Discover USA-built high-performance metal design with the Jackson American Series Soloist SL2 HT - Matte Army Drab, available at Irvine Art and Music. Crafted for speed, stability, and powerful modern tone, this American Series Soloist pairs neck-through construction, an ebony compound-radius fingerboard, EMG humbuckers, and premium fixed-bridge hardware in a bold Matte Army Drab finish.

American Series Soloist Performance

The Soloist SL2 HT is built around an alder Soloist body and through-body maple neck construction for a solid, responsive playing platform. Graphite reinforcement adds extra neck stability, making this guitar a serious choice for players who need dependable performance through rehearsals, recording sessions, and aggressive live sets.

Fast Ebony Fingerboard

A 12"–16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard gives the guitar a comfortable feel for lower-position chords while flattening out higher on the neck for fast leads and wide bends. With 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets, Luminlay side dots, and inverse mother-of-pearl sharkfin inlays, the SL2 HT is designed for speed, precision, and clear stage visibility.

EMG Power and Hardtail Stability

The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 85 neck pickup deliver a focused, high-output voice for tight rhythms, saturated leads, and modern heavy tones. A Hipshot fixed bridge, Gotoh MG-T locking tuners, and Dunlop locking strap buttons complete the performance-focused setup with strong tuning stability and road-ready reliability.
