Designed for fans of 7-string guitars, the Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL7 is a unique music machine that redefines metal prowess and innovative guitar design. Dive and soar expressively with the Floyd Rose FRTSSO2000 double-locking tremolo bridge, recessed for pick hand comfort and providing laser-accurate intonation and ultra-stable tuning when combined with a 7-string Floyd Rose locking nut. Chosen specifically for their complementary sound, a pair of Seymour Duncan SH-6 7 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 five-position blade switch for the precise voice required to bring your musical vision to life. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard is designed for highly technical light speed 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.

Jackson has a history of adding striking style to its high performance instruments, and this axe is no exception. The brooding all-black hardware wears well, refusing to show the rigors of the road it may encounter while the durable gloss finish, Alumiloid piranha neck inlays, single ply neck binding and Jackson's signature pointed reverse 7-In-Line headstock establish this instrument's unmistakable read more pedigree. Innovative, lightning fast, monstrous-sounding and more than easy on the eyes, the Pro Series Soloist SL7 is the perfect match for modern metal musicians. read less

I’ve had the guitar for a few days now. Out of the three seven strings I’ve purchased, this is definitely the best. The neck and fingerboard feel amazing. I’ve never felt more comfortable on a seven string before! It’s a great guitar and I’m overall happy with my purchase.A few down sides though1. Direct mounted pick ups. This is my first guitar with Direct Mount pick ups, and I believe on others like this, you can raise and lower the pickups. That doesn’t seem to be the case on this guitar though. Pick ups are set where they are.2. The Floyd Rose Whammy Bar does not stay locked in. Hit the bar two times while it’s locked and it loosens up. 3. Tuning keys feel awful. They are so tight and choppy feeling. It’s really the cheapest feature of this guitar. The tuning keys just suck. Good news though, I’ve only tuned it once beyond the locking nut.4. The fine tuners are also tough to work with. I don’t know why, but they are.5. The finish at the neck joint isn’t as seamless a transition as I thought when I ordered this. It’s not bad, but it’s an ugly joint and you do feel it when you slide to the high notes. It won’t hinder you any, but it’s weird. There’s just an obvious line of glue or lacquer finishing. I’m not sure, but it surprised me. Over all, I really like the guitar, it looks sick and feels amazing. I’m happy with my purchase for the most part.I don’t feel it’s a $1,000 guitar. But I bought it at that price and am keeping it.
