The Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 in Red Crystal is a sleek, high-performance shred machine built for serious players who demand speed, precision and rock-solid tuning stability. With its neck-through construction, premium Seymour Duncan pickups and a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo, this Soloist is ready for everything from technical metal to fluid fusion leads and expressive whammy work.
Every detail of the SLA2 is geared towards effortless playability and tonal versatility. The arched nyatoh body keeps things resonant and responsive, while the three-piece maple/walnut neck with graphite reinforcement feels fast and stable in any climate. A compound radius ebony fingerboard, jumbo stainless-steel frets and Luminlay side dots ensure you can play at full tilt with total confidence, on any stage and under any lights.
High-Performance Neck-Through Design
The three-piece maple/walnut neck runs right through the nyatoh body, maximising sustain and giving you unimpeded upper fret access. Graphite reinforcement rods add long-term stability, helping the neck resist movement from temperature and humidity changes, while the hand-rubbed oiled finish on the back feels fast, smooth and comfortable for extended playing sessions.
Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard
The 12 to 16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard is optimised for modern playing. It starts more curved at the nut for natural-feeling chords and rhythm work, then gradually flattens out as you move up the neck, making big bends, fast runs and intricate legato lines feel controlled and buzz-free. Jumbo stainless-steel frets offer a slick, durable playing surface that will stay in top condition for years.
Seymour Duncan JB / 59 Pickup Pair
A classic Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 in the bridge and a 59 SH-1N in the neck give the SLA2 a hugely versatile tonal palette. From tight, aggressive rhythm tones and cutting leads to warm, articulate cleans, this tried-and-tested combination delivers clarity, punch and musicality. The direct-mount design enhances attack and focus, while the five-way blade switch unlocks useful coil-split combinations for added flexibility.
Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo
The recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo lets you divebomb, flutter and pull up with confidence. With the strings locked at both the nut and the bridge, tuning stability is significantly improved, even under extreme tremolo use. Paired with Jackson sealed die-cast tuners and locking strap buttons, the SLA2 is built to stay secure and in tune throughout demanding gigs and rehearsals.
Key Features
- Neck-Through Maple/Walnut Neck with Graphite Reinforcement – The neck-through-body construction enhances sustain and resonance while giving you effortless access to all 24 frets. Graphite reinforcement rods help keep the neck straight and stable, so your setup stays consistent even with changes in temperature and humidity.
- 12 to 16 Inch Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard – Curved where you chord, flatter where you shred, the compound radius board makes both rhythm and lead work feel natural. Ebony adds a smooth, fast feel under the fingers, and jumbo stainless-steel frets offer long-lasting durability and easy bending.
- Seymour Duncan JB / 59 Humbuckers with 5-Way Switching – The JB bridge and 59 neck pickups deliver everything from searing high-gain tones to sweet, vintage-inspired cleans. The five-position blade switch provides multiple coil combinations, giving you a wide range of usable sounds from a simple, intuitive control layout.
- Floyd Rose 1000 Series Double-Locking Tremolo – The recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge allows expressive vibrato and extreme pitch effects while helping maintain tuning stability. Combined with the locking nut and solid Jackson hardware, it is ideal for players who rely on heavy tremolo use without wanting to constantly retune.
