Jackson Concept Series Soloist SL27 LTD: Baritone Mastery
The Jackson Concept Series Soloist SL27 LTD at $1,999 delivers a 27-inch baritone scale with Custom Shop precision for serious extended range players.
Who Is It For?
Baritone specialists and extended range players demanding Custom Shop quality. Progressive metal, djent, and doom players will find the 27-inch scale perfect for lower tunings.
The 27-Inch Scale: Why It Matters
A 27-inch baritone scale maintains proper string tension even in drop-B tunings. This means proper string-to-fret contact, natural bending dynamics, and clear low-frequency articulation.
Stainless Steel Frets on Extended Scale
On longer scale, stainless steel frets resist wear while maintaining bright articulation—essential for durability with increased string tension.
The Soloist Body: Comfort and Control
Jackson’s Soloist contour is ergonomic. Even stretched to 27 inches, it maintains excellent balance and upper fret access.
First Impressions
The SL27 LTD feels substantial with proper weight and balance. Strings are taut and responsive. Stainless frets deliver crystalline clarity across the range.
