A 21st-century Axe with Classic Shred Styling
If you dig classic shred styling, but demand modern high-performance features, the Jackson X Series Soloist SL3X DX will make you a force to be reckoned with. Benefit from ultra-fast playability, thanks to a compound-radius fretboard, and incredible sustain and stability, courtesy of a graphite-reinforced through-body neck. Enjoy a massive array of scorching tones, thanks to a trio of high-octane Duncan Designed pickups. And when it comes time to unleash your arsenal of whammy bar tricks, this solidbody electric guitar's Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo will effortlessly oblige. Classic pearloid shark fin fingerboard inlays, aggressive-looking black hardware, and a light-catching gloss finish round out the X Series Soloist SL3X DX.
Compound-radius fingerboard provides the best of both worlds
The X Series Soloist SL3X DX sports a compound-radius ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12-inch radius that keeps things comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out — providing you with the best of both worlds. What's more, the Soloist SL3X DX's neck-through-body design elicits near-endless sustain; built-in graphite reinforcement rods increase neck stability, making it highly resistant to temperature and humidity changes.
A flexible assortment of Duncan Designed pickups
Great feel is only part of the equation. That's why Jackson equipped the X Series Soloist SL3X DX with a pair of Duncan Designed HR-101 Hot Rails and a hot-rodded HB-103B humbucker. At Sweetwater, we've found that this versatile pickup configuration delivers an abundance of useful tones. Whether you want it clean and glassy or rude and crunchy, the Soloist SL3X DX has you covered.
Floyd Rose tremolo dive-bombs with the best of them
For expressive performance, the Jackson X Series Soloist SL3X DX comes armed with a Floyd Rose Special. This double-locking tremolo is exclusively crafted for Floyd Rose, maintaining a feel and response akin to their classic designs, while utilizing zinc alloy saddles and a zinc alloy sustain block. Thanks to this trem, the Soloist SL3X DX tolerates depraved amounts of whammy bar abuse without going out of tune. So, shriek, flutter, squeal, dive-bomb, make crazy animal sounds — the Soloist SL3X DX is equipped for it all.
