Take a Stab at X Series Expertise
Jackson has sharpened its Soloist lineup with the X Series Soloist SL1A DX, a high-performance take on one of the brand's most popular shred-heavy instrument models. Featuring a lightweight poplar body with a precision-cut Soloist figure and a deluxe maple neck, it's evident that Jackson aimed for precision and movement; and take it from us — the X Series Soloist SL1A DX nails these facets to a T. Performance-enhancing X series additions include Floyd Rose Special hardware and a pair of Jackson's high-output humbucking pickups, delivering a wide range of possibilities in dynamics and tone. Plus, durable black hardware and onboard Jackson-sealed die-cast tuners keep your instrument's intonation stable throughout titanic divebombs and aggressive sets.

Dual-wield exceptional comfort and speed
Looks can be deceiving. Case in point: while the X Series Soloist SL1A DX speed-inspired design is obvious, this axe provides incredible comfort in the hands of any player. The guitar's maple neck sports a speed neck profile, a neck-through joint, and a gloss color-matched finish, ensuring lightning-fast access to every fret from top to bottom. Likewise, the X Series Soloist SL1A DX's soft poplar body features a double cutaway design that's easy to navigate in any playing position. Throw in a deluxe 12-inch to 16-inch compound radius and pearloid inlays on the instrument's laurel fingerboard, and you'll be whipping up serious shred-level licks in no time flat.
Dressed to kill with Floyd Rose regalia
Every fan of Jackson's Soloist lineup knows that the guitar is built for speed. To keep this balance in check, Jackson outfitted the X Series Soloist SL1A DX with a Special double-locking tremolo, which facilitates everything from low-and-slow lead lines to downright sinister dive-bombs at the drop of a hat. Also onboard is a Floyd Rose Special locking nut, ensuring your intonation remains stable throughout any scale of movement from the tailpiece. Make no mistake: with a valuable Floyd Rose combo on hand, going rogue with the X Series Soloist SL1A DX is no hurdle.
Mix-piercing Jackson high-output pickup combo
A pair of Jackson high-output pickups put the X Series Soloist SL1A on a collision course for serious tonal opportunity. The bridge-position high-output humbucker captures vicious low-end punch and sustain, while the High Output Mini Rail humbucker in the neck supplies crystal-clear top-end articulation with minimal hum — perfect for scorching leads and detailed melodic riffs. Together, this pickup duo is a perfect pairing for a range of metal-heavy projects whether you plan on laying down a rhythm or taking a blistering solo. Take it from Sweetwater's most discerning guitarists: a high-output pickup combo in hand is a recipe for nearly any metal-heavy project in the book.
