I absolutley LOVED the jumbo frets cuz i've never played a guitar with jumbo frets and it was so easy to fret notes quickly, less effort had to be used.

yea dude, I love soloists. They are real shred guitars, and quite versitle in their genra. I love that semi-beefy neck which helps bending but still complements sweeping.

If you like the Soloists, the more price friendly version is the Dinky. Same physical specs (shape...) exept the electrons, pickups, and its not build to presicion as the Solist.
