CHRIS BRODERICK SOLOIST™
With his dazzling thrash fretwork, former Megadeth and current Act of Defiance guitarist Chris Broderick is heralded as an exacting and modern metal master.
When Broderick first came to Jackson to design his own signature model, he had very exacting demands in mind for his take on the venerable Soloist™. Finding a more-than-willing partner up for the challenge, Broderick coined the longstanding high-performance guitar giant as the “company that could.”.
ALL-NEW CHRIS BRODERICK PRO SERIES SIGNATURE SOLOIST 6- AND 7-STRING MODELS
Available in a Gloss Black finish or Transparent Blue with a poplar top, the new Pro Series Chris Broderick Soloist 6- and 7-string models feature a 25.5” scale length, resonant mahogany body with arched top and through-body maple neck with scarf joint and graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability. The 12”-radius bound laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets is ideal for all playing styles, comfortable for both low riffing and soaring leads.
Additionally, Chris’s signature DiMarzio® humbucking bridge and neck pickups deliver powerful clear harmonics with accentuated pick attack and tight lows for versatile tone. Broderick’s Pro HT 6- and 7-string versions boast the Jackson Single-String hardtail bridge to create perfect intonation along the entire length of the neck, while you can perform deep string bends with the Floyd Rose® Special double-locking tremolo on both the Pro 6- and 7-string models.
“I’ve always said, ‘Jackson Guitars was the brand that could,’ and they helped me design this guitar with no compromise. Jackson came through. It’s pretty awesome being in the Jackson family, because they’ve supported me through any time in my career. It’s an awesome company to not only be a part of, but to have a product that they really care about.”
