A shred-ready axe to its very core, Jackson’s Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA3 delivers the highest level of playability and sonic flexibility. This guitar begins with a Soloist-standard neck-through maple/walnut construction for nearly endless sustain, complete with lightweight okoume wings for enhanced clarity and tonal balance. A Seymour Duncan-powered HSS trio of a bridge-position TB-6 Distortion humbucker and two Flat Strat SSL-6 single-coil pickups supply everything from all-out crunch to subtle clean characters. And when paired with Floyd Rose 1000-series tremolo, squealing leads are easy to achieve. Lastly, it wouldn’t be a Soloist without a supremely playable neck — the Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA3’s Jackson Speed Neck Profile, 12–16-inch radius ebony fingerboard, and 24 stainless steel frets complete the package, all adding up to a seriously formidable 6-string that’s poised to take on even the most fervent fretwork.
The Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA3's trio of Seymour Duncan pickups is ready for anything your gig can throw at you. The bridge Duncan Distortion TB-6 humbucker delivers crunch and clarity, perfect for driving your amp’s input. In neck and middle positions, you’ll find a pair of Duncan Flat Strat single-coils, reverse wound like a traditional S-style for hum cancellation, to unlock those coveted blues and rock tones. At Sweetwater, we’ve found that this versatile pickup configuration delivers an abundance of useful tones.
For the performance-minded guitarist who skates around the fingerboard’s entire range, a compound-radius fingerboard is a must-have. Fittingly, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA3’s neck-through maple/walnut neck boasts an ebony fingerboard wearing a 12–16-inch fingerboard radius. It’s a spec that offers comfortable chording down at the nut end of the neck, while the flatter plane found in the upper register allows for even the most extreme multi-step bends without a hint of fret out. What’s more, the Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA3’s neck comes complete with 24 stainless steel frets that are all but impervious to wear and tear.
A Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo tailpiece unlocks squeals and dives in the Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA3 without the tuning headache. This system is materially and dimensionally identical to Floyd Rose’s classic German-built trems, providing you with the same immersive, responsive playability that has made the Floyd Rose Original the industry-standard tremolo system for shred-style solidbody electric guitars.
