Jackson Guitars - Concept Series SL27

Description

Back by popular demand 27-fret production model in the form of the Jackson® Limited Edition Concept Series Soloist™ Arch Top Extreme SL27 EX.

Cloaked in a brooding gloss black finish with a color matched reverse pointed 6-in-line headstock and black hardware, this high-performance axe has an aggressively carved alder Soloist body with arched top and a through-body three-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement. Primed for energetic riffing near the nut or blazing leads and aggressive bends in the upper registers, the 12"-16" compound radius bound ebony fingerboard features 27 jumbo frets, a yellow sharkfin at the 12th fret and Luminlay® side dots.

The HS pickup configuration routing features direct mount Seymour Duncan® Distortion® TB-6 bridge and Seymour Duncan® Hot Rail SHR-1 neck pickups. Designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive, the Seymour Duncan has a perfect blend of power and tone - thick, boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. Boasting expressive pick attack and dynamics, the Hot Rail neck pickup provides deep and warm tone, but not muddy and is also hot without being distorted. Dial in the instrument's voice to taste with a three-way toggle switch, single volume control and single tone control, and radically dive bomb without going out of tune thanks to the Floyd Rose® 1000 series double-locking tremolo bridge system.

This assertive axe is finished off with Jackson® sealed die-cast tuners and locking strap buttons.
