Key Features
Take centre stage. This is one for the shredders. The Jackson Pro SL3R Soloist truly lives up to its name. From its sleek, maple neck, to its 24 jumbo frets, the SL3 has been designed with speed and accuracy at the top of its list. With a 12"-16" compound radius, your fingers will comfortably fly across the luxurious ebony fretboard, from the lowest, sludgy riff, to the most searing top-end solo. And its unique, mirrored finish will ensure you're always centre-stage.
Tone City. Population: You. Whether you want chunky, driving crunch, or silky-smooth leads, the SL3s Seymour Duncan pickups have you covered. Both the Duncan Distortion humbucker at the bridge and the pair of Custom Flat Strat single coils in the middle and neck slots have been hand-picked to produce a cohesive cacophony, with superb sustain and resonance. A top of the range, FR-1000 Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge makes the Pro SL3R a professional, road-ready riff machine that lives for the limelight.

It's all in the details. Every stage of the SL3's creation was aimed at one goal - outstanding tone. The choice of pickups is a key decision in any guitar build. With heavy rock and metal styles always at the forefront of their minds, Jackson went straight to the source - a full-bodied and versatile Seymour Duncan HSS setup.
They chose SD's Duncan Distortion model for the bridge. It's a high-output humbucker that's just made for metal and rock. With tight, punchy lows, outstanding top end clarity, and an upper midrange push that's ideal for crushing crunch and overdrive, it's easy to see why the Distortion model has remained unchanged for decades.
The Custom Flat-Strat single coils at the middle and neck positions, the SL3 really shows off its versatility. Chunky half-driven chords, singing, soulful leads, or chiming clean tones, the Flat Strat's lower-output has it all covered,
A neck for all occasions. While the Jackson Pro Soloist has been specifically crafted with fleet-fingered virtuoso playing in mind, its ebony fretboard's compound radius ensures comfortable chords lower down the neck too. So, what is a compound radius fingerboard? Every fingerboard is slightly humped down its centre, with flatter surfaces being ideal for shredding, and rounder ones more suited to barre chords and rhythm playing.
The SL3R's compound radius, in essence, means you get two for the price of one. At the nut end of the neck, the fingerboard has a tight, 12" radius, meaning it fits perfectly in your hand as you tear through riff after riff. Up at the neck joint, the radius is a much flatter 16", which is perfect for intricate sweep-picking, pinpoint-accurate tapping, and crystal-clear, soulful bends. Every base covered.
