A Stunning Signature 7-string
Arch Enemy, Nevermore, Alcatrazz: not many guitarists have a heavy metal résumé as impressive as Jeff Loomis, so it’s high praise for him to adorn his name on Jackson’s Pro Series Jeff Loomis Signature Soloist SL7. This axe’s lightweight basswood body boasts a sandblasted bound ash top — an aggressive and utilitarian look that matches the simplified control scheme. A pair of Jeff’s signature Blackout pickups delivers all the crunch and grit that’s he’s famous for. Sweetwater guitarists find that the articulate and in-your-face tone of these pickups give an amazingly clear definition to this Soloist's extended 7-string range. Finally, a Floyd Rose FRT-O1500 tremolo provides this guitar with stage-ready tuning stability, even with heavy vibrato use and flurries of dive-bombs!

Fast-playing 3-piece neck and compound-radius fingerboard
Jackson crafted the Jeff Loomis Signature Soloist SL7 to be a high-performance extended-range electric with maximum clarity, sustain, and sonic power. Its graphite-reinforced bolt-on 3-piece maple neck boasts a hand-rubbed satin finish for maximum low-drag comfort, while its fast-playing ebony compound-radius fingerboard is the ideal platform for heavy riffing and high-speed soloing. Down low, your fretting hand will value the 12-inch radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action, lightning-fast runs, and wide string bends without fretting out.

The Jeff Loomis Signature Soloist SL7 endeavors to provide the ultimate shred experience, and it delivers the goods.
