop Kiesels. The only negative is the case, its garbage.
