For the passionate guitarist seeking a blend of classic craftsmanship and modern innovation, the American Series Soloist SL3 Electric Guitar in Riviera Blue is a testament to Jackson's four-decade-long dedication to high-performance musical instruments. Born in Southern California in 1980, Jackson pioneered the creation of guitars tailored to the unique needs of hard rock and metal virtuosos, and continues to lead the industry with their revolutionary designs.The American Series Soloist SL3, the first flagship product line crafted in Corona, is a shining example of Jackson's commitment to excellence. This guitar is more than just an instrument; it's a high-performance tool designed to inspire musicians worldwide.The SL3's body is constructed from alder, a wood known for its balanced and resonant tone. This is paired with a through-body three-piece maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods for ultimate stability. This design resists warping and bending caused by changes in temperature and humidity, ensuring consistent performance.The guitar's 12"-16" compound radius rolled ebony fingerboard, adorned with 24 jumbo frets and inverse mother of pearl sharkfin inlays, is engineered for high-speed, technical playing. The fingerboard curvature allows for comfortable chording near the nut, while flattening out up the neck for fast playing and smooth bends without fretting out. Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots offer exceptional guidance on even the darkest stages, and a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel allows for quick neck relief tweaks during performances.The SL3's HSS pickup configuration features a versatile set of Seymour Duncan pickups that deliver a powerful, balanced sound. The Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge pickup offers a hot-rodded attitude and a robust low end, while the Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 RWRP Single-Coil middle and Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 neck pickups provide a glassy treble tone and scooped mids, versatile across a multitude of genres.Harness the guitar's sonic horsepower with a five-way blade pickup switch and single volume and tone controls. Premium features like a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system, Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, and Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons ensure reliable tuning stability during even the most daring performances.Finished in a striking Riviera Blue with color-matched Jackson pointy headstocks and black hardware, the American Series Soloist SL3 Electric Guitar is a testament to Jackson's trademark metal style. This guitar is not just an instrument, but a symbol of Jackson's enduring legacy in the world of high-performance guitars.
