Jackson, born in 1980 in Southern California, revolutionized instruments for hard rock and metal virtuosos. The American Series Soloist SL2MG, crafted in Corona, sets new standards with its alder body, through-body maple neck, and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets on a compound radius rolled ebony fingerboard. Powered by EMG 81 and 85 pickups, it delivers commanding punch with enhanced note definition, crucial for modern metal. Finished in Satin Black, Satin Lambo Orange, or Matte Army Drab, it embodies Jackson's iconic metal style.
FEATURES
HIGHLIGHTS
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.
