Fanned Frets for High-speed, Down-tuned Performance

The Jackson X Series Soloist Archtop SLAT7 FF 7-string electric guitar is built for high-speed, down-tuned playing, by virtue of its fanned-fret 25.5"-27" scale length. The SLAT7 FF's basswood body yields a thick, growling tone with defined mids, and a pair of EMG 808 active humbuckers further accentuate this axe's depth and clarity. Beyond that, this 7-string guitar's extended range ensures that you have plenty of low-end power at your disposal. If you're in search of a formidable 7-string electric guitar, you'll love the Jackson X Series Soloist Archtop SLAT7 FF!

Jackson X Series Soloist Archtop SLAT7 FF 7-string Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Fanned frets are tailor-made for high-speed, down-tuned playing
  • A tried-and-true set of EMG active humbuckers offer huge tones
  • Your weapon of choice for menacing tone and wicked good looks
Fanned frets are tailor-made for high-speed, down-tuned playing

Fanned frets are tailor-made for down-tuned and technical playing. Their scale length is longer on the bass side of the instrument and shorter on the treble side, yielding better intonation, consistent tension, and equal attack between strings. Many guitarists here at Sweetwater have made the transition to fanned-fret guitars. If you're into thunderous low-end chug and high-speed soloing, you owe it to yourself to try out one of these high-performance instruments.

A tried-and-true set of EMG active humbuckers offer huge tones

To match the X Series Soloist Archtop SLAT7 FF's amazing performance, Jackson turned to a time-tested pair of active EMG 808 pickups. When it comes to modern rock and cutting-edge metal, you just can't beat the sound of these EMG humbuckers. Take command of the deep, thunderous lows and brilliant highs you need to stand out in the mix. One second, you can hold down the rhythm with thick, chunky riffs, and the next, flip your SLAT7 FF into high gear and tear into a solo. Simply put, this is the sound the music you love was built on.

Your weapon of choice for menacing tone and wicked good looks

From Def Leppard's Phil Collen and Rick Savage to James Root of Slipknot and Stone Sour to Derrick Green of Sepultura (just to name a few), some of the most formidable axe-slingers in rock have used Jackson guitars to generate their fretboard fireworks - for good reason! Jackson guitars are designed from the ground up for monster tone, amazing playability, and rock-solid reliability every time they take the stage or hit the studio. Of course, it doesn't hurt to look good, either; if you're looking for a visually stunning instrument to impress your audience and show that you mean business, you want a Jackson!
