collapse expand iconDescription

This high-performance ax is designed to push the boundaries of speed, sound and innovation. At its core is an alder body paired with a 3-piece maple neck for enhanced sustain and rock-solid stability, reinforced by graphite rods. The 12-16" compound radius rolled ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets is engineered for fluid fretting and shredding at breakneck speeds.

Seymour Duncan Pickups Deliver Power and Versatility

The SL3's pickup configuration packs a punch with a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge pickup that churns out hot distortion and a mighty low end. The Seymour Duncan SSL-6 middle and neck pickups radiate glassy highs and scooped mids, adept at genres from rock to jazz. A 5-way blade switch, volume and tone controls put the reins of this tonal range in your hands.

Floyd Rose Bridge Anchors Your Sound

A Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge provides rock-solid tuning stability for radical dive bombs, squeals and warbles. With a locking nut and bridge, strings remain securely in tune even under heavy manipulation.

Visibility Day or Night

Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots illuminate the ebony fingerboard to guide your fretting in any light conditions. A heel-mounted truss rod adjustment wheel allows for quick neck relief tweaks on the go.

Iconic Style, Modern Playability

The SL3 comes in 4 striking finishes with matching pointy Jackson headstocks and black hardware: Gloss Black, Platinum Pearl, Riviera Blue or Satin Slime Green. Other premium features include Gotoh MG-T locking tuners and Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons. Built for today's players but with a nod to the '80s, the American Series Soloist SL3 inspires at every turn.
