The Chris Broderick Signature Was Built to Burn
Designed in collaboration with Jackson Custom Shop Master Builder Mike Shannon, the Jackson USA Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT6 was conceived as a premium take on one of the company’s most classic — and eminently venerable — models. This axe was built for maximum performance, melding an ergonomic offset mahogany body with an exquisite arched maple top and rock-solid neck-through-body construction. This solidbody electric guitar brandishes a comfortable graphite-reinforced, quarter-sawn maple neck, which is capped by a fast-playing, 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets. The Chris Broderick Soloist delivers a smorgasbord of head-crushing tones courtesy of a set of direct-mount, custom-designed DiMarzio humbuckers, which are bolstered by a mini-toggle kill switch, a push-pull coil split, and a push-pull tone kill. You also get a single-string hardtail bridge that isolates each string for maximum focus, Planet Waves Auto-Trim locking tuners, and Ernie Ball strap locks. Furthermore, the Chris Broderick Soloist was tailor-made for the spotlight, thanks to a light-catching gloss polyester finish and stunning masked-off quilt maple binding. The Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT6 is one of the finest made-for-metal instruments in Jackson’s USA lineup, and given the company’s penchant for top-shelf metal-ready axes, that’s really saying something!
High-octane performance and playability
Players with high-performance demands will be duly impressed by the Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT6. For starters, this solidbody electric guitar boasts a meticulously sculpted offset mahogany body, crowned with a stunning arched maple top. The Chris Broderick Soloist’s graphite-reinforced, quarter-sawn maple neck and 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets offer next-level playability. You’ll also appreciate this guitar’s neck-through-body construction, which gives you a super-unobtrusive heel shape and unrestrained vibrational transfer. Sweetwater guitarists have found the Chris Broderick Soloist to be the perfect weapon for insane leads, sudden-death riffs, and any other fretboard hijinks you’d care to partake in.
Loaded with high-output crunch
Plug into anything with high-gain capabilities, and the Jackson USA Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT6’s high-output crunch will blow you away. Armed with a duo of direct-mount, Chris Broderick–designed DiMarzio humbuckers that are based on the D Activator bridge and PAF Pro neck humbucking pickups, this metallic beast delivers a whole slew of archetypal modern metal tones with near-limitless headroom, articulate response, and superb dynamics. The Chris Broderick Soloist HT6 also boasts a mini-toggle kill switch, a push-pull coil split, and a push-pull tone kill, ensuring that you have everything from paint-peeling, ear-pinning grind to chiming, single-coil-style glassiness at your disposal.
Rock-solid hardtail bridge
The Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT6 comes with a Jackson single-string hardtail bridge. This hardware’s unique design includes individual direct-mounted string saddles. Because each string is isolated, it allows for independent resonance per string, yielding an incredibly focused sound that you’ll find eminently inspiring. Even better, this bridge’s rock-solid design delivers super-reliable tuning stability while enabling seemingly endless sustain. Want to brutalize your strings? If so, the Chris Broderick Soloist is more than happy to accommodate you.
