Jackson SLATTXMGQ 3-6 Trans Purple: perfect for solos and rhythms
The maple neck of this Soloist, with neck-through construction, features a rosewood fretboard and has been set into two lightweight, linden wings. With a quilted maple top, which beautifully shines through the Trans Purple lacquer, you're guaranteed a balanced and full acoustic basic sound. The slim Jackson neck provides you with great playing comfort and thanks to the compound radius, you get to play solos high up the neck while playing tight chords at the lower positions.
