Description
Slipknot lead guitarist Mick Thomson is one of metal’s most successful and
revered players. His game changing, take-no-prisoners approach to metal
guitar has influenced countless musicians worldwide, while his black
hole-heavy de-tuned guitar sound has been an integral part of Slipknot for
more than two decades.
Designed to withstand his acclaimed aggressive technique and tone, the Pro
Series Signature Mick Thomson Soloist SL2 is a sinister axe loaded with
high-quality features including a bound mahogany body coupled with a graphite
reinforced through-body one-piece maple neck —carved to a custom super-thin
profile for maximum comfort and high- speed playability, and a
12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard with 24 frets and block
side dots.
This signature Soloist is powered by a pair of Mick Thomson signature
Seymour Duncan Blackouts to complement the complex, crushing riffs Thomson
plays in dropped tunings. The EMTY bridge pickup offers the energy and output
of the original Blackouts but with Thomson’s custom voicing to emphasize the
percussive chunk of palm-muted notes. Designed for crystal clear clean tones,
the EMTY neck pickup can also produce more aggressive mids and increased
sustain for high-speed solos and ominous melodic interludes when you crank up
the gain.
Other features include a Jackson MTB HT6 hardtail bridge and locking nut
for laser-accurate intonation and ultra-stable tuning, a single volume
control, three-way blade switch and a recessed barrel jack.
Beastly sounding with classic style, Thomson’s signature Pro SL2 is
available in either Black with white binding or in Arctic White with black
binding, along with a matching reverse pointed 6-in-line headstock and black
hardware.
