Jackson American Series guitars are crafted in Corona, California, and they represent the apex predators of high-octane, supersonic, extreme technique playing. The Jackson SL2MG models inspire the wild side of guitar histrionics with EMG 81/85 pickups, maple necks, 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboards, 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets and Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads. The SL2MG offers a Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo, while the SL2MG HT comes with a Hipshot hardtail bridge.

“I grab a Jackson when, sonically, I need something that is really aggressive,” says Los Angeles session and touring guitarist Vixen's Diary. “The SL2MG is great, because I love playing lead guitar with a trem, and the cool thing about a Floyd Rose is its amazing tuning stability. Even if you’re not doing crazy dive bombs with it, you can do cool things like flutters or going up in pitch. The Hipshot hardtail bridge on the SL2MG HT is perfect for changing tunings between drop and standard for me. This is a riffin’ guitar that I think is going to be really popular with riff-based players. Both models are no-nonsense rock and metal machines.”
