Overview

Continuing the legacy of the impeccable Soloist guitar lineup.

Distinctive and affordable, Jackson’s X Series Soloist models are built for speed, and loaded with purebred Jackson DNA.

The X Series Soloist SLX features a basswood body with a beautiful spalted maple veneer top, through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and tilt-back scarf joint headstock, and a 12"-16" fully bound compound radius dark walnut fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets that curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording, and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out.

Duncan Designed alnico HB-103N (neck) and high-output ceramic HB-103B (bridge) humbucking pickups power this metal beast, which also includes single volume and tone controls, three-way blade switching and a Floyd Rose Special double-locking two-point tremolo bridge system.

A sleek and stunningly elegant guitar, the SLX is available in Natural with black hardware and pearloid sharkfin inlays.
