Jackson Pro Plus Soloist SL2
The Jackson Pro Plus Soloist SL2 is a neck-through electric guitar built for players who demand high-output tones and fast fretboard navigation. Its Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups and compound-radius ebony board suit aggressive styles and technical lead work. This instrument is not for buyers who want a hollow-body sound, a vintage single-coil chime, or an acoustic-electric hybrid.
Sustained performance
Neck-through construction and graphite-reinforced maple/walnut neck resist warping, keeping action consistent during long sets and climate changes. Jumbo stainless steel frets retain their crown far longer than nickel-silver, so bending feel stays glassy night after night. The locking tremolo and sealed tuners hold pitch through heavy vibrato use without constant retuning.
Build and connectivity
Okoume body contours reduce fatigue during extended standing or seated sessions. Bound ebony fingerboard with pearloid piranha tooth inlays provides clear visual reference at any fret. Black hardware and the Bruised Crackle finish create a cohesive stage-ready look. No onboard electronics beyond the passive pickup set, so players needing active EQ or piezo blending will look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Does the locking tremolo and graphite-reinforced neck keep the guitar stable during long, high-gain sessions?
The Jackson locking tremolo bridge and sealed die-cast tuners maintain tuning through heavy use, while graphite rods in the three-piece maple/walnut neck resist environmental shifts that cause drift.
What amplification and cable setup is required to use the Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups?
A standard instrument cable and any guitar amplifier or audio interface with a high-impedance input will work; the TB-6 bridge and SH-6N neck pickups are passive and need no battery or active preamp.
Will the compound-radius ebony board and stainless steel frets feel familiar on a vintage-style neck I already own?
The 12-16 compound radius flattens toward the 24th fret, and the harder stainless steel frets give a glassier bend feel than traditional nickel-silver, so the neck profile differs from vintage rounder radii.
