Jackson

collapse expand iconDescription

Melding classic style with modern materials and construction, the Jackson X Series Soloist SL3X DX is another bold step in the world of high-tech guitars. A stylishly contoured poplar body and pure Jackson neck-through-body construction ensure ergonomic comfort during long sets along with monstrous sustain and smooth playing all the way up to the 24th jumbo fret. Graphite-reinforcement rods run through the maple neck, protecting it against environmental depredations, while the ultra-fast 12"–16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard is built from the get-go for easy chording and riffing near the nut and rapid, fret-out-free leads as you move up the neck.

The SL3X DX comes loaded with a select power trio of Duncan Designed pickups; high-output HR-101 Hot Rails single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions are matched to a powerful HB-103B humbucking bridge pickup for complementary harmonics and highly dynamic responsiveness. Harness the sonic horsepower of these pickups with 5-way pickup blade switching and single volume and tone controls.

The recessed Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system is fluidly easy to use, ensuring that your axe precisely returns to its original tuning after every dive-bomb or flutter.

Stunningly wicked, the X Series Soloist SL3X DX bears Jackson’s traditional appointments—black hardware, knurled dome-style control knobs, pearloid sharkfin fingerboard inlays, zebra pickup bobbins, and the famous Jackson pointed 6-in-line black headstock.

    But the cheap Floyd won't stay in tune but I figured I'd have to swap that and the pick ups.

  • Great guitar and amazing tones!

    As soon as I heard my first Jackson guitar I knew I had to have one. Walked into Guitar Center and picked up and SL3X and had to have it! Ordered mine in silver and loving every minute!
