Description

Distinctive and affordable, the Jackson X Series Soloist SLX FR Spalted Maple is built for speed and loaded with purebred Jackson DNA. It features a basswood body with a beautiful spalted maple veneer top. The thru-body maple neck has graphite reinforcement and a tilt-back scarf joint headstock for greater playing comfort. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and pearloid shark fin inlays, the 12"–16" fully bound compound radius laurel fretboard 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 humbuckers power this metal beast with crunchy, full-bodied tones. It's ideal for brazen lead work or punchy rhythms runs. The tone is fully customizable with 3-way blade switching, and single volume and tone controls. The X Series Soloist SLX HT also features a Floyd Rose bridge.

A sophisticated and stunningly elegant guitar, the SLX Spalted Maple is available in Tobacco Burst or Transparent Purple Burst with black hardware and pointed black headstock.

    It's a shame there aren't many reviews out there on this or even videos. I have other Jacksons (low price Dinky's) and fell in love with the feel and the neck -- and this Soloist takes it to another level with the neck-thru construction adding stability, tone, sustain, and ability to reach high frets without a neck joint. Just a great feature set that makes this thing a unique instrument a high performance machine where others play it safe. First impressions (had it about a week) -- Floyd works well, overall sounds great, and the neck has amazingly low action and feel. Satin finish looks better than I thought it would and adds to the great feel on the neck.

  • DO NOT buy this guitar if you want the up to date model!

    You won't get what you order! I ordered 3 and got 3 wrong guitars. Wrong color and wrong pickups. One is made in China and the other in Indonesia. There is a differance but good luck on them sending the new one. I gave up.
