Full Description

Born in Southern California in 1980, Jackson was the first brand to embrace the needs of hard rock and metal virtuosos by providing instruments with feature sets that catered to high-velocity playing.

Jackson has continued to revolutionize its high-performance craft over the last 40 years, while dominating the metal landscape as the industry's leading shred machines. The Jackson American Series is the next chapter in Jackson's storied legacy, marking the first made-in-Corona flagship product line for the brand.

Equipped with all the essential attributes, the American Series Soloist™ SL2MG leads the way in establishing a new standard in the premium high-performance category as it inspires players across the globe.

The American SL2's alder body is matched with a sustain-enhancing through-body three-piece maple neck that has a pair of graphite-reinforcement rods for the ultimate stability to resist temperature- and humidity-induced bending and warping. Hosting 24 jumbo stainless steel frets and inverse mother of pearl sharkfin inlays, the 12"-16" compound radius rolled ebony fingerboard is designed for highly technical lightspeed playing - more curved by the nut for comfortable chording, it flattens out up the neck for increasingly fast playing and bends without fretting out. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional fingerboard guidance even on the darkest stages, while a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel allows for quick neck relief tweaks on the fly.

Powered by a pair of brawny EMG® 81 and EMG 85 humbucking pickups, this brutally powerful instrument delivers commanding punch while retaining clarity with enhanced note definition, a critical component for modern metal. Harness the sonic horsepower with a versatile three-way blade pickup switch and single volume and tone controls. Other premium features include a Floyd Rose® 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system for reliable tuning stability throughout daring and aggressive playing theatrics, Gotoh® MG-T locking tuners and Dunlop® dual-locking strap buttons.

Designed with our trademark metal style, the American Series Soloist SL2MG comes in Satin Black, Satin Lambo Orange and Matte Army Drab finishes with color matched Jackson pointy headstocks and black hardware.

I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
