Jackson X Series Soloist, SLX DX, Laurel Fingerboard, Polka Dot

Full Description

Stable, sustained tone

At the heart of the Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX is its through-body maple neck, bolstered by graphite reinforcement. This design not only enhances the guitar's durability and resistance to environmental changes but also significantly improves sustain and resonance. The neck's smooth satin finish and ergonomic scarf joint provide a comfortable playing experience, allowing for lengthy sessions without fatigue. This construction method ensures that every note rings out with maximum clarity and sustain, making it perfect for both studio recordings and live performances.

Effortless playability

The compound radius fingerboard transitions from a more rounded profile at the nut to a flatter shape at the higher frets. This design ensures comfortable chord playing and clean string bending across the entire neck. Coupled with 24 jumbo frets, the Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX allows for precision and ease in executing fast runs, arpeggios, and complex chord shapes. The pearloid sharkfin inlays are not just aesthetic; they provide a clear, visual guide to the fingerboard, enhancing playability for players of all levels.

Dynamic, high-output sound

Active Jackson-covered high-output humbucking pickups define the sound of the Soloist SLX DX. These pickups offer a wide dynamic range and high output, perfect for cutting through a mix with clarity and punch. Whether you're laying down heavy riffs or soaring solos, the pickups' responsiveness and tonal versatility can accommodate a wide spectrum of musical genres and playing styles. The three-position pickup blade switch, along with dedicated volume and tone controls, allows for easy sound shaping on the fly, catering to any performance or recording situation.

Unparalleled tuning stability

The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system is a standout feature for players who love to incorporate vibrato and dive bombs into their playing without losing tuning stability. This system locks the strings at both the nut and bridge, virtually eliminating tuning drift during aggressive playing. The Jackson sealed die-cast tuners further ensure that once you're tuned up, you stay in tune, regardless of the onstage antics or the intensity of your performance. This reliability makes the Soloist SLX DX a top choice for professional musicians who need their instrument to perform flawlessly night after night.
