Fusing elite speed, surgical precision and massive tonal versatility, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SLA2 HT is the definitive modern shredder’s tool. Its thru-body, three-piece maple/walnut neck is reinforced with graphite for unwavering stability and long-lasting sustain, while the 12–16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard provides a lightning-fast surface for effortless leads and wide, choke-free bends. The arched nyatoh body is meticulously contoured to hug the player, ensuring maximum comfort through the most demanding sets. Loaded with direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB/'59 humbuckers, this premium Soloist delivers a pro-level palette ranging from searing, high-output leads to crystalline cleans. Anchored by a rock-solid Jackson HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge, the SLA2 HT is a high-performance powerhouse built for the stage.
Arched Nyatoh Body and Neck-Thru Design for Maximum Comfort and Sustain
The Soloist SLA2 HT’s sculpted nyatoh body features deep contours that let it rest naturally against the player, while the three-piece maple/walnut neck-thru construction maximizes resonance, sustain and long-term stability. Graphite reinforcement rods embedded in the neck protect against warping or bending caused by temperature and humidity changes. A hand-rubbed oil finish on the back enhances tactile feel, allowing effortless movement across all 24 jumbo frets. Together, these elements provide a balanced, responsive playing experience that keeps pace with lightning-fast runs, complex chords and demanding technical passages.
Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Precision
The bound ebony fingerboard features a 12–16" compound radius designed for maximum versatility. Near the nut, the tighter 12" curve allows comfortable chord work, while the 16" radius toward the upper frets flattens out for blazing solos, wide bends and technical runs without fretting out. Jumbo stainless-steel frets provide smooth, reliable action and intonation across all 24 frets, while pearloid piranha tooth inlays add visual flair. Luminlay side dots glow subtly in low-light conditions, keeping your position reference clear. The result is a fingerboard that supports speed, accuracy and expressive freedom, whether you’re executing precise licks or full-scale technical passages.
Seymour Duncan Humbuckers for Aggressive Leads and Warm Cleans
The SLA2 HT is equipped with direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB bridge and ’59 neck humbuckers, delivering a broad tonal palette that covers everything from searing high-gain leads to warm, articulate cleans. The JB bridge offers punchy mids and tight low end, perfect for driving riffs and expressive soloing, while the ’59 neck adds smooth, vintage-inspired warmth for chord work or melodic passages. A single volume and tone control, combined with a five-position blade switch, allows coil-splitting and precise blending, giving players the flexibility to dial in nuanced tones across genres. Whether shredding, soloing or laying down tight rhythm parts, the SLA2 HT’s HH configuration provides clarity, definition and a dynamic, responsive voice at every fret.
Jackson HT6 Hardtail Bridge and Premium Hardware for Rock-Solid Stability
The SLA2 HT is anchored by a Jackson HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge, delivering exceptional tuning stability, precise intonation and a direct, resonant feel under the fingers. This fixed-bridge design enhances sustain and attack, making it ideal for players who demand consistency and accuracy across the full 25.5" scale length. Jackson sealed die-cast locking tuners ensure smooth, reliable tuning, while dome-style control knobs provide intuitive access to volume and tone. Finished with understated black hardware, the SLA2 HT presents a clean, aggressive aesthetic that matches its focused, performance-driven design.
