With his dazzling thrash fretwork, guitarist Chris Broderick is heralded as an exacting and modern metal master. Although enjoying an exciting stint as the lead and rhythm guitarist for Megadeth, Broderick and former Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover opted to leave the thrash metal giants in 2014 to form their own extreme metal band, Act of Defiance, along with singer Henry Derek (Scar the Martyr) and bassist Matt Bachand (Shadows Fall). In collaboration with Jackson Custom Shop, Master Builder Mike Shannon, modern metal master Chris Broderick designed his own special take on the venerable Soloist. The USA Signature Chris Broderick Soloist is a sophisticated riffing machine loaded with the premium features needed to keep up with the most demanding music produced today.

Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of nearly 40 years they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. The Number of the Beast also marked guitarist Adrian Smith’s first song-writing contributions in the band. A childhood friend of Dave Murray, Smith joined Iron Maiden in 1980, and recorded the Killers album in 1981, but did not begin co-writing with the band until on “Gangland” and “The Prisoner.”

Mick Thomson’s black hole-heavy de-tuned guitar sound has been an integral part of Slipknot for more than two decades. With over 16 million records/videos sold and an impressive stream of ongoing sold-out worldwide tours, the Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum band continues to be a dominant force in modern metal music. This signature Soloist is powered by a pair of Mick Thomson signature Seymour Duncan® Blackouts to complement the complex, crushing riffs Thomson plays in dropped tunings. The EMTY bridge pickup offers the energy and output of the original Blackouts but with Thomson’s custom voicing to emphasize the percussive chunk of palm-muted notes. Designed for crystal clear clean tones, the EMTY neck pickup can also produce more aggressive mids and increased sustain for high-speed solos and ominous melodic interludes when you crank up the gain
