Metal-ready axe with high-output humbucking pickups and ergonomically curved nyatoh body.
The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX electric guitar unleashes your inner metalhead with its sleek contours and smooth playability. Designed for marathon gigs, the ergonomic nyatoh body eases playing strain. The maple neck and laurel fingerboard team up for fluid fretting, while jumbo frets invite fast leads and expressive vibrato. This Soloist rocks a Floyd Rose Special bridge for rock-solid tuning through dive bombs and tremolo abuse. Active Jackson humbuckers serve up a crunchy and full-bodied tone that's perfect for wailing leads or rhythmic riffage. Blade switching and single volume and tone knobs put tone shaping at your fingertips. Go from glassy cleans to saturated distortion with a flick of the switch. The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX melds comfort, stability and versatility for dominating the stage all night long.
Slay All Night With an Ergonomic Body
The contoured nyatoh body of the Soloist SLX DX lets you slay for hours on end. Its curves fit your torso and rib cage comfortably, reducing playing fatigue. Nyatoh's lightweight yet rigid nature also prevents excess neck dive. The ergonomic body sports an eye-catching polka dot finish that looks as good as it feels. It's built for the stage, ready to deliver hours of blistering solos without compromising comfort.
Fluid Playability With a Maple Neck and Laurel Fingerboard
When it's time to shred, you want a fast, fluid neck that facilitates intricate solos and speedy leads. The Soloist SLX DX delivers with its maple neck and laurel fingerboard. Maple provides rock-solid stability for confident, accurate fretting hand performance. The laurel fingerboard is strong yet smooth so you can race up and down the neck with ease. Extra-large frets also invite expressive techniques like wide vibrato and deep bends without choking out notes.
Sculpt Savage Metal Tones With Twin Humbuckers
At the heart of the SLX DX's commanding voice are a pair of Jackson's own zealous humbucking pickups. High-output design provides the gain and output needed to summon thick, saturated crunch, perfect for rhythm chops and leads that soar with singing sustain. The bridge humbucker delivers biting treble attack, while the neck pickup provides a smooth, vocal midrange. Toggle the blade switch to blend their distinctive voices.
Stay in Tune Through Dive Bombs and Trem Abuse
Nothing kills a smoking solo faster than going out of tune, but the Floyd Rose Special bridge keeps this Jackson Soloist rock steady. The Floyd Rose Special's double-locking design maintains precise tuning through all your whammy bar acrobatics. Drop bombs, flutter tremolos or get that helicopter sound—this guitar stays in tune no matter how crazy you get. The recessed bridge also improves playing comfort, providing a smooth feel across the palm.
Shape Your Sound With Pickups, Switching and Controls
The versatile electronics of the Soloist SLX DX allow tremendous tonal flexibility. Active Jackson humbuckers serve up a bold, focused voice perfect for searing leads or thick rhythm chops. Three-way blade switching activates neck, both or bridge pickups for everything from glassy cleans to saturated distortion. Single volume and tone knobs put sound shaping right at your fingertips. Roll back the volume for cleaner tones or crank it for high-gain soloing. The tone knob dials in the perfect amount of bite and brightness.
