Jackson American Series Soloist SL2 DX HT, Ebony Fingerboard, Satin Black

Full Description

High-performance build for ultimate playability

The Jackson American Series Soloist SL2 DX HT is designed for guitarists who demand precision and speed. Its neck-through-body construction ensures incredible sustain, while the three-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement provides unmatched stability. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard allows for smooth chording near the nut and effortless soloing higher up the neck, making it a true shredder’s dream. Jumbo stainless steel frets offer a slick, durable surface for extreme bends and lightning-fast playing, giving you a fluid, seamless feel across all 24 frets.

Versatile Seymour Duncan pickups for dynamic tones

Loaded with a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge pickup and a '59 SH-1N neck pickup, the SL2 DX HT delivers an incredible range of tones suited for metal, rock, and beyond. The JB TB-4 in the bridge brings aggressive punch and searing highs, while the ’59 SH-1N in the neck delivers smooth, vintage warmth with scooped mids. A five-way blade switch unlocks a variety of tonal options, including coil-split combinations that provide crisp, single-coil-like clarity. From tight, articulate rhythm tones to soaring lead sounds, this guitar has you covered.

Rock-solid hardware for reliable performance

Every component of the SL2 DX HT is designed for stability and precision. The Hipshot hardtail bridge delivers exceptional tuning stability, keeping your intonation rock solid no matter how hard you play. Gotoh MG-T locking tuners make string changes quick and effortless, while the Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut reduces friction for smoother tuning adjustments. Luminlay side dots provide enhanced visibility in dark settings, ensuring you can navigate the fretboard with confidence on any stage. Built for demanding performances, this guitar is a powerhouse of reliability.

Bold style with a sleek satin finish

Designed with Jackson’s signature aggressive aesthetic, the Soloist SL2 DX HT makes a statement on stage. Its sleek Satin Black finish is complemented by a colour-matched pointy headstock, giving it a bold and modern look. The inverse mother of pearl sharkfin inlays add an extra touch of style, while black hardware completes the stealthy design. Built to stand out and endure the demands of touring musicians, this American-made Soloist is as visually striking as it is sonically powerful.
