The Jackson name has always been synonymous with state-of-the-art guitar technology, and the company continues to lead the way in crafting instruments that exceed the demands of today's most discerning players. Melding modern materials and construction with molten metal style, the Jackson Pro Plus Series Soloist SL2 Crackle features a brand-new explosive Bruised Crackle finish. A customized paint job at this price point is unreal, but Jackson delivers with these new intricate crackle finishes. No two crackle finishes react the same, making every axe as unique as the artist playing it. Stainless steel jumbo frets is a significantly harder and smoother material than nickel-silver, giving them extreme durability and a glassy playing feel making bending a breeze.
