For those of you who have a tax refund coming your way, here’s a quick look at 10 new killer Jackson guitars across our Pro Series, X Series and JS Series.
Pro Series Soloist SL7 HT in Charcoal Gray
This new 7-string Charcoal Gray Soloist looks like it was born out of King Laufey’s desolate and dark planet Jotunheim from the movie Thor. Offering a 25.5″ scale length, the SL7HT features a mahogany body with an ash top, ebony fingerboard with a reverse 7-in-line black headstock, Dual Seymour Duncan SH-6 (7s) pickups, and a Jackson HT7 string-through-body hardtail bridge.
Pro Series Rhoads RR24 in Charcoal Gray
Sticking with that same dark Charcoal Gray finish over a mahogany body with ash top, the new Pro Series Rhoads RR24 also has a malevolent appearance. Its sharp planes are edged with white binding, which appears around the body, neck and reverse headstock. A 12″-16″ compound radius ebony fingerboard offers 24 jumbo frets and sharkin inlays. This guitar is powered by dual Seymour Duncan distortion humbucking pickups, and also includes master volume and tone controls, three-way toggle switch and a Floyd Rose recessed double-locking tremolo.
Pro Series Rhoads RR24 in Natural Mahogany

X Series TY2-7 HT Telly Pavo Purple
Although it’s a familiar and classic shape, Jackson of course had to metal it up a notch with an added seventh string and reverse Jackson pointed 7-in-line headstock. The X Series Telly is loaded with other great features such as a basswood body, one-piece through-body maple neck, 12″-16″ compound radius bound maple fingerboard with black sharkfin inlays, Jackson high-output humbucking pickups and a Jackson HT7 string-through body hardtail bridge.

X Series Rhoads RRX24 in Black with Neon Green Bevels
The Rhoads RRX24 is now offered in two new absolutely killer color combos — Black with Neon Green Bevels, reverse neon green sharkfin inlays and chrome hardware as shown here, OR Black with Yellow Bevels, reverse gold sharkfin inlays gold hardware.
Both pack a punch with Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups, and also feature a dark rosewood fingerboard, recessed Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo and reverse pointed 6-in-line headstocks.
X Series Soloist SLXT in Torred
Jackson took its popular X Series Soloist SLX model and added a Jackson compensated and adjustable string-through-body TOM-style bridge for this new SLXT model, available in Torred as shown above, and also Gloss Black.
Coming in at a moderate price tag, its features include a basswood body, through-body maple neck, dark rosewood fingerboard with pearloid sharkfin inlays and Duncan Designed alnico HB-103N and high-output ceramic HB-103B humbucking pickups.
