General

For many years now, the Jackson Soloist has been one of the American company's most popular models. No wonder, as its comfortable body and speedy neck offer a great foundation for some serious guitar playing. The Jackson SL3X Soloist is part of the X Series, a line that's renowned for its excellent price to quality ratio. This Slime Green version is an exceptionally versatile instrument thanks to its Duncan Designed HSS pickup configuration. It's is simply brimming with Jackson DNA!

SL3X Soloist: a comfortable instrument

One of the main characteristics of a Jackson Soloist is the renowned neck-though-body construction, which not only increases sustain but also gives you easy access to all the frets. Additionally, this affordable SL3X model features the familiar compound fretboard radius that makes playing solos much easier. A Floyd Rose Special tremolo, meanwhile, allows you to go to town with outrageous vibrato.

Jackson Guitars: innovative designs

Jackson Guitars originated in 1980, when talented young guitarist Randy Rhoads approached Wayne Charvel - then the owner of Charvel's Guitar Repair shop - with an idea for an innovative V model. In collaboration with Tim Wilson and Mike Shannon, the Concorde was created. This guitar was so different from the other instruments Charvel was issuing at the time, that guitar builder Grover Jackson decided to introduce them under his own name. Thanks to their stylish designs, fast necks and powerful sound, Jackson guitars are perfect for hard rock and metal.
