Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for modern metal work, the American Series Soloist SL2MG combines a neck-through three-piece maple core with an alder solidbody for stability and sustain. Its active EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck humbuckers cover tight, aggressive rhythm sounds and warmer lead voices. The 12–16-inch compound ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets keep chord work near the nut and upper-register playing on one instrument. A Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo handles substantial pitch changes while retaining tuning stability.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Technical metal rhythm parts, extended lead passages, and substantial tremolo-bar pitch changes.
- Players who want a 24-fret, compound-radius ebony fingerboard for chord and upper-register work.
