Jackson Custom Shop USA Special Edition Soloist - Shattered Glass Variant X/Summer Showcase Event Instrument #J11368

The Jackson Custom Shop USA Special Edition Soloist – Shattered Glass Variant X, created for the Summer Showcase Event and designated as instrument #302, is a striking fusion of high-performance design and expressive custom artwork. Featuring Custom Shattered Glass Variant X artwork by Dan Lawrence, the instrument presents a fractured, reflective visual aesthetic that interacts dynamically with light across its high-gloss urethane finish, creating a bold and immersive stage presence. At 7 lbs 15 oz, it offers a lightweight yet solid feel, carefully balanced for precision performance and sustained playability.

The roasted alder body provides a resonant and focused tonal foundation, paired with a matching painted quartersawn maple neck-through construction that ensures exceptional sustain, stability, and seamless access across all 24 frets. An ebony fingerboard enhances speed and articulation with a tight, responsive attack, while the reversed Jackson headstock reinforces the aggressive silhouette and optimized string tension. Ivory binding frames the instrument with refined contrast, complemented by mother-of-pearl sharkfin inlays and Luminlay green side dots that combine classic Jackson identity with modern stage visibility.

Playability is uncompromising, with 24 stainless steel jumbo frets delivering a smooth, durable surface designed for fast, precise execution. A Floyd Rose recessed locking bridge paired with a Floyd Rose locking nut ensures rock-solid tuning stability under extreme vibrato use, supported further by black Gotoh tuning keys for added reliability. The 3-way blade switch and black knurled metal dome knobs provide straightforward, performance-focused control.

Tonally, the guitar is driven by a DiMarzio pickup set featuring a Super Distortion bridge pickup and a PAF Pro neck pickup, both distinguished by yellow bobbins. The Super Distortion delivers powerful output, thick mids, and aggressive drive, while the PAF Pro provides clarity, balance, and articulate response, offering a wide and versatile tonal range suitable for both high-gain and clean applications.

All hardware is finished in black, including the recessed Floyd Rose system and 17mm strap buttons, maintaining a cohesive and purposeful aesthetic. An 80s style yellow Jackson logo on the headstock adds a bold, retro-inspired accent that ties into the overall visual concept.

Housed in a molded hardshell case, this Custom Shop Soloist stands as instrument #302 from the Summer Showcase Event, representing a high-impact expression of Jackson craftsmanship that merges custom artwork, elite components, and professional-grade performance into a single distinctive instrument.
