  • Jackson Senior Master Builder Mike Shannon talks about the history of this iconic instrument, the Jackson Soloist.
    In 2014, Jackson commemorated 30 years of sonic mayhem with the 30th Anniversary Soloist. This masterbuilt limited-run homage to the godfather of high-performance guitars is the perfect combination of past and present, with features that evoke the Soloist's debut year of 1984 and contemporary Jackson design elements.

    About Jackson:
    Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines-highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal’s chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

      Question and wish that the company to ask questions first off why jackson guitar made in late 70s but was big yet until the 80s and 90s and why many extreme metal not glam but death and black deathcore blackened death and more use them for extreme stuff then telecaster but slipknot used them also why at first be I the creators and company’s invent them from Southern California where the glam of beaches and deserts and movies and video games we need it more safe and positive not being criminals in or see racial stereotypes like this Noel actor he keeps playing criminals he should regret the roles of Latino stuff it was a example so why John singleton and David Ayer and Quentin Tarantino which one is from Knoxville and the other Illinois. Also why some famous instrument inventions for pioneers invent in that stage just asking I thought why not wait to see tel there later and be invent imagine the south with the origin of rock music or blues and not sure why we don’t see hip hop start there instead Bronx if go back in time. Or maybe Midwest origins of elicited guitar or bass or drums and microphones

That guitar has the same feel as my previous. The action is great, the strings sit right on the fretboard and she plays like a dream..... I will soon order a new custom shop soloist... what incredible instruments....

    I so love Jackson! Jackson and Charvel are my go to guitars nowadays. And that's saying something from a guy who build two of his own Telecasters for a specific rock and country sound. When I first touched a superstrat, I instantly switched to metal. And a Fender Deluxe strat is nice! But then I go a Charvel and very shortly after a Jackson and dude... Jackson and a very close second Charvel really give you the best handeling because a superb neck design.
    It's like a Jackson was made for my relatively small hands.

      It's prestige, if the prestige is important for somebody to have one of the 30 pieces limited edition 30th Anniversary Custom Shop Jackson Soloist. And if anyone want a close to same model, searching for a real 80s Jackson soloist about ~1200-2200$. I think it's not ultra hard to possibble. Or an early 90s Soloist Pro.

    Why the crazy price tag? this soloist is just the same as the model 6 charvel or 650 or 750.. and what does cost 5K in a simple construction of alder and maple? marketing i guess and pay off the american labour?
