- Trying out the new Jackson American Series Soloist SL2MG. Is it worth the price? Let's find out!
DISCLAIMER: Fender/Jackson did send this guitar for free me to check out, but they know I still say whatever I want about the guitar in the video. I'm not getting paid to make a demo, and the guitar gets sent back after the demo has been made!

This IS an expensive guitar indeed... but it's also SWEET as hell
Sometimes you get what you pay for. Thats why I rock Solar, Epiphone, and Jackson. I like value for the buck. Jackson’s never disappoints.
@@aaronhiggs Schecter is another brand that's a bang for the buck.
I picked one up for myself, what an excellent instrument. High quality and very much worth the cost!
@@aaronhiggsdont forget schecter for bang for buck
Ordering Monday 😮
Come on Jackson! At that price we need a Floyd Original!
Solar needs more EMG-equipped guitars. There's quite a number of us that like actives but don't like the Fishmans.
Here here! I have an EMG 81 and 85 equipped Ibanez RGT6EXFX. Love em'
That orange color is sooo vibrant and pretty. Great review, Ola.
@OlaEnglund I swear your demos are spot on!! I enjoy these so much! Kudos and thank you my friend! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The lack of binding and price 😢
This Lambo Orange is amazing. Jackson is back with great guitars 👏
Cool guitar. Love the color options. but $2600 is way too much. Without a hardcase? Pffft.
Finally a Jackson with Stainless Steel Frets. This guitar ticks all of the metal boxes. I would only take out the tone pot and move that volume away from near the bridge pickup. Then place a killswitch button where the volume was. Expensive? Yes! Expected? Also Yes!
anything "modern" near the 2k mark should have stainless. if it's "vintage" i guess you can argue they can be nickle, but anything that expensive not pretending to be vintage needs stainless.
@@mariek6993 I totally agree. Any pro series or above from Jackson always disappointed me about having nickel frets. I was about to buys a Pro Series at one point but hesitated until I heard back from Jackson that the fret were nickel. I took it right out of the cart.
Thanks, Ola. I honestly was ogling the green hardtail, but that orange is growing on me as well.
Guitar looks and sounds F'ing killer. Those EMG's thump ! Great demo Ola .
I had never been a Jackson fan before. I now must have have this guitar! Wow unreal! Nice work Ola and what a killer looking and sounding guitar
i've been playing jackson for as long as i can remember, and they are just getting better and better!!!! Jackson for life!!!!
The guitar is slick...although it's expensive. I'd buy one. love the riff Ola..awesome video as always
Ola is flexing on us again, with a cool new guitar and his awesome playing.
Awesome demo as always ola.
I got a new Jackson Pro Plus DKA 3 weeks ago in the Metallic Black with the SS frets and I like it even more than my mid 2000 Made In USA HSS Soloist.. I wasn't even going to play it today but after watching this you know the deal. Thats a kick ass color Ola and excellent playing as always !
So glad to see EMGS again !
Dude, that opening riff was sick!
That solo section in the demo was SWEET. Perfect for showing off the Jackson
What a stunning guitar! And it sounds epic 👏
I have the old made in japan version sl2 with sd pickups and its badass.. jacksons rock
That Intro was stunning!
Just bought this guitar. It’s sick! Been wanting a Jackson for a long time and finally found the one that checked all the boxes.
Sweet, and great demo
Jackson are very nice usually, not seen the new ones but have a RR1 USA from the 1990's and a Custom Shop V String bass both are real gems.
Very nice demo dude, very nice.
The army green fixed bridge version is on my short list. I'm super happy with the Hipshot fixed option and the use of EMG's. Although I will switch the pickup positions as I prefer the 85 in the bridge pisition.
85 in the bridge in all my guitars. So underrated in that position.
@@Dan_Ranger, I think it's the biggest inside secret with EMG pickups. The 85 in the bridge is bad ass.
@@BazonBladesAgreed. In a live setting it’s like a JB on steroids. Good enough for early Killswitch and Andy James. Reb Beach still using it 💪
@@Dan_Ranger, It definitely has a certain thickness to it that really works for bridge position rhythm work. And I even like it for a bridge position lead tone. It doesn't get thin like an 81 can.
