The Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG merges the aggressive attitude of vintage metal with the precision of modern American craftsmanship. It's like a finely tuned race car in a sleek, six-stringed chassis — but without needing a pit crew.
For players who crave the bone-crushing punch of active pickups and the effortless glide of a compound radius neck, this instrument is a sonic sledgehammer built to inspire your fastest playing.
Built for Speed and Stability
While most guitars fight against your fingers, the Soloist works alongside them. Built with a premium alder body and a through-body maple neck, it delivers massive sustain and unwavering stability. You can bend, tap, and shred for hours without fighting the wood, allowing your hands to glide effortlessly across the board.
Graphite Reinforcement: The three-piece maple neck features hidden graphite rods, laughing in the face of temperature shifts and humidity so your setup stays perfectly straight.
Compound Radius Fingerboard: The 12”-16” rolled ebony board curves comfortably near the nut for tight chording, then flattens out up high for lightning-fast leads and massive bends that never choke out.
Jumbo Stainless-Steel Frets: Twenty-four nearly indestructible frets give you a glassy, friction-free surface for buttery vibrato and effortless, lightning-fast legato licks.
Tone That Cuts Through
Weak tone is completely unacceptable on stage. The American SL2MG changes the game with a brutally powerful pickup configuration that cuts right through the heaviest of live mixes. It’s armed with active electronics that deliver commanding punch while keeping every single note defined and articulate.
EMG 81/85 Humbuckers: The legendary metal pairing. The 81 at the bridge provides blistering cut and endless sustain, while the 85 in the neck offers thick, beefy tones for liquid solos.
Crystal Clear Clarity: Even under mountains of high-gain distortion, these pickups retain absolute note definition, which is a critical component for complex modern metal and technical riffing.
Streamlined Controls: A no-nonsense three-way blade pickup switch, single volume, and single tone knob let you harness this massive sonic horsepower without overcomplicating your rig.
Stage-Ready Hardware
Let us be brutally honest: cheap hardware makes or breaks a gig. This guitar features top-tier components that scream "pro gear," paying homage to Jackson's shredding roots while looking sharp under the blinding stage lights. It’s a meticulously engineered machine built to endure the most aggressive playing theatrics night after night.
Floyd Rose 1500 Tremolo: Dive-bomb into the abyss and squeal in harmonic heaven. This double-locking bridge system guarantees reliable tuning stability no matter how hard you abuse the whammy bar.
Luminlay Side Dots: Glow-in-the-dark markers provide exceptional fingerboard guidance, ensuring you never miss a critical fret shift even on the most pitch-black stages.
Fast Adjustments: A heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel allows for incredibly quick neck relief tweaks on the fly, saving you precious time during stressful soundchecks.
The Ultimate Shred Machine
The Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG is what happens when you stop worrying about fighting your instrument and just focus on melting faces. It captures the soul of the '80s shred revolution while offering the rock-solid reliability of top-tier Corona, California manufacturing. It’s a premium, high-performance guitar built exclusively for players who want to push the absolute limits of velocity and volume.

Flawless Fiddle!
I've only ever played Gibsons, Fenders and ESPs so hearing that Jackson put out an American soloist with EMGs, a Floyd Rose, and stainless-steel frets was exciting news. I ordered the black model, and it came in 2 days flat. The guitar is stunning out of the case (soft/hard) and has one of the faste...
