Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 Electric Guitar - Red Crystal

Fusing elite speed, surgical precision and massive tonal versatility, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 is the definitive modern shredder’s tool. Its thru-body, three-piece maple/walnut neck is reinforced with graphite for unwavering stability and long-lasting sustain, while the 12–16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard provides a lightning-fast surface for effortless leads and wide, choke-free bends. The arched nyatoh body is meticulously contoured to hug the player, ensuring maximum comfort through the most demanding sets. Loaded with direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB/'59 humbuckers, this premium Soloist delivers a pro-level palette ranging from searing, high-output leads to crystalline cleans. Completed by a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo and offered in a suite of striking finishes, the SLA2 is a high-performance powerhouse built for the stage.

Arched Nyatoh Body and Neck-Thru Design for Maximum Comfort and Sustain

The SLA2’s sculpted nyatoh body features deep contours that let it rest naturally against the player, while the three-piece maple/walnut neck-thru construction maximizes resonance, sustain and long-term stability. Graphite reinforcement rods embedded in the neck protect against warping or bending caused by temperature and humidity changes. A hand-rubbed oil finish on the back enhances tactile feel, allowing effortless movement across all 24 jumbo frets. Together, these elements provide a balanced, responsive playing experience that keeps pace with lightning-fast runs, complex chords and demanding technical passages.

Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Precision

The bound ebony fingerboard features a 12–16" compound radius designed for maximum versatility. Near the nut, the tighter 12" curve allows comfortable chord work, while the 16" radius toward the upper frets flattens out for blazing solos, wide bends and technical runs without fretting out. Jumbo stainless-steel frets provide smooth, reliable action and intonation across all 24 frets, while pearloid piranha tooth inlays add visual flair. Luminlay side dots glow subtly in low-light conditions, keeping your position reference clear. The result is a fingerboard that supports speed, accuracy and expressive freedom, whether you’re executing precise licks or full-scale technical passages.

Seymour Duncan Humbuckers for Aggressive Leads and Warm Cleans

The Soloist SLA2 is equipped with direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB bridge and ’59 neck humbuckers, delivering a broad tonal palette that covers everything from searing high-gain leads to warm, articulate cleans. The JB bridge offers punchy mids and tight low end, perfect for driving riffs and expressive soloing, while the ’59 neck adds smooth, vintage-inspired warmth for chord work or melodic passages. A single volume and tone control for each pickup, combined with a five-position blade switch, allows coil-splitting and precise blending, giving players the flexibility to dial in nuanced tones across genres. Whether shredding, soloing or laying down tight rhythm parts, the SLA2’s HH configuration provides clarity, definition and a dynamic, responsive voice at every fret.

Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo and Premium Hardware for Stage-Ready Reliability

The SLA2’s recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system and locking nut provide unmatched tuning stability, even under aggressive whammy dives, flutter effects and wide bends. Jackson-branded sealed die-cast tuners provide smooth, precise adjustments for accurate intonation across the 25.5" scale. Dome-style control knobs offer intuitive access to volume and tone, while the understated black hardware complements the sleek gloss finish for a cohesive, high-end look. This combination of premium appointments guarantees that the SLA2 performs reliably while maintaining an aggressive, eye-catching aesthetic suited for the modern guitarist.

The Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 balances technical innovation, player-focused design and bold visual style. Its reinforced neck, compound-radius ebony fingerboard and ergonomic body allow lightning-fast runs and precise articulation, while Seymour Duncan pickups and a Floyd Rose tremolo provide tonal flexibility and reliable tuning.
