“Built for speed, equipped for domination”: Jackson stealth-launches the Pure Metal range – a trio of limited edition single-pickup shred machines

Jackson Pro Seris Pure Metal Limited Edition: The Californian high-performance guitar brand's three new built-for-metal Rhoads, Soloist and Kelly electric guitars, all finished in black with white binding, and photographed in front of a red gradient background.

NAMM 2025: Under the cover of darkness – or at least not making a song and dance about it on social media – Jackson has expanded its Pro Plus Series high-performance electric guitar lineup with the limited edition Pure Metal range.

The collection comprises the Pure Metal Rhoads RR1A, the Soloist SL1A and the Kelly KE1A and pares this trio of classic Jackson guitars down to the essentials; a single humbucker pickup, a Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking vibrato and a black finish because this, after all, is the Pure Metal Series.
