August 14, 2025

The Pro Plus Pure Metal line is a limited‑edition collection of stripped-back, single‑pickup guitars made for maximum speed and impact. These shred machines, Soloist SL1A, King V KV1A, Kelly KE1A, Rhoads RR1A, Warrior WR1A and Concert Bass CB1A, come in gloss black with cream binding and classic Jackson sharkfin inlays.

Core Features

Every model in the Pure Metal range shares this high‑performance spec package:

  • Body: Single‑ply cream‑bound poplar, gloss finish
  • Neck: Graphite‑reinforced, three‑piece thru‑maple neck‑through construction
  • Fingerboard: Ebony, 12″–16″ compound radius, 24 jumbo stainless‑steel frets
  • Pickup: Bridge‑only Fishman® Fluence® Modern ceramic humbucker with push/pull volume voice‑switching
  • Bridge: Recessed Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double‑locking tremolo
  • Extras: Luminlay glowing side‑dots, dome‑style volume knob only (no tone), gig bag included

Tone & Playability

The Pure Metal series is built with metal players in mind:

  • Pickup versatility: Though each guitar has a single pickup, the Fishman Fluence Modern offers two distinct voices via push/pull: one tight and articulate, the other mean and saturated.
  • Unmatched sustain & stability: Neck‑through construction and graphite rods ensure fast feel and neck stability, even under intense vibration or temperature shifts.
  • Hyper‑slick playability: The glossy ebony board with stainless frets and compound radius invites fast alternate picking, sweeping, and legato runs.
  • Simple control layout: No tone knob, just volume with voice activation,ideal for minimal distractions when performing

The Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal guitars (and bass) deliver high-performance features with a no-nonsense approach. Featuring iconic Jackson body shapes, aggressive Fishman Fluence-powered tone, Floyd Rose precision, and a sleek all-black aesthetic, these instruments are built purely for performance.

Stripped back, this limited-edition series makes a bold statement, perfect for players who want uncompromising metal tone, lightning-fast playability, and standout style without distractions.
