For 2016 Chris Broderick has teamed up with the Jackson USA Custom Shop Master Builder Mike Shannon to create the Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist HT6 (hard tail 6-string)…
Contemporary guitarists require tonal versatility and punchy clarity to keep pace with the rapid twists and turns of today’s metal. A pair of Broderick-designed custom DiMarzio® direct mounted humbucking neck and bridge pickups punch well above their weight, cranking out monstrous tone that will pin your ears back. The volume control conceals a push/pull switch for coil-splitting, unlocking even more tonal options while the tone control’s push/pull switch enables the tone circuit. A killswitch allows for the stuttering effects that have become integral in modern metal. The Jackson® Single String hardtail bridge creates perfect intonation along the entire length of the neck to ensure complex chords ring true, working in harmony with the Planet Waves® Auto-Trim tuning machines for tuning stability that can withstand a good pick-hand thrashing without shifting. The 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets is ideal for all playing styles, comfortable for both low riffing and soaring leads.
Designed with Jackson® Custom Shop Master Builder Mike Shannon, the Broderick Soloist has all of the brooding style you expect from a Jackson. Maple body binding, a matching quilted maple headcap and quilted maple neck binding add a touch of elegance to this brutal beast while Ernie Ball® strap locks ensure your axe won’t go flying during onstage acrobatics. A sophisticated riffing machine, the Broderick Soloist HT 6 is designed for the most demanding music produced today.
