I’m no Jackson guy but I tried one of these at Guitar Center the other day and I was very impressed. I played a few other models: an Ibanez Prestige A series and a PRS Custom 24 and the neck on this Jackson just flies. Also, the tone is so versatile and it’s just a really great instrument.
I cannot understand the hate, this thing is premium and it’s all about the neck.
Btw, you could make a piece of driftwood with six strings on it sound good so it’s no surprise the SL3 shines in your hands.

Still liking this thing? I just pulled the trigger on the black one today for $2100 USD in mint condition on Reverb, pretty eager to try it out despite all the people trashing them. I'll admit $2600 is pretty steep though.

Damn Jude, even through the phone this guitar sounds killer. Might have to do with your playing too.

Thanks for the review. I have the guitar for a few days, and the action on the low E and A strings is too high. I did a minor neck and trem saddle height adjustment and got buzzing on those strings. How is the action on your guitar?

hi there, how would you compare the americal series soloist SL3 vs the Jackson MJ series soloist SL2? i believe they're priced similarly (MJ one being $100 more), which one has the better feel, build quality? thx

I still think these are 800+ USD overpriced however, the neck/fretwork/setup on these new SL3's is insanely fast 😳 probably the nicest fret work I've experienced on a new guitar in 20+ years of playing & buying.

Thanks for the review/playtest. I just had an article about this release come across my Flipboard feed today and it totally got my attention. I agree, the stainless-steel bits are such a great addition (my Signature Series George Lynch Kamikaze and my very first Floyd I installed on an Aria way back in the 80's both suffered corrosion issues in those areas). I'm in the market for a new workhorse and this just looks and sounds amazing. I was mostly hemming and hawing over another ESP or a Dean Select but this has thrown a monkey wrench in the plans for sure. My question would be "Do you believe it is a true 2600$ guitar?" (I would get the Riviera Blue). Also, mad props for the shout out to Uli Jon Roth Sails of Charon and Fastway and of course Sir Edward. 😄

The stainless steel parts are about $50 total worth if you order them yourself from stew mac, thr mark up is ridiculous in my opion

Theres no way ill ever pay that kind of money for a guitar that doesnt come with stainless steel frets. Thats just a standard for that price point. Companies that dont do that are just shooting themselves in the foot.

Jackson guitars: "Most basic guitar design we sell? That'll be $2, 500."

This SL3 title is going to make things complicated in the used markets. I bet alot of these will end up getting sold used for $400.

Not so great as this is the second replacement for the damaged1st product. Second it doesn't seem to be completed and improperly assembled

Thats a friggin joke compared to my old school soloist! Mine has the Jackson logo in mother of pearl not cheap silkscreeneed. Has binding on the neck. Says made in USA on the front. Has a quarter sawn hard rock maple neck. A gorgeous transparent blue finish etc.. Oh and I payed a very small fraction of the price of the 2022 model

You can get these new for <$1400. People complain about everything. Fr1500 is better than the german ones. Neck binding has nothing to do with quality
