Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Chris Broderick Soloist 7 - Transparent Black

With his dazzling thrash fretwork, former Megadeth and current Act of Defiance and In Flames guitarist Chris Broderick is heralded as an exacting and modern metal master.

When Broderick first came to Jackson to design his own signature model, he had clear demands in mind for his take on the venerable Soloist. Finding a more-than-willing partner up for the challenge, Broderick coined the longstanding high-performance guitar giant as the "company that could." The results of the collaboration are sophisticated riffing machines loaded with premium features to keep up with the most demanding styles of music.

The Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Chris Broderick Soloist 7 features a 25.5" scale length, resonant mahogany body draped with a stunning flame maple arched top and a three-piece maple through-body maple neck with scarf joint and graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability and enhanced sustain. Its 12"-radius bound ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets is ideal for all playing styles, comfortable for both low riffing and soaring leads.

Contemporary guitarists require tonal versatility and punchy clarity to keep pace with the rapid twists and turns of today's metal. Direct mount DiMarzio Chris Broderick signature humbucking bridge and neck pickups deliver powerful clear harmonics with accentuated pick attack and tight lows for versatile tone, from heavy chording to searing solos. The volume control conceals a push/pull switch for coil-splitting, unlocking even more tonal options while the tone control's push/pull switch enables the tone circuit. Switch between pickup combinations with a three-way toggle, while a TESI momentary latching button switch acting as a killswitch when engaged. Other premium features include Gotoh 1996T-7 double-locking tremolo system, Jackson die-cast tuners and Jackson locking strap buttons.

Wrapped in a Transparent Black finish with matching reverse Jackson reverse AT-1 3x4 headstock and black hardware, this pedigreed metal machine is a force to be reckoned with.

Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets

Stainless steel frets are a significantly harder and smoother material than nickel-silver, giving them extreme durability and a glassy playing feel making bending a breeze.

DiMarzio CB7 Bridge and Neck Humbucking Pickups

Built for metal from the ground up, the direct mount DiMarzio CB7 humbucking pickups were custom-designed by Chris Broderick to produce high gain, low noise, and uncompromising tone.

Three-Piece Through-Body Maple Neck Construction With Graphite Reinforcement

Neck-through-body construction has been a Jackson hallmark since 1980, allowing for greater playability comfort and enhanced sustain. Neck-through is a method of guitar construction which involves extending the piece of wood used for the neck through the entire length of the body. Graphite-reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod provide even more neck stability to help the instrument withstand the rigors of the road.
