Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG | Satin Black w/ Seymour Duncan MortalCoils

The Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG is inspired by the guitars that helped shape the golden era of shred and modern metal. Built on the legacy established in Southern California during the early 1980s, the Soloist became synonymous with players who demanded absolute precision, effortless speed, and uncompromising performance. From the technical brilliance of Randy Rhoads to the modern metal players who continue to push the instrument to its limits, the Soloist has remained one of Jackson's defining creations.

Finished in Satin Black, this particular build leans into understated confidence. The stealthy finish lets the iconic Soloist silhouette do the talking, while the neck through construction, rolled ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets, and premium hardware remind you that every detail was built for performance. The original EMG pickups have been replaced with a set of Seymour Duncan MortalCoil humbuckers, bringing an even broader tonal palette to the guitar. Push pull volume and tone controls unlock multiple pickup voices, ranging from crushing modern active tones to more traditional passive style humbucker sounds and articulate single coil textures, making this an incredibly versatile instrument without compromising its clean, factory appearance.

The moment you pick it up, everything feels effortless. The satin Speed Neck, rolled fingerboard edges, and stainless steel frets make even the most demanding passages feel fluid and natural. The neck through design gives every note remarkable sustain, while the Seymour Duncan Mortal Coils deliver crushing modern rhythm tones, articulate lead work, and exceptional note separation. Pull either control into passive mode and the guitar takes on an entirely different personality, opening the door to more dynamic cleans and classic rock textures. It is every bit the precision instrument the Soloist has always been, now with a broader tonal palette that makes it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or wherever inspiration strikes.
