Jackson keeps introducing new guitars and we keep really, truly wanting them. This time around it’s their Concept Series and I mean… come on. Who isn’t gonna agree that the Soloist model in this latest drop isn’t badass?
Rhoads RR24 FR H
The all-new Concept Series Rhoads RR24 FR H offers a neck-through-body construction with 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets, graphite-reinforcement rods through the 3-piece Maple neck, and a 12”-16” compound radius bound Ebony fingerboard with glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots. The Concept Series Rhoads RR24 FR H comes with an EMG 81 pickup with an EMG afterburner push-pull pot to boost the input by up to 20dB at full rotation, as well as a top-mount Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo system.
The Concept Series Rhoads FR H is available here for $1,999.99.
DK Modern MDK
Hey, it’s an 8-string! The Limited Edition Concept Series Dinky MDK HT8 MS provides two scale lengths on one fingerboard (25.5”- 27.5”) with a contoured Basswood body, 3-piece Maple/Wenge/Maple neck, and a 12”-16” compound radius Ebony fingerboard. Much like the others, the MDK comes with Glow-in-the-dark Luminlay dots on the side of the neck. The Fishman Fluence Modern PRF-M39-CB1 humbucking pickup in the bridge position and Fishman Fluence Modern PRF-M39-AB1 humbucker in the neck position allow for some chunky tones, while the Hipshot fixed bridge delivers maximum sustain and tonality.
The DK Modern MDK is available here for $1,899.99.
King Kelly KE
The Limited Edition Concept Series King Kelly features an oddly angular body, but that’s about as weird as it gets. The King Kelly has an Alder body, 3-piece Maple neck through-body with graphite reinforcement, 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays. The King Kelly comes with Bare Knuckle Aftermath bridge and neck humbucking pickups, as well as a Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo bridge system.
The King Kelly KE is available here for $2,199.99.
Soloist SL27 EX
The Soloist SL27 EX features an Alder Soloist body with arched top and a through-body 3-piece Maple neck with graphite reinforcement, a 12″-16″ compound radius bound Ebony fingerboard with 27 jumbo frets, and Luminlay side dots. The HS pickup configuration routing features direct mount Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 bridge and Seymour Duncan Hot Rail SHR-1 neck pickups, as well as a Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo bridge system.
