Jackson X Series Soloist SL5X FSR Electric Guitar Purple Burst

Pro, 1. Great neck and fret work. 2. Has jumbo sized fret for easy playing and players that love to shred. 3. Comfortable body shape. 4. AMT reasonably priced compared to some of the other SLX models. 5. Has a Duncan Designed HB 103B, HB 103N and a Duncan Designed dual rail single coil. 6. Not too heavy so it's easy on the back. 7. Has a Floyd Rise Special double locking tremolo system for tuning stability and tremolo effects. 8. Has decent inlime tuners and a locking nut. 9. Sounds great. Cons, 1. There was hardly information to be found on this guitar. I even went to YouTube and no one even bothered doing a review. I may do one on my channel for that reason. 2. The one pro is also a con. Thr Floyd Rose is a Special, not a 1000 series nor an original Schaller so don't expect it to stay in tune very well without some tweaking. 3. The the bridge and neck pickups are modeled after the Seymour Duncan SH-6 Super Distortion, but the neck pickup sounds more like a Jazz model instead. Not really much of a con though. 4. The middle pickup can interfere with picking if not lowered. BTW I don't have a use for it do I set mine low. 5. This model has been discontinued so good luck with support other than the place you bought it from. I'm not sure if Jackson offers any support because I couldn't find this model on their website. I got this from a pawn shop for a far cheaper price than on here, but I figured I'd give my 2 cents because for what this guitar offers even with the short comings it's a gem.

I have always wanted a Jackson so I decided to do it. I finally added a Jackson to my collection. The neck is smooth like silk. The fret work is great, the sound is exactly what I would except. Has minor fret buzzing and could use a pro set up of you can't do it. The action is low and that's somewhat common. It's a give and take,, buzz buzz.

This is my second electric guitar, and so far it has exceeded my expectations. The sound is great, the fretboard feels smooth and easy to navigate, as well as being forgiving if finger placement isn't perfect. I love the style of the guitar as well. As someone who just is learning at home, this is a highly motivating piece of gear to own.

This was Just a Great Jackson all around you just can't beat the price point. Has great sound quality and comes with a great set up including Seymour Duncan pick ups and a nice Floyd Rose Tremelo system. And it is very easy to play and to me the possibilities are endless with this Guitar. My Favorite out of all my guitars I even like it better than my Fender Strat and Telecaster. I hope I can pop a picture in here of mine. Awesome quality and great Deal. Thank You

The pickups needed much more sustain for my taste in genres, but it is no doubt a great guitar! I took it back and got an SL2 and now I'm happy!

This guitar is excellent for beginner to intermediate players looking to shred. The pickups really have great natural harmonics and are spectacular at capturing the "Jackson" tone.
