iamqman « Great guitar »
Published on 10/05/11 at 19:22This is the Jackson soloist guitar with its pointy headstock and just ripe tone. This is almost like a custom shop guitar because it's a Jackson US production model but it's built so well that it almost feels like a custom shop guitar. It has a great feel and a great neck if you like a nice then necks of any good ripper shredder guitar. It features in alder body and a maple neck which is pretty standard for most instruments. You also get 24 fret switch allows you to really soul up in the high fret register. And my most favorite thing about this guitar is it it features a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker and a 59 humbucker in the neck. This is the most classic rock pickup combination that you can find in any guitar. This is pretty standard and most guys guitar instruments you play hard rock and metal.

SOUNDS
I love the tone of this guitar primarily because it has an alder body to maple neck with my two favorite pick ups installed. You can get some ripping tones with this guitar and couple that with a nice Floyd Rose tremolo system which makes this a great shredding guitar. The orange colors not my favorite but hey this is a great guitar if you can find it. The neck is very slim and tapered down and then pointed headstock is essential for someone who likes to shred.
OVERALL OPINION
You can find guitars right around $2000 which is a great price for an American made Jackson guitar. This is a nice guitar and a guitar that is pretty much set up right out-of-the-box. I has a great feel and a great neck and overall it's a perfect guitar for shredder or hard rock player.
