Jackson - Pro Series Signature Mick Thomson Soloist™ SL2 - Arctic White
Slipknot lead guitarist Mick Thomson is one of metal’s most successful and revered players. His game changing, take-no-prisoners approach to metal guitar has influenced countless musicians worldwide, while his black hole-heavy de-tuned guitar sound has been an integral part of Slipknot for more than two decades.
Designed to withstand his acclaimed aggressive technique and tone, the Pro Series Signature Mick Thomson Soloist™ SL2 is a sinister axe loaded with high-quality features including a bound mahogany body coupled with a graphite reinforced through-body three-piece maple neck—carved to a custom super-thin profile for maximum comfort and high-speed playability, and a 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard with 24 frets and block side dots.
This signature Soloist is powered by a pair of Mick Thomson signature Seymour Duncan® Blackouts to complement the complex, crushing riffs Thomson plays in dropped tunings. The EMTY bridge pickup offers the energy and output of the original Blackouts but with Thomson’s custom voicing to emphasize the percussive chunk of palm-muted notes. Designed for crystal clear clean tones, the EMTY neck pickup can also produce more aggressive mids and increased sustain for high-speed solos and ominous melodic interludes when you crank up the gain.
Other features include a Jackson MTB HT6 hardtail bridge and locking nut for laser-accurate intonation and ultra-stable tuning, a single volume control, three-way blade switch and a recessed barrel jack.
Beastly sounding with classic style, Thomson’s signature Pro SL2 is available in either Gloss Black with white binding or in Arctic White with black binding, along with a matching reverse pointed 6-in-line headstock and black hardware.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Compound-radius fretboard optimized for both comfortable chording and effortless soloing. One of the fastest, slimmest neck profiles in the guitar industry. High-output humbuckers delivering tight, articulate distortion for aggressive music. Purpose-built for speed, precision, and technical playing since 1980.
The compound-radius fretboard is your best friend for legato runs - start with .009 gauge strings to build speed, then graduate to .010s once your fingers are comfortable. The fretboard rewards both chord shapes and solo runs equally.
Jackson and Ibanez guitars are purpose-built for players whose music demands speed and precision. The slim neck and compound-radius fretboard let your fingers fly without mechanical obstacles, while the high-output pickups deliver the tight, articulate distortion that rock and metal require. A serious instrument for serious musical ambition.

Signature Modern Metal Guitar from Jackson
A modern metal legend, Slipknot lead guitarist Mick Thomson has teamed up with Jackson to design an affordable, high-quality metal-ready guitar. The Pro Series Signature Mick Thomson Soloist SL2 electric guitar is a modern metal player's dream. With a 25.5" scale, a resonant mahogany body, oil-finished maple neck, and lightning-fast ebony compound-radius fingerboard, you'll be free to explore and hone your own metal style. In addition, dual Mick Thomson Signature Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB-3S humbucking pickups give you a massive array of tonal possibilities, letting you hone crushing, chunky riffs.Compound-radius fingerboard provides the best of both worlds
The Pro Series Signature Mick Thomson Soloist SL2 features a compound-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12" radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16" radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out — the best of both worlds.Neck made for metal
From bow to stern, the Pro Series Signature Mick Thomson Soloist SL2 is set up for mammoth sustain. You get a through-body maple neck — a proven sustain-enhancing design that lets you explore your own metal style and attack. Top that off with custom Signature Seymour Duncan Blackouts, and you have a recipe for slippery-pitch expressiveness with rock-solid tuning stability and endless sustain.Custom-designed pickups
A pair of Mick Thomson Signature Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB-3S neck and bridge pickups gives you all the metal punch and bite you need. And with only a single volume knob and a 3-way switch, there's nothing in the way of unleashing great tone.| BODY | |