Don't get an hardtail Jackson, it will have horrible tuning stability because of the very angled strings on the nut.
i love Jackson's ! good review
One of my dream guitars. I grew up in Corona
I have the American Series Soloist SL2MG HT in matte army drab ordered. Looking forward to playing it!
I bought the same one almost a week ago. You are going to absolutely love that guitar.
The best colour. Just don't play it outside, you might lose it. Dad joke
The Jackson headstock are really bad without locking nut though, way too much angle on the first strings.
Yeah, I'll definitely be getting the matte black one.
I think I would prefer richlite fretboards on these. I just love the look of the shark inlays on a jet-black fretboard.
Krásná kytara hutnej zvuk.Super video.Palec nahoru.
Excellent demo! I got 7 Jackson guitars and they are all great. I want more
Давай одну из них менять на мой Ibanez RG2520 Prestige Made in Japan с пассивными EMG?) Я тоже очень хочу Jackson🙏🏼
Played one of these at the store the other week. I wanted to love the SL3, I love HSS, but I didn't really like playing any. This on the other hand felt incredible, not sure if it was just the setup or what. The finish is also way cooler in person for the lambo color.
I just got the a2.6 neon orange i love it few adjustments were made to the neck and saddle but overall looks great please make more neon orange never in stock people love it
Jackson and Solar are my favourite brands
That intro song groove damn
Great vid ola😊🤘🤘🤘
The way I decide what actives to put im my guitars depends on the tuning I play on that guitar....anything over a Drop D I go with EMG 81 for the great low end....anthing C# or lower I use Fishman Moderns for that insane mid range because I think they severely lack in low end fq
Great review Ola, however those string angles are not as much of a problem for tuning stability IF the nut is properly filed and make of good material
That tone is brutal
Was hoping for some Bolt Thrower riffs! Nice shirt btw Ola!
Bolt Thrower shirt! One of the heaviest bands I've heard. Very good!
Nice! Mann beautiful guitar!
I've got an Indonesian Soloist and it is easily one of the coolest guitars I own. But then all of my guitars are one of the coolest guitars I own too. 😄 Love the Bolt Thrower shirt. I have to have one!
Awesome intro song! 🎸🎶😌
⭐⭐⭐cool ola..jackson guitar⭐⭐⭐and BOLT THROWER🎸🎸🎸🎸. 👍😁🇧🇷
SICK GUITAR I LOVE THAT COLOR
What a beauty!
Marty Friedman was the guy that made me buying a Jackson Dinky Pro back in 1994. Endured to this days. Still plays so amazing!
Jackson and Charvel brands, now in the hands of Fender, are getting better and better and better.
Very good axe! EMG...for those hatters...Try those in real scenario and forget names and if it is active or passive. Just try and play well. These pickups are a part of music history. Enjoy!
If I had the money I'd buy...yesterday!
I need to try one of these.
I love that color
bought my Charvel/Jackson 475 Deluxe LTD Edition Black/Silver Crackle finish in 1989..... been my mainstay guitar since and used on all tours - love it to this day... no other guitar can beat the neck... you can work on this neck as in allows for serious playing... another note it NEVER goes out of tune even with the floating bridge and wammy
yup active circuitry
Right on, I'm a '91 Dinky original owner, it's not in original condition, but neither am I. It'l be mine until I'm gone, for the exact reasons you mention!
Id love a Type V or X in that color
So needs to pick one up soon
Your Videos are legend. Greetings from Germany!❤
It is a beauty
I don’t see any reason why they can’t get an original Floyd on that thing for that price…… Somehow ESP does it on the Eii’s and they’re in the same price point. I paid less for a USA select SL2 that absolutely blows that guitar away, has an original Floyd and a flame maple top. At least they added stainless frets with this iteration I guess.
Luv my mid 2000s Japanese Jackson Dinky loaded with dual EMG 89s, Afterburner, RPC. Looking to add a Gotoh Floyd soon.
Man! This color reminds me of 80s glam metal bands. LOL. What an amazing guitar!
