The Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 HT in Gloss Black is a sleek, modern metal machine built for precision, speed and rock-solid tuning stability. With neck-through construction, premium Seymour Duncan pickups and a no-nonsense hardtail bridge, it is designed to deliver crushing rhythm tones, searing leads and effortless playability on stage or in the studio.
From its arched nyatoh body and compound radius ebony fingerboard to its stainless-steel frets and locking hardware, every detail of the SLA2 HT is geared towards high-performance playing. Whether you live in low tunings, shred across the entire neck or need crystal-clear note definition under high gain, this Soloist is ready to keep up with your most demanding riffs.
High-Performance Neck-Through Construction
The three-piece maple and walnut neck-through design gives the SLA2 HT exceptional sustain, stability and upper fret access. The sculpted shredder heel lets your fretting hand glide all the way up to the 24th fret without obstruction, while graphite reinforcement helps the neck resist movement caused by changes in temperature and humidity. A hand-rubbed oil finish on the back of the neck adds a fast, natural feel that encourages fluid, technical playing.
Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard with Stainless-Steel Frets
The 12 to 16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard is built for both comfort and speed. It starts more curved near the nut for natural-feeling chords, then gradually flattens out higher up the neck to accommodate wide bends and low action without fretting out. Twenty-four jumbo stainless-steel frets offer a smooth, durable playing surface with excellent note clarity and long-lasting precision, while Luminlay side dots keep you oriented under low stage lighting.
Seymour Duncan JB and 59 Pickups with Versatile Switching
A direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and 59 in the neck give this Soloist a powerful, articulate voice that covers everything from tight, aggressive rhythm work to singing lead tones and warm cleans. The five-way blade switch unlocks multiple coil combinations, including split-coil options for brighter, more single-coil-like textures, making the SLA2 HT far more versatile than a typical dual-humbucker guitar.
Hardtail Stability and Locking Hardware
The Jackson HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge delivers outstanding tuning stability, sustain and precise intonation without the complexity of a tremolo system. Combined with Jackson sealed die-cast locking tuners and locking strap buttons, the SLA2 HT is built to stay in tune through heavy riffing, aggressive picking and full sets, so you can focus on your playing rather than your tuning.
