INTRODUCING THE JACKSON GUITARS MICK THOMSON SOLOIST

The guitar is designed as a tribute to one of metal’s most revered guitarists in both its appearance and ability to handle Thomson’s aggressive style of playing and tone.

 

The limited edition USA model features a mahogany bound body with a graphite reinforced through-body, three-piece quarter sawn maple, rosewood, and maple neck, which has been carved to a super-thin profile for maximum comfort and high-speed playability.

 

The guitar also features a 24 fret 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard, and under the hood has two customised Seymour Duncan Mick Thomson EMTY Blackout humbucking pickups.

 

These special pickups were made to cater to Thompson’s voicing, with the bridge emphasising the player’s palm muted notes and the neck capable of aggressive mids and increased sustain for soloing once the gain is cranked.
