Description
The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX in Gloss Black is a fast-playing, high-output machine designed for players who need a shred-ready setup without spending custom-shop money. It's built for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want modern metal tones, Floyd Rose flexibility, and a neck-through feel that's built to last. Whether you're riffing hard or blazing through solos, this one's meant to keep up.
With Duncan Designed HB-103 pickups in the bridge and neck, you're getting a hot output with plenty of crunch and bite-perfect for high-gain tones but still responsive enough for cleaner parts. The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo lets you dive, squeal, and shift pitch without losing tuning, and the 3-way switch gives you access to all the classic humbucker configurations you'd expect. The poplar body keeps things lightweight, while the laurel fingerboard and jumbo frets help your hands move fast without feeling stiff.
The 12"-16" compound radius and neck-through build give this model its playability edge. Combined with graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint, the neck stays stable through all kinds of climate and stage conditions. We've found this model delivers more than expected at this price point; it's a solid choice for serious players stepping up their rig.
