The Axe to Rule All Axes
Designed in collaboration with Sabaton guitarist Chris Rörland, the Pro Series Signature Chris Rörland Soloist SL7 brings iconic tone, unrelenting performance dependability, and devilish good looks into the 7-string realm. Supported by a graphite-reinforced 3-piece maple neck and a compound-radius fingerboard, the Chris Rörland signature is built to take the rigors of heavy metal in stride. Classic EMG 81/85 pickups, voiced for supreme 7-string detail, deliver hard-cutting, aggressively full-bodied tone for all your high-output needs. Plus, a Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo system unleashes flawless expressivity for lead applications. Treated to a Satin Black finish with full white binding throughout and Chris’s signature on the back of the headstock, this battle-ready 7-string is an absolute “Unkillable Soldier” for the stage.

Superior strength and playing comfort
Chris Rörland is no stranger to the realm of taxing, high-intensity performance. The power metal mainstay backed high-octane outfits like TME and Nocturnal Rites before joining Swedish heavyweight Sabaton in 2012. Suffice it to say, an unwavering axe to showcase Chris’s stadium-filling 7-string chops is paramount to the Sabaton sound, and that’s exactly what he and Jackson have conjured.
With its roots sunk in the bedrock of Jackson’s Soloist silhouette, the Chris Rörland signature is sculpted to be triumphantly put through its power metal paces. Its double-cut, well-contoured nyatoh body is speared with a satin-finished 3-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement, designed to weather relentless riffage and climactic finales without falter. Sweetwater metalheads have found its 7-string playability equally impressive, thanks to a widely accommodating 26.5-inch scale length, a 1.875-inch nut width, and a 24-fret compound-radius ebony fingerboard. From solo sessions to headline shows, the Chris Rörland signature remains unyielding.
A 7-string-optimized set of 81/85s
As any metal fan can attest, the sound of the legendary EMG 81/85 pickup combination is one that will forever stand the test of time. So, it only stands to reason that the Chris Rörland signature would demand EMG’s 7-string-tuned iterations to deliver his Sabaton tone with vigor. Designed for high-output intensity, these active ceramic-magnet humbuckers are rich with tonal detail, sustain, and slicing attack. Blisteringly powerful in concert or aggressively versatile on their own, both EMG 81-7H and 85-7H humbuckers are voiced to deliver momentous riffs and searing solos, forging every creative path you take.
Double-locking Floyd Rose system
No power metal-ready 7-string would be complete without a hardware set that ensures maximum expressive potential without compromise. Enter the Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking system. Down at the body, a relentless 1000 series tremolo welcomes gravity-defying dives and harmonic squeals to your heart's content. At the headstock, a locking nut works in conjunction with a set of Jackson sealed-back locking machine heads, promising set-long tuning stability, no matter how hard you like to play.
