Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX, Bloodshot Crackle

Full Description

Molten finish with standout style

The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX makes a bold visual statement with its explosive Bloodshot Crackle finish. This unique design covers the body, headstock and neck back, creating a seamless, high-impact look that grabs attention on any stage. More than just eye candy, the durable gloss finish is built to resist wear from sweat and grime, keeping your guitar looking sharp through intense sessions. With aggressive styling and the iconic pointed Jackson headstock, this guitar captures the essence of metal attitude and live-ready aesthetics in one striking package.

Neck-through-body construction for unmatched sustain

At the core of the SLX DX’s performance is its neck-through-body maple construction, reinforced with graphite rods for outstanding stability and strength. This design not only delivers rock-solid tuning reliability during demanding sets but also ensures rich, ringing sustain across every note. The scarf joint at the headstock improves structural integrity while enhancing player comfort. Combined with a contoured basswood body, the entire construction offers effortless access to all 24 jumbo frets and a smooth, balanced playing feel that's ideal for extended play.

Optimised playability across the fingerboard

From tight rhythm work to blazing lead runs, the SLX DX’s bound laurel fingerboard is built for speed and control. Its 12"-16" compound radius is curved near the nut for smooth chord transitions, flattening out as you move up the neck for fast solos and wide bends without fretting out. Jumbo frets give a solid platform for expressive playing, while pearloid sharkfin inlays add visual flair and reference points under stage lights. Black side dots keep visibility clear during darker sets, making this fingerboard as practical as it is fast.

High-output pickups and tremolo for total control

This guitar comes equipped with Jackson high-output humbuckers that serve up a bold, articulate tone with serious punch. Designed for clarity and aggression, they handle everything from thick rhythm tones to cutting leads with ease. The recessed Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge offers expressive pitch control, from subtle vibrato to wild dive-bombs, all while maintaining precise tuning. With intuitive controls and a three-way blade switch, you can instantly shape your tone and take full command of your sound.
