Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Jackson builds this right-handed American Series Soloist in Corona, California around an alder body and a graphite-reinforced, three-piece maple neck that extends through the body. Its rolled ebony board moves from a 12-inch radius at the nut to 16 inches higher up, pairing lower-position chord work with a flatter area for fast lines and broad bends. A JB TB-4 at the bridge and '59 SH-1N at the neck feed a five-way selector with split-coil choices, while the fixed Hipshot bridge and locking tuners keep the setup focused on hardtail performance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Technical rehearsals and stage sets requiring fast upper-fret runs, wide bends, and quick pickup changes.
- Dimly lit performance environments where Luminlay side dots help locate positions on the neck.
- Players who want a fixed-bridge Soloist with humbuckers and selectable split-coil settings.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed guitar.
- Players seeking a tremolo-equipped guitar; it uses a fixed Hipshot bridge.
