The Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 in Gloss Black is a sleek, high-performance shred machine built for serious players who demand speed, precision and rock-solid tuning stability. With a neck-through construction, premium Seymour Duncan pickups and a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series trem, this Soloist is ready for technical metal, prog, fusion and anything else that requires effortless playability and cutting tone.

At its core, the SLA2 combines an arched nyatoh body with a three-piece maple and walnut neck for a powerful, balanced sound and incredible sustain. The compound radius ebony fingerboard, jumbo stainless-steel frets and Luminlay side dots make it a true stage and studio workhorse, while the gloss black finish and gold hardware give it a bold, professional look that stands out under the lights.

Neck-Through Speed and Stability

The three-piece maple and walnut neck runs through the body for maximum sustain, improved resonance and superb upper fret access. Graphite reinforcement rods and a hand-rubbed oiled finish on the back of the neck keep it stable and comfortable, so you can play fast, intricate parts with confidence, even under demanding touring conditions.

Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard

The 12 to 16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard is built for modern technique. It starts more curved at the nut for natural-feeling chords and rhythm work, then gradually flattens out up the neck to accommodate low action, fast legato runs and wide bends without choking, all across 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets that feel smooth and stay precise for the long haul.

Seymour Duncan JB and 59 Pickups

A classic Seymour Duncan pairing provides a huge range of usable tones. The JB TB 4 bridge humbucker delivers tight, aggressive crunch and searing lead tones, while the 59 SH 1N in the neck offers warm, articulate cleans and fluid solos. With five way switching for coil split combinations, you get everything from full humbucker punch to more open, single coil like textures at the flick of a switch.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo

The recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double locking tremolo lets you divebomb, flutter and scoop chords without sacrificing tuning stability. Locking at both the nut and bridge, it keeps your strings secure through heavy whammy use and aggressive playing, making it ideal for modern metal, shred and expressive lead work.

Key Features

  • Neck Through Construction with Graphite Reinforcement – The three piece maple and walnut neck runs through the nyatoh body for enhanced sustain, resonance and superior upper fret access. Graphite rods add extra stability against temperature and humidity changes, helping the guitar stay true and reliable on stage and in the studio.
  • 12 to 16 Inch Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard – A bound ebony fingerboard with a compound radius and 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets delivers a fast, modern playing surface. It feels comfortable for chords down low and opens up for effortless bends, tapping and high speed runs higher up the neck.
  • Seymour Duncan JB and 59 Humbuckers with 5 Way Switching – The JB bridge and 59 neck pickups are direct mounted for a tight, immediate response. Combined with the five position blade switch, they offer everything from thick rhythm crunch and singing leads to more articulate, split coil style tones, making this Soloist highly versatile.
  • Floyd Rose 1000 Series Double Locking Tremolo – The recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series bridge provides smooth tremolo action and rock solid tuning. Paired with a locking nut and Jackson sealed die cast tuners, it is built to handle extreme vibrato techniques and heavy playing without slipping out of tune.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
