Jackson Pro Soloist SL2 Electric Guitar Metallic Black

Description
Dive and soar expressively with the Floyd Rose FRT-O2000 double-locking tremolo bridge, recessed for pick hand comfort and providing laser-accurate intonation and ultra-stable tuning when combined with the Floyd Rose R3 locking nut. Chosen specifically for their complementary sound, a pair of modern Seymour Duncan pickups drives this guitar’s versatile sound—a crisp JBTM TB4 humbucking bridge pickup and warm ‘59TM SH1N direct-mount humbucking neck pickup combine for highly balanced, flexible tone, with plenty of high output for pristine cleans and snarling distortion. Master volume and tone controls shape the pickups’ output, which can be further refined with the three- position pickup toggle switch for the precise voice required to bring your musical vision to life.
The 12”-16” compound radius fingerboard is designed for highly technical lightspeed playing—more curved by the nut for comfortable chording, it flattens out as you move up the speedy neck for increasingly fast playing speed and wide bends without fretting out. The ergonomic Soloist body shape is designed for player comfort and increased balance, eliminating the dread “neck dive” that has brought many a headstock to a sad, untimely end.
Jackson has a history of adding striking style to its high performance instruments, and this axe is no exception. The brooding all-black hardware wears well, refusing to show the rigors of the road it may encounter while the durable gloss finish, alumiloid piranha neck inlays, single ply neck binding and Jackson’s signature pointed 6-In-Line headstock establish this instrument’s unmistakable pedigree. Innovative, lightning fast, monstrous-sounding and more than easy on the eyes, the Pro Soloist SL2 is the perfect match for modern metal musicians. Case sold separately.

Sharp looking Soloist!

Pros- Great looking paint scheme! The ebony fret board is smooth. Nice low action out of the box. The Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups sound great. The Floyd Rose tremolo keeps the guitar in tune during dive bombs! Cons- The back of the neck is glossy, would have preferred a satin finish. Would have like to see a larger inlay at the 12th fret, one that goes across the whole width of the neck. Would like the neck to be thinner too.
Best ever!

I'm a better guitar player than I thought! Love the Action on this guitar. Good right out of the box, and the tech at guitar center offered to check it out for me before leaving with it. He made a couple small adjustments, but it seemed pretty much ready to go before that. He was very impressed with my pick of the SL2.

Can I have a description of the blemish??
Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing what the blemish is. However, it would only be a minor cosmetic flaw and would not effect the guitars play ability.
