Overview
Chug and then chug some more with the Jackson Soloist SLA6 DX Arch Top Baritone. With an extended 26.5-scale length, this sleekly sculpted baritone six-string is designed for enhanced low-end response, and is an ideal match for metal-preferred dropped tunings and chunky rhythm riffs.
Its nyatoh arched Soloist body is paired with a through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement for superior stability, while the 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid piranha tooth inlays is designed for comfortable, high-speed playing.
Active EMG 81 and 85 pickups combine for full-throated power that ranges from great overdrive sustain, distinctive fat and chunky rhythms to smooth lead tones that pack a muscular growl and slice through the densest mix. Versatile tonal command is yours with a three-way pickup blade switch and single volume and tone controls, while a Jackson HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge provides you with pinpoint intonation and improved sustain.

I received this guitar today as a birthday gift for myself. It's very fun to play. It chugs. Being a 26.5 scale baritone and using somewhat the same woods, it compares to an Ibanez RGD Iron Label model in my opinion, though it's less heavier and comes with active pickups. You can never go wrong with EMG 81-85's. It's a super comfortable guitar to play. I only have a few complaints about it: The die-cast tuners feel gritty and are hard to turn when tuning. The truss rod cover was very loose and looks curved/warped instead of being straight. The 2nd string has fret buzz on an open note. The rest of the strings are fine. Overall, it's a great guitar. Quality control needs improvement..
