This Jackson SLATXMG3-7 Soloist is in used, LIKE NEW condition.  This guitar is refurbished by professionals.  It is stamped with a "used" stamp on the back of the headstock. This guitar, as well as many of the others in our store is shipped from the manufacturer to the refurbisher.  Typically, minor repairs are then performed, such as blemish repair, finish repair, gluing issues, electronic issues or other minor repairs.  These guitars come to me in like new condition, with no other signs of wear except where noted. Here's what is being said about the SLATXMG3-7 Soloist: Dual graphite reinforcement rods run the length of the maple neck with speed profile to fortify it against the extremes of nature, buttressing it against warping while a speedy 12”-16” compound radius fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the black plastic nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out. A pair of EMG active humbucking pickups—an 85 neck pickup and 81 bridge pickup—generate versatile, huge and high output tones for brutal distortion and clear, crisp cleans. Equipped with a Floyd Rose® Special bridge and Jackson-branded tuning machines. Classic Jackson appointments include the instantly recognizable piranha inlays, black hardware, single-ply neck binding and the Soloist’s ergonomically arched top for playing blazing licks with comfort. Sleek, refined, and dangerous, the SLATXMG3-7 Soloist is art brought to life, tempered with high-tech performance for the ultimate metal machine.