Remember ' Racer X'
Jackson has the best necks. So perfect for me.
Nice demo video.
It looks great. VIBRANT is the word.
Hell yeah 🤘🏻
Expensive as hell.
That color is god tier
So other than USA made, what has this to offer over a expensive solar?
With Evertune and maybe one string more i press the buy button. Great color and looking baby!
It's pretty sweet.
To be honest I would love to buy a Solar X-Series in classic gloss black, Floyd Rose and EMGs - could be also the passiv HZ H4, it doesn't matter!
EMGs are the goats. Pursue conflict with me.
I love it 💯🎸💪
Well, it is expensive indeed! For what seems to be a fairly ordinary looking axe. I guess it is always down to personal preference and a neck through is always dearer but.....for that price you can get a lot more of a guitar from other brands, same, or better, specs and a figured top to finish it off.
Nice demo bro 🤟👽
I love it ❤
Buy a used USA Select Jackson and have a true top of the line for the same price.
Cry more
I want the army green hardtail . Its my favorite new jackson anyway . I suck at Floyd's
Nice.
At today's price points for a U.S. made guitar of that quality $2600 is not that bad...... Deans US custom shop guitars are 4k and Dean Zelinskys new line of Dime Guitars are gonna be $6500 for the US custom shops.....
looks like a Metallic Fiesta Red or something. I love the colour. Fruitty Fucking Tutti.
Love it ! ☮️💜😊🇺🇸
4:17 You just have to invert the string passing by the tuners: 6th&5th under, 4-1st over.
Yep I want to buy one!but with jeff loomis pick ups
💯💯💯
Hey Ola, when you compare it with Virtuoso that you reviewed, is there a very big difference ? What is your opinion there? Thanks again for the review. 🙂
OLA what are you using for sounds? Fractal?
thanks man..great meeting you at NAMM - -
$2,500 - approx - US $ - TOTALLY worth it... I bought 2 GJ2 guitars (Grover Jackson. aka...Jackson) for $2,000 - Currently priced at $7,500. an SL2H I almost bought 10 years ago for $1,500 is now priced at over $3,500.. but it's not how much they appreciate ( although we can all appreciate that) they're true quality guitars. you mentioned they're out of the custom shop in Corona, CA - they should print ' made in usa' like they used to..but, it's fender..so what can you do.
I've ALWAYS loved the SL2H's...not familiar with the MG -
jackson should have more reverse headstock.
That’s why I picked up a dk3xr. I love that reverse headstock. It’s sick.
I highly agree
Yes !
Dinkys have more reversed headstocks. This is a soloist which most of them would be customs to have a reversed stock.
🤘🏻💀🤘🏻🎸
Nothing beats a guitar manufacturere reviewing a guitar manufacturer.
A schecter sls frs elite has 24 stainless steel jumbo frets and a fr 1500 and a sustainiac with a fishman pickup combo for about 1500 bucks
Bolt thrower shirt. Awesome
Costs over 2 grand and comes with a Korean Floyd.
Sure Jackson......
I'll rather get a Vola Aries or an Ibanez RG550 Genesis.
I bought that Indonesian version of soloist and returned it. It was badly damaged from factory. Paintjob, screws on tuners, hole for Floyd rose, all damaged. I was so crushed 😀 On the other hand, my Solar type E with Floyd is super good. Once I clean contact in pick up selector switch (bad signal on bridge pick up), it will be pure joy. Thank You Ola for awesome guitar and videos. I´m really considering S by Solar now.
ola, do a shoot out between the FM9 turbo and the quad cortex
This is the first time I've seen a guitar coming with Gotoh parts from the factory
It almost has a copper quality to it when the metallic flakes come thru with the right lighting
Sehr geil! Fetter Klang!👍🎸
This is like 3600 Canadian. Sucks. Beautiful tho.. clean.
I love that finish.
Gotoh tuner and EMGs, a neck thru design but they put a 1500 bridge on it?
Ya, I agree.
That's probably the first guitar I've seen in ages that I'd actually consider buying. Oh no it's 2K eeee. I'd probably just buy an RG and fit EMG 81/85's.
