Key Features
Take centre stage. This is one for the shredders. The Jackson Pro SL2P Soloist truly lives up to its name. From its sleek, oiled-back neck, to its 24 jumbo frets, the Soloist has been designed with speed and accuracy at the top of its list. With a 12"-16" compound radius, your fingers will comfortably fly across the luxurious ebony fretboard, from the lowest, sludgy riff, to the most searing top-end solo..
Tone City. Population: You. Whether you want chunky, driving crunch, or silky-smooth leads, the SL2's Seymour Duncan pickups have you covered. Both the JB humbucker at the bridge and the '59 in the neck slot are direct-mounted to the body, producing a cohesive cacophony, with superb sustain and resonance. A simple, three-way switching blade and an eye-catching, tasteful finish make the Pro SL2P a professional, road-ready riff machine that lives for the limelight.

A neck for all occasions. While the Jackson Pro Soloist has been specifically crafted with fleet-fingered virtuoso playing in mind, its ebony fretboard's compound radius ensures comfortable chords lower down the neck too. So, what is a compound radius fingerboard? Every fingerboard is slightly humped down its centre, with flatter surfaces being ideal for shredding, and rounder ones more suited to barre chords and rhythm playing.
The SL2P's compound radius, in essence, means you get two for the price of one. At the nut end of the neck, the fingerboard has a tight, 12" radius, meaning it fits perfectly in your hand as you tear through riff after riff. Up at the neck joint, the radius is a much flatter 16", which is perfect for intricate sweep-picking, pinpoint-accurate tapping, and crystal-clear, soulful bends. Every base covered.
It's all in the details. Every stage of the Soloist's creation was aimed at one goal - outstanding tone. The choice of pickups is a key decision in any guitar build. With heavy rock and metal styles always at the forefront of their minds, Jackson went straight to the source - a pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers.
They chose SD's JB model for the bridge. It's a high-output humbucker that's just made for distortion. With full, thick lows, outstanding top end clarity, and an upper midrange push that's ideal for crushing crunch and overdrive, it's easy to see why the JB is Seymour Duncan's most popular model. The '59 neck pickup compliments this perfectly, with a slightly lower output, and a warm, silky tone that's just crying out for soulful lead licks.
