An Ultra-expressive and Hard-cutting Canvas
From ’80s thrash and melodic instrumentals to the sheer magnitude of modern metal, Jackson’s Pro Plus Soloist SL2 makes a huge impact with every note. Its lightweight, maneuverable, and deeply contoured okoume body is a dream to hang over the shoulder, while a Jackson Speed-profiled and oiled 3-piece maple/walnut/maple neck with a 24-fret compound radius ebony fingerboard works to match comforts perfectly. Delivering its devilishly divine heavy tones are a pair of Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers, unleashing a duet of aggressive sonic appeal just aching to craft the hard-hitting tones of your dreams. Plus, you can count on rock-steady intonation for unlimited expressive playability courtesy of sealed die-cast tuners and a Floyd Rose 1000 series locking nut with an accompanying double-locking tremolo. Treated with a gorgeous gloss finish and lined with subtly sharp pearloid Sharkfin fingerboard inlays, the striking appearance of the Pro Plus Soloist SL2 is just as commendable as its sound and feel.
Unforgettable playing feel
Okoume is well known for its lightweight nature, which, for an axe that shreds this hard, is a match made in heaven, whether you’re mid-performance or playing at home. The Pro Plus Soloist SL2’s lengthy back carve and enormous cutaways create a flush and highly accessible feel for all players, ensuring hours of comfortable music making. Its 3-piece maple/walnut/maple neck boasts a neck-through design and a Jackson Speed profile and comes topped with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard shaved to a marvelously manageable 12- to 16-inch compound radius. If ever there were a medium for flawless fingerwork and metal mayhem, Jackson’s Pro Plus Soloist SL2 takes the cake.
Voiced by Seymour Duncan Distortion
Let’s talk pickups! The Pro Plus Soloist SL2 keeps a pair of boisterous Seymour Duncan beauties on hand at all times. In the neck position, you’ll find the Duncan Distortion SH-6, which showcases tight low-end and harmonically rich top-end into one exceptional high-output package, establishing harsh drive when you want it yet glassy-clean tonality when you need it. Back at the bridge, a Duncan Distortion TB-6 Trembucker really turns up the heat! With its hot coils and enormous ceramic magnets, the TB-6 encompasses the realms of metal, nu-metal, punk, thrash — just about any in-your-face energy you crave.
Armored for expressive play
Backing the energy of its sonics and effortlessly agile build is some seriously stellar and stand-up hardware by Floyd Rose. At the body, Jackson’s outfitted the Pro Plus Soloist SL2 with a 1000 series double-locking tremolo bridge, opening doors to free-will pitch dives for monstrously expressive soloing and absolute creative carte blanche. Meanwhile, at the opposing end, a matching 1000 series locking nut works in conjunction with Jackson’s proprietary sealed die-cast tuning machines to anchor your intonation with complete certainty. Go ahead and cut loose! The Pro Plus Soloist SL2 will be ready to catch your fall the whole way through.
