Product Detail
Former Megadeth and current Act of Defiance and In Flames guitarist Chris Broderick is a modern metal legend, known for his amazing thrash fretwork. When he joined Jackson to design his signature Soloist model, he had high - end demands. The result is a top - notch guitar for today's challenging music. The Jackson Pro Series Signature Chris Broderick Soloist HT6P has a 25.5 - inch scale. Its mahogany body with an arched poplar burl top and through - body maple neck (with scarf joint and graphite reinforcement) offers rock - solid stability and great sustain. The 12 - inch radius bound laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets suits all playing styles. Contemporary metal players need tonal variety and clear sound. The direct - mount DiMarzio Chris Broderick signature humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck provide powerful harmonics, sharp pick attacks, and tight lows. The volume control's push/pull switch allows coil - splitting, and the tone control's switch activates the tone circuit. A three - way toggle lets you switch between pickup combinations, and a mini - toggle kill switch creates cool stuttering effects. The Jackson Single - String hardtail bridge ensures perfect intonation, and the Jackson sealed die - cast locking machines keep the tuning stable. This guitar comes in a standout Transparent Blue finish, with a matching reverse Jackson AT - 1 3x3 headstock and black hardware.

Using this Jackson guitar is a breeze. First, make sure you've tuned it up with the Jackson sealed die - cast locking machines. To change the tone, use the three - way toggle switch to pick between different pickup combinations. The mini - toggle kill switch is great for creating those cool stuttering effects you hear in modern metal. If you want more tonal options, use the push/pull switches on the volume and tone controls. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe it down after each use with a soft cloth to keep the finish looking great. The saddle height wrench and truss rod wrench provided are useful for making small adjustments. Just be gentle when using them. Also, change the nickel - plated steel strings regularly for the best sound. And remember, if you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck.
