Stellar Signature Electric from Jackson
Jackson has teamed up with Slipknot lead guitarist Mick Thomson to bring you a stellar metal-ready electric guitar designed for Drop B tuning. The Mick Thomson USA Signature Soloist features premium appointments and stylish design along with killer sound. It begins with a quality mahogany body, 3-piece maple neck-through body, and stellar Seymour Duncan pickups. Other premium features include a Jackson MTB HT6 hardtail bridge and locking nut — for rock-solid intonation and tuning — and Jackson-branded sealed die-cast tuners.

Pickups ready to rage
For this Jackson signature Soloist model, Mick Thomson specifically asked for pickups designed to accommodate the complex, heavy riffs he is known for in dropped tunings. The result is a pair of Seymour Duncan Blackout humbuckers that kick out both aggressive, chunky mids as well as pristine high end — a tonal pairing great for palm-muted stylings, high-speed solos, and melodic phrasings steeped in gain where the low end doesn't overwhelm the higher range.
Stellar neck for maximum comfort
Another premium feature of this signature Soloist model is the graphite reinforced through-body 3-piece maple neck. This beautiful neck has been carved to a custom super-thin profile for stellar response and playability. It has a 12"–16" compound-radius and 24 jumbo frets on an ebony fingerboard that is built for speed and feels amazing in the hand and on the fingers.
A true trailblazer
As the lead guitarist for Slipknot, Mick Thomson has earned a reputation in the metal world as an innovative, aggressive stylist unafraid to explore new sonic territory. He is highly regarded by players worldwide and continues to bring a level of excellence to his playing night after night as one of metal’s most successful and revered players. His game-changing, take-no-prisoners approach to metal guitar has influenced countless musicians worldwide, while his black hole-heavy detuned guitar sound has been an integral part of Slipknot for more than two decades.
