General
The Jackson SL2Q Transparent Red is a guitar with a beautiful transparent red top made of quilted maple and is ideal for advanced and professional metal guitarists. The popular Soloist models are always fitted with the classic double cutaway which in this case is made of alder wood in order to get a full sound. The neck extends through the entire length of the body which results in more sustain. The SL2Q also has an ebony fretboard for a tight, resonating sound.
Comfortable expression with the SL2Q
Of course, the pickups of a guitar are also very important. The pickups of the renowned brand Seymour Duncan take care of a range of sounds that vary from warm and vintage (the SH-1N) to powerful and fierce (the famous TB-4). A stable Floyd Rose tremolo provides you with the necessary tone-bending expression. Lastly, the slim Speed Neck, jumbo frets and compound radius-fretboard make this a very comfortable instrument to play.
Jackson Guitars
The renowned American brand Jackson Guitars was founded in 1980 by Grover Jackson and rose to fame with its customised V-guitar for Randy Rhoads. Today, many famous guitarists play a Jackson. Jackson guitars have an elegant design, a sharp headstock, shark fin position markers and a powerful sound which is perfect for metal and hard rock. The Pro Series features many of the specifications of the handmade USA series, but comes at a much more affordable price.
