This is the 2H version of the T-1000, which means it's equipped with two humbuckers. The Soloist has a Seymour Duncan TB-4 at the bridge, for a sharp, piercing metal tone.

It also offers excellent playing comfort, thanks to the oiled neck that runs through the body. In combination with the ebony fretboard with a compound radius, that means this neck allows you to play quick riffs with ease.

This model won't produce 'White Noise', but it'll sure give you a 'Fistful of Metal'!
