The Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA3Q electric guitar packs premium features into an expertly crafted instrument ready for aggressive lead playing. This Soloist model is equipped with a versatile pickup configuration of a Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucker and two Seymour Duncan single-coils, providing a multitude of tones from pristine cleans to searing distortion. Its compound radius ebony fingerboard has a comfortable curve near the nut for easy chording, flattening out up the neck for fast lead runs. A stable 3-piece maple/walnut neck construction resists bending, while the hand-rubbed oil finish lets your hand glide smoothly. Dive, soar and wail expressively with the Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo bridge, which delivers rock-solid tuning stability even under heavy use. The lightweight okoume body with a gorgeous arched quilt maple top produces impressive resonance you can feel.
Resonant Okoume Body with Quilt Maple Top
This Soloist guitar features a lightweight okoume body topped with a gorgeous arched quilt maple top. Okoume has a balanced, focused tone with excellent note separation that records very well. The elegant quilt maple top looks fantastic while adding snappy attack and impressive resonance you can feel through the body. Chambering inside the body further enhances vibration for superb acoustic tone and playing comfort.
Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Comfort and Speed
This Soloist guitar's compound radius ebony fingerboard is purpose-built for technical, high-speed playing. With a comfortable 12" curve near the nut, it flattens out to 16" up the neck for fast riffs, lightning solos and wide bends without fretting out. The smooth, hard ebony feels fantastic against your fingers while providing excellent note definition. Jumbo stainless steel frets add to the premium performance, giving you room to dig in and manipulate notes with precision. The hand-rubbed oil finish on the back of the neck maximizes smooth playability.
Stable 3-Piece Maple/Walnut Neck Resists Bending
The SLA3Q has a rock-solid 3-piece maple/walnut neck reinforced with graphite rods for unmatched stability. This resists bending and warping, maintaining consistent action and feel through changing temperatures and humidity. Jackson's comfortable Speed Neck profile provides a thin but rounded shape that's ideal for performance. Topped with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, this neck gives you the foundation for confident, precise playing and effortless shredding.
Versatile Pickup Configuration With Humbucker and Single-Coils
The Jackson Pro Plus Soloist SLA3Q guitar provides exceptional tonal versatility with its pickup configuration of a Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucker in the bridge position and two single-coil Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat pickups in the middle and neck positions. From glassy cleans to crunchy rhythms, snarling distortion and screaming leads, this combo lets you easily dial in just the right tone. The powerful Distortion humbucker roars with an aggressive attitude, while the single-coils produce clear, balanced tone with sparkling treble and scooped mids. Explore the nuances of each pickup's voice and find inspiring combinations using the 5-way blade switch.
Soar Expressively with Floyd Rose Tremolo Bridge
Equipped with a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo bridge, the Soloist SLA3Q lets you execute screaming dives, fluttering warbles and exacting tweaks with return-to-pitch accuracy. The Floyd Rose locking nut and bridge clamps down strings for rock-solid tuning stability under heavy use. Combined with the graphite-reinforced neck, this guitar stays in tune even when you're pushing the tremolo to its limits. The recessed bridge leaves room for pick-hand acrobatics.
