A New Breed of Metal Guitar

The Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist 7 electric guitar was co-developed by the Act of Defiance (former Megadeth) guitarist and Mike Shannon (Jackson Custom Shop's legendary luthier) to create a unique Soloist with maximum tonal tenacity. Chris Broderick designed this signature seven-string Soloist with an offset archtop mahogany body topped with a quilt maple top and completed it with a quartersawn maple neck for the ultimate in strength and tone. Even the custom DiMarzio humbucking pickups were designed with Chris Broderick's input.

A unique Soloist

Even if you know Jackson's Soloist series, you haven't experienced the Chris Broderick Soloist. Everything about this model is unique. The aggressive nature of the instrument is due in large part to the features Broderick deems necessary for his brand of high-octane playing. The offset body helps the guitar balance in an optimal position. An incredibly flat fretboard begs for your most demanding techniques. And you'll love the arched Quilt maple and custom pickup kill switch.

Custom pickups

Not only is the Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist unique, it packs a pair of unique pickups custom-designed by Chris Broderick and DiMarzio. Broderick needs a pickup that maintains a tight low-end for jackhammer riffs while imparting his single-note solos with enough mass and warmth to make them really sing. And there is plenty of output onboard the custom DiMarzios to punish the front of any amplifier. These humbuckers are built for high-gain, low-noise, and uncompromising tone.

A true metal machine

The Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist 7 is a guitar designed and honed to be a metal machine. The ebony fretboard with compound radius (12" - 17") and stainless steel frets will keep you shredding effortlessly for hours on end. The direct-mounted custom pickups give you molten-metal tone as only DiMarzio can. The recessed Floyd Rose Pro tremolo gives you stable tuning while allowing you to dive bomb like a madman. The Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist 7 seven-string is ready for you. Are you ready for it?

  • Unique version of the famous Soloist model, with amazing playability

Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist 7 (Custom Shop, Trans Red)

Simply Phenomenal! Fit, finish, playability, attention to detail. Jackson's Custom Shop is exceptional. Sure it's costly but a USA, hand crafted dream machine of a guitar is worth it.

The neck profile is ultra comfortable, quartersawn maple neck, ebony fretboard, stainless steel frets, and a12" radius let you glide with the ultimate freedom.

Dimarzio D' Activator pups direct mounted are the real deal. Powerful, dynamic and can be as subtle or as brutal as you wish. The tonal palette ranges from a darker, heavy growl to a biting, cut through onslaught in a world all it's own.

Mahogany body, quilt maple top with undoubted heft, but contoured and comfortable to play.

Recessed Floyd Rose, Kill Switch, coil taps, Planet Waves Autotrim tuners straplocks and comes in a USA made G&G custom case.

This is a superb guitar and well worth the investment. The age old rule, you get what you pay for is true. Should you have the chance to own a piece of history, this is it. I special ordered mine and it will take some time so don't stress, these are hand built one at a time, not mass produced.

Thank you Sweetwater and special thanks to Robby Resnick @ Ext 1368. A stellar sales pro with superior in depth knowledge of the gear he sells. Do yourself a favor, no matter what your needs are, give Robby a call. His attention to detail and follow up are the best I've encountered and I've worked in high level sales for 15 plus years and this guy rocks!
