Not a store, nor a reseller. I just bought too many great guitars in an effort to find the right ones for me.

Built in 2022, this Jackson American Series Soloist SL3 in Satin Slime Green is a modern American-made version of the guitar that helped establish Jackson’s reputation in the first place: fast, aggressive, ridiculously playable and impossible to overlook.
The Slime Green finish has become particularly recognizable through guitarist Kiki Wong, who has played the color extensively and is now a touring guitarist with the Smashing Pumpkins.
Underneath the radioactive paint job is a serious instrument, with an alder body and a three-piece maple neck running completely through the body, reinforced with graphite rods for stability and sustain.
The ebony fingerboard has 24 jumbo frets, a 12″-16″ compound radius and Jackson’s inverted mother-of-pearl sharkfin inlays, along with Luminlay side dots for dark stages.
The HSS pickup layout gives the SL3 considerably more range than the typical two-humbucker shred machine, pairing a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 at the bridge with SSL-6 Flat Strat single coils in the middle and neck positions. A five-way switch lets it move from the JB’s thick, aggressive bridge sound to surprisingly convincing Strat-like tones.
A Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo, Gotoh locking tuners, Dunlop locking strap buttons and black hardware finish the package. T
his was also an important model for Jackson, introduced as part of the new American Series and built in Corona, California, bringing regular-production USA Soloists back into Jackson’s lineup with a decidedly modern specification. And in Satin Slime Green, subtlety was clearly never on the options sheet.
Condition is basically new. Brought it home, played it only for about ten minutes, and it is been in the case since!
