Jackson Pro SL2A, Unicorn White

Full Description

The best of both worlds

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 SL2A'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.

Tip top tone

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.

Fierce Floyd Rose

So you like vibrato? With a Floyd Rose Special Double-Locking Tremolo, you can have all the vibrato in the world. A 'floating' bridge, it will let you bend notes up or down with ease using the whammy bar – and you can do divebombs too. The tuning stability is tight, the resonance is powerful, and the feel is beyond words. Built to a professional standard, this is a fully authentic Floyd Rose bridge – nothing beats the original. You can also fine tune the strings using the fine tuning screws – without having to take off the locking nut. If you’re looking for a bridge which will enhance your riffs and give you pure confidence on stage, this is it
