Description
Slipknot lead guitarist Mick Thomson is one of metal’s most popular and revered guitarists. His ever-changing, uncompromising approach to metal guitar has influenced countless musicians around the world, while his heavy, percussive out-of-tune guitar sound has been an integral part of Slipknot for over two decades.
Designed to stand up to its acclaimed technique and aggressive tone, the Mick Thomson Soloist SL2 Signature Pro Series is an ominous guitar packed with high-quality features, including a bound mahogany body coupled with a graphite-reinforced one-piece maple neck – cut to a super-thin profile for maximum comfort and fast playing – and an ebony fingerboard with 12″ to 16″ compound radius, 24 frets and block side dots.
This Soloist signature is fueled by a pair of Mick Thomson’s Seymour Duncan Blackouts to complement the complex, crushing riffs Thomson plays in low tunings. The EMTY Pont pickup offers the energy and output of the original Blackouts, but with Thomson’s custom harmonization to emphasize the percussive part of the muted notes. Designed for crystal-clear tones, EMTY pickups can also produce more aggressive mids and increased sustain for high-speed solos and eerie melodic interludes as you turn up the gain.
Other features include a Jackson MTB HT6 hardtail bridge and locking saddle for laser-precise intonation and ultra-stable tuning, unique volume control, three-way blade switch and recessed jack socket.
Thomson’s signature Pro SL2 is available in black with white binding or white with black binding, as well as with a matching 6-in-line pointed head and black hardware.
