Source: jacksonguitars.com (verified 2026-08-01). Jackson's own product page for the American Series Soloist SL3 (archived, since live fetches to jacksonguitars.com return HTTP 429) lists a full spec table verbatim: Body Material "Alder", Body Shape "Soloist", Bridge Pickup "Seymour Duncan JB TB-4", Middle/Neck Pickup "Seymour Duncan Flat Strat SSL-6" (single-coils), Pickup Configuration "HSS", Bridge "Floyd Rose 1500 Series Double-Locking Tremolo", Scale Length '25.5" (64.77 cm)', Fingerboard Material "Ebony", Fingerboard Radius '12"-16" Compound Radius', Neck Construction "Neck-Through-Body with Graphite Reinforcement", Neck Material "3-Piece Maple", and Number of Frets 24. Listed price for the Gloss Black finish is $2,299.99 ("price":229999); an alternate finish/fingerboard combination on the same page lists $2,349.99. Note: Jackson's current Pro Plus series has no Soloist-body model, so the American Series SL3 (the current flagship USA-built Soloist) was used in place of the seed "Pro Plus Soloist SL". No fetched page stated an actual instrument weight, so weight_lb is left null. Image is Jackson's own CDN-hosted product photo, confirmed to load directly.
