Jackson Limited Edition Wildcard Series Soloist SL2FM Electric Guitar w/ Case (BLEM)

Imagine our innovative and high-tech Jackson Soloist model on steroids. That’s what you have here with the Limited Edition Wildcard Series Soloist™ SL2FM, featuring upgrades that are typically found only on Custom Shop models.

Cutting an elegant figure, the SL2FM features an ergonomically contoured alder body and flame maple top in a Transparent Black Burst finish with masked-off natural binding and color matched pointy headstock. The neck-through-body construction design improves sustain and intonation and features an attractive and rock-solid five-piece maple/wenge/maple/wenge/maple neck with graphite reinforcement and a painted gloss to natural satin gradient finish on the back for smooth playability.

Hosting 24 jumbo frets and an outlined pearloid sharkfin at the 12^th fret, its 12”-16” compound radius bound ebony fingerboard is designed for highly technical lightspeed playing—more curved by the nut for comfortable chording, it flattens out as you move up the neck for increasingly fast playing speed and wide bends without fretting out. For the touring musicians, Luminlay® side dots provide fret guidance even on the darkest of stages, while a conveniently-placed heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel makes neck relief tweaks a breeze.

A pair of multi-voiced Fishman® Fluence® Modern PRF-MHB pickups are directly mounted to the body for improved vibration transfer. This re-imagined set delivers the most sought-after humbucking tones, from modern active pickup sounds to super-hot high-output humbucking tones. Explore this instrument’s versatile voice with three-way toggle switch, single volume control and tone control with push/pull knob to switch from an active to passive tone for more dynamic picking attack.

Resetting the bar of what’s possible in guitar design, this limited edition SL2FM also comes with a Floyd Rose® Original double-locking tremolo bridge system, Gotoh® sealed die-cast tuners, Dunlop® dual-locking strap buttons and brooding black hardware.

Condition: This is a brand new BLEM Wildcard Soloist SL2FM in Transparent Black Burst. The reason this is a BLEM is because of a finish imperfection on the back of the body (see photos). Save $100 for a minor imperfection! It comes equipped with our Pro-Tech setup and Jackson’s warranty. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized dealer of Jackson Guitars.

Pro-Tech Setup: Our Pro-Tech setup makes your guitar ready to rock straight out of the box. Here’s how..

• Make any adjustments so the neck is straight to avoid any fret buzzing and for comfort
• Check the nut and nut slots for any adjustments/filing to prevent any tuning issues, as well as for comfort at the lower frets
• Make any adjustments to the bridge/tremolo system so it’s in the proper position for tuning stability
• Set the action to a height that feels comfortable for each guitar

• Set the intonation so you’re in tune everywhere on the neck 

All of these steps will make your brand new guitar feel as comfortable as ever and ready to play straight out of the box!
