Full Description
View Full DescriptionPrecision-built for high-speed playing
The Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG HT is crafted with precision and performance in mind, offering a sleek and formidable design tailored for high-velocity playing. Its alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation, while the neck-through-body three-piece maple neck enhances sustain and resonance. Reinforced with graphite rods, the neck is engineered to resist warping and environmental shifts, ensuring long-term reliability and tuning stability. The ergonomics of the Soloist body shape allow for comfortable access to the upper frets, letting you execute complex solos and fast runs with ease. Built at the Jackson facility in Corona, California, this guitar represents the pinnacle of modern craftsmanship from one of the most iconic names in metal.
Compound radius fingerboard for ultimate control
At the heart of the SL2MG HT’s playability is its rolled ebony fingerboard with a 12"-16" compound radius. This clever design is more curved near the nut, giving a natural feel for chords and rhythm work, and flattens out higher up the neck for effortless soloing and wide bends without fretting out. The rolled fingerboard edges add comfort, giving your fretting hand a smoother playing surface ideal for extended sessions. With 24 jumbo stainless steel frets and inverted mother of pearl sharkfin inlays, the fingerboard offers both exceptional feel and striking looks. Luminlay side dots also ensure reliable fret navigation in low light, perfect for navigating dark stage setups with confidence.
Active EMG pickups with huge tonal power
Equipped with an EMG 81 in the bridge and an EMG 85 in the neck, this guitar delivers aggressive tones with exceptional clarity and punch. These active pickups are staples in the metal world, known for their high output and razor-sharp definition—perfect for tight rhythms, articulate lead lines, and harmonically rich overdrive. The three-way blade switch, along with dedicated volume and tone controls, gives you flexible tonal control in a streamlined setup. From drop-tuned riffing to fluid, expressive solos, this pickup configuration handles every style with uncompromising intensity.
Premium hardware for stage-ready performance
Every component on the SL2MG HT is chosen for durability and performance. The Hipshot hardtail bridge ensures rock-solid intonation and reliable tuning stability, while Gotoh MG-T locking tuners keep your strings firmly in place during even the most aggressive playing. Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons provide added security for live use, giving you confidence to perform without worry. The heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel also adds practical convenience, letting you make neck relief tweaks quickly and easily without removing hardware or strings. Built for life on the road or in the studio, this guitar is ready for whatever you throw at it.
