Overview
Shred in comfort and style with the innovative Jackson Pro Soloist SL2Q MAH, the final word in high-tech guitar design. A high performance evolution of the electric guitar, this instrument opens up a world of playability, resetting the bar of what's possible in guitar design. Unlock your full potential as a player and realize your musical dreams.
The 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard is designed for highly technical lightspeed playing -- more curved by the nut for comfortable chording, it flattens out as you move up the speedy neck for increasingly fast playing speed and wide bends without fretting out.
Chosen specifically for their complementary sound, a pair of modern Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucking pickups drives this guitar's versatile sound, combining for highly balanced, flexible tone, with plenty of high output for pristine cleans and snarling distortion. Master volume and tone controls shape the pickups' output, which can be further refined with the three-position pickup toggle switch for the precise voice required to bring your musical vision to life.
Dive and soar expressively with the Floyd Rose FRT-O5000 double-locking tremolo bridge, recessed for pick hand comfort and providing laser-accurate intonation and ultra-stable tuning when combined with the Floyd Rose R3 locking nut. The ergonomic Soloist body shape is designed for player comfort and increased balance, eliminating the dread "neck dive" that has brought many a headstock to a sad, untimely end.… read more

This guitar is even prettier in real life. It had a darker and more full blue color than appears on the photo. The guitar is light and has so much clearance on the upper frets that I'm having to relearn how to play up high. The 22nd fret feels just like I'm playing on the 12th fret. The neck is that comfortable. The compound neck really makes a difference as well. I've never played a guitar that can bend a string up to 4 half steps so easily. The first time I played one, I was deciding between an ESP MH1000 and the Schecter C1 hybrid (which also felt really nice). However, it seemed like merely comparing two guitars was not official enough so I picked a random other guitar to throw into the mix just to make me feel like I was really choosing from a lot of good metal choices. Unfortunately for the other two, the Jackson blew them out of the water. My left hand instantly fell in love with the shape and especially the oiled texture of the neck. The seymour duncan pickups sounded much better to me than the EMG's of the other two guitars and thus the Jackson took first place. I saved up for 6 months and got one.
This may be for professionals, but if you consider your self a part time 80's metal head want-to-be, look no further.
The only complaint - It has made me question whether or not I should quit medical school and move back in with my parents to play guitar all day and pretend to be a budding musician. I wonder if they'd be ok with that...
