Jackson streamlines three iconic models into speedy, dominant single-pickup guitars - introducing the restricted edition Pro Plus Pure Metal series.
Unleash the Fury: Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal - Electrifying Limited Edition Guitars
Say hello to the adrenaline-pumping Pro Plus Pure Metal collection, the latest offering from Jackson that's taking the electric guitar scene by storm. The lineup comprises the Soloist, the Kelly, and the Rhoads, all showcasing a sleek, all-black finish and a stripped-back single-pickup configuration with high-end specs.
24 jumbo stainless steel frets are standard issue on these beasts, partnered with ebony fingerboards and classic Jackson style, including six-in-line pointy headstocks for every model. Each guitar flaunts a Jackson logo in cream, harmonizing with the binding on the body, and keeping the decorative elements to a minimum.
With premium materials comes premium detailing, as the chrome Floyd Rose 1000 Series vibrato doesn't disappoint. The centerpiece is a singular master volume knob, embedding a push/pull function for alterable pickup voicing, eliminating the necessity for a tone pot.
Aesthetically, the Pro Plus Pure Metal range oozes a cool Countdown To Extinction-era Megadeth vibe, but each guitar offers its unique twist on traditional models. The range sports a single Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker at the bridge shared by all models, along with a neck-through building method.
The bodies are constructed from sturdy poplar wood. The fingerboards exhibit standard Jackson dimensions, offering a comfortable 12" to 16" compound radius that caters to both chordwork and thrilling leads seamlessly. The basics remain unchanged, with a 25.5" scale length providing uncompromising durability. If you're ready to turn up the volume, these jacked-up instruments extend an open invitation to the stage.
Glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dot markers are here to serve as your nighttime navigational aid, while the stainless steel fretwork guarantees a smooth, slinky playing experience.

Last but certainly not least, Jackson finally introduced the Pro Series LM-87 Lee Malia, faithfully resurrecting and reimagining the Surfcaster offset guitar for the Bring Me The Horizon guitarist.
