Striking top design
Sculpted with a captivating quilt maple top, the SLA3Q is designed with a touch of elegance to its overall aesthetic. Its beautiful grain patterns and vibrant figuring of the quilt maple create a visually stunning look that is sure to turn heads. Not only does the maple contribute to the guitar's eye-catching appearance, but it also enhances the instrument's resonance and sustain, providing richer and more balanced tones. Add a touch of class and sophistication to your playing experience.
Sculpted for sleek, smooth, and stylish playability
Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this Jackson boasts a solid body made from okoume, a tonewood known for its balanced tonal characteristics. Elegantly contoured with the iconic Soloist design, this guitar allows for easy access to the upper frets and comfortable playability. What's more, coating this guitar is a silky-smooth gloss finish, which not only enhances its visual appeal but also offers added protection against scratches and wear, ensuring that your instrument looks great for years to come.
The neck of the SLA3Q is constructed from a combination of maple/walnut/maple, creating a strong and stable foundation for your playing. Its neck-through-body design, coupled with graphite reinforcement, ensures optimal sustain and resonance, while the oiled finish provides a smooth and fast fretting, allowing your hand to effortlessly glide along the ebony fingerboard. With a vintage compound fingerboard radius of 12-16", you are provided with the perfect balance between chording and soloing, and adorned on this are twenty-four jumbo stainless-steel frets, offering superb playability and durability.
Hot humbucking and sizzling single coils
Equipped with Seymour Duncan pickups, the Soloist delivers a wide range of tones to suit any musical genre. Its bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6, offering high-output and aggressive harmonics perfect for heavy riffing and shredding. The middle and neck pickups, on the other hand, are Seymour Duncan Flat Strat SSL-6 single-coils, providing crystal-clear and versatile harmonics. With the 5-position blade switch, you can easily navigate between different pickup configurations, while the volume and tone controls allow for precise sound shaping.
