I didn't even know Jackson had branded strings. Are they old or current?

Jackson branded strings, specifically the Jackson Soloist series, are designed for high-gain, modern metal playing, featuring nickel-plated steel construction for a bright, high-output sound with solid, stable tuning for drop tunings... these USA-made strings offer a balanced, durable feel, with 7- and 8-string sets often featuring color-coded ball ends for easy restringing. 

Performance and Design

Targeted Use: Primarily marketed for metal, hard rock, and players using drop tunings, providing a balanced, controlled feel even at lower tensions.

Material: Nickel-plated steel on a hexagonal core, offering high output and longevity.

Feel: Smooth, intended to handle fast lead work and intense riffing.

Options: Available in standard sets, as well as specific drop-tuning gauges (e.g., .010-.052, .012-.058). 

Common Praise

Durability: Users find them to be reliable under heavy, aggressive playing.

Tuning Stability: The hex-core design helps maintain stable tuning.

High-Gain Clarity: They are noted to respond well to high-gain tones, maintaining clarity rather than getting muddy.
