Broderick, and a tantalizing glimpse of just the headstock of his new signature Soloist model.

Megadeth fans will be excited to learn that the Jackson Custom Shop is introducing its new Chris Broderick signature guitar model in January 2011. Broderick himself worked closely with Custom Shop master craftsmen to create a distinctive guitar based on a classic Jackson design.

That guitar, the Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist™, brings his long and exacting search for instrumental excellence to a most satisfying conclusion.

“After an exhaustive search for the highest-quality instrument, I’ve found it at Jackson,” Broderick said. “I’ve been looking for a guitar this incredible for quite a while, and the guys at the Custom Shop really understood what I was after and where I was coming from. I have spent countless hours ensuring that this guitar is playable and stylish.”

Broderick’s Soloist model boasts an unusual new touch in the form of a slightly offset carved-top body design for which the guitarist collaborated with longtime Jackson Custom Shop Master Builder Mike Shannon. Other features include dual DiMarzio® humbucking pickups and a 24-fret 12”-radius fingerboard. Further, the guitar will be available in six- and seven-string models.

The Colorado-bred Broderick is not only a formidable shred guitarist, but also an extraordinary musician in a much wider sense. He started playing at age 10, studying guitar, voice, violin and piano, and eagerly devoured a wealth of diverse musical influences extending well beyond rock into classical, jazz, blues and country forms. He earned a degree in classical guitar performance from the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, and he himself has taught guitar for more than a dozen years.

Broderick joined Megadeth in early 2008. His molten guitar work has contributed to the band’s current revitalization, including 2009 album Endgame, the American Carnage and Rust in Peace 20th Anniversary tours, and the summer 2010 Sonisphere Festival shows in Europe that featured several metallically historic Big Four shows.

Jackson’s unveiling of Broderick’s new signature model comes closely on the heels of the guitar maker’s announcement of its partnership with Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, who received his own new signature bass model in early 2011 and who will be collaborating with Jackson on the development of other new bass models.

Holy shit it's gonna be a seven!

techcoreriffman · 01-10-2011, 06:51 PM

SO EXCITED!

MaxOfMetal · 01-10-2011, 06:52 PM

Nice!

djpharoah · 01-10-2011, 06:54 PM

Why can't I thank my OWN thread!!

Man I'm waiting for this to come out asap

DaddleCecapitation · 01-10-2011, 06:56 PM

I think I speak on behalf of all people wanting a Chris Broderick sig when I say:

"IT'S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME!!!"

BlackWidowESP · 01-10-2011, 06:56 PM

That would be funny if it was a Y2KV

Be the first to get one and we'll thank you 3 fold.

And once you get one..... DIBS?

that the specs don't blow ass chunks and I *might* get one. So far I've only seen the headstock for the 6 string which is a reverse SLS headstock. That's like judging a girls looks from a photo of her fingernail.

Kel668 · 01-10-2011, 07:03 PM

I REALLY thought I wasn't going to be wanting to buy a new electric this year. Don't get me wrong, there's some cool stuff that's been leaked for 2011, but nothing that blew my kilt up and screamed "YOU MUST HAVE THIS!"

Until now.

Dammit...

(I know, I'm saying this like it's a bad thing. It totally isn't. And this guy deserves a sig like whoa. And if that's coming out in 7-string form, then I'm all over it like dead on Elvis.)

JamesM · 01-10-2011, 07:05 PM

^^Or her ass. Because a good one can really make an ugly girl look alooooot better.

Only known pic:

Quite the tease ain't it.

MaxOfMetal · 01-10-2011, 07:07 PM

I really hope this offered in a USA and MIJ.

Kel668 · 01-10-2011, 07:10 PM

Another cruel tease of a pic.

devolutionary · 01-10-2011, 07:14 PM

Holy crap! It doesn't have the off-putting headstock either! Now that -is- tempting!

leonardo7 · 01-10-2011, 07:16 PM

Im extremely excited that its going to be available as a 7 as well! Jackson rules! If I had my pick of the big companies, Id consider ESP but Id go with Jackson probably cause not only are they super nice but the custom shop is nearby in Arizona. This guitar is gonna seriously be incredible. MIJ Jacksons are nice too. Anyone guess on the specs?

Kotex · 01-10-2011, 07:19 PM

Damn, I've been gone awhile. Last time I was on here Broderick was with Ibanez.

What happen to that?

DaddleCecapitation · 01-10-2011, 07:20 PM

Lesson learned: If you want a signature model, don't go to Ibanez.

I don't think Dino will follow suit any time soon. Damn Ibanazi!

ROAR · 01-10-2011, 07:22 PM

This is epic.
I really wanna see the finish and 7 string model!

Philligan · 01-10-2011, 07:22 PM

That headstock's amazing

I'm guessing it'll be semi-close to his first LACS (wasn't it?) Ibby (trans black on flame maple, natural binding), in which case, my only beef will be the 12" fretboard radius, but I can deal with that

DarkSaga · 01-10-2011, 07:23 PM

I want a full guitar pic NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Oh boy....the GAS juices are a bubblin in me tummy!! hahaha

If this looks as tasty as I think it is, then i am pretty sure i am gonna order one as soon as it is available

This is going be a USA production guitar right and not an import?

It *might* be the 12-16" from Jackson because someone still put in the hyphen in the blog if you see up in the OP. 12-16 is way easier to play and hopefully he's accepted that. Otherwise nothing a luthier or a good tech can't change.
