Feisty Professional-grade Baritone from Jackson!

Jackson raises the stakes with the X Series Soloist SLA6 DX Baritone electric guitar, offering an enticingly affordable mid- to low-range option for heavier-handed guitarists. This Jackson baritone features an incredible white-binded nyatoh body, affording its wielder powerful punch, growl, and enviable sustain, in addition to making for the perfect building block for a heavier baritone. Sweetwater metalheads love that the maple neck includes graphite reinforcement, so there’s absolutely no reason to hold back when the moment calls! Follow its 24 jumbo frets up the speedy-playing laurel fingerboard and enjoy the effortless midrange roar of its EMG 81 and 85 pickups. Black hardware complements this axe throughout, from the HT6 bridge to the master volume and tone controls, all the way down to the iconic tilted matching headstock. It all adds up to the perfect combo of an aggressive-playing Jackson with the tonal freedom of a premium baritone!

Engineered to perform and outlast

No matter how hard it rocks, every guitar deserves to be treated to a fantastic tonewood. In the case of the SLA6 DX Baritone, it’s a match made in heaven! This axe’s arched nyatoh body is perfectly contoured for a comfortable feel, simultaneously providing the excellent sustain and punchy articulation expected out of a Jackson. And with an expertly reinforced maple neck courtesy of its graphite structuring, the SLA6 DX Baritone is sure to withstand the pressure of performance.

Expertly accented for a functional aesthetic

They say looks can kill, and the SLA6 DX Baritone is prime example! Black hardware accents this baritone flawlessly, and pairs beautifully with subtle piranha pearloid inlays. But Jackson knows that functionality is just as important as appearance, which is why this axe features their proprietary HT6 bridge to give you reliable intonation every time you take the stage. This is one instrument that you can count on to deliver not only a show-stopping appearance, but a trustworthy performance time and time again.

Appointed for optimal baritone performance

You’ll love the sound of these direct-mounted active EMG humbuckers. They possess an exceptional growl that’s perfect for translating the midrange beauty of a baritone guitar. Shape your SLA6’s tone exactly to your liking with the aid of its master tone, volume, and 3-way pickup selector. No over-the-top bells and whistles are needed with this beauty — the X Series Soloist SLA6 DX Baritone all about incredible (bari) tone and playability!

Rated 2.5/5

Badass guitar. For a baritone guitar though, I thought it would be setup to handle thicker string gauges.

This guitar comes stock with a 52g for the low 6th string and comes out of the box in B-standard tuning. I didn't think about this information much before I purchased it. I was hoping for a 6-string guitar that I could down-tune to G# standard. I also use 7-String guitars that have a 26.5'' that work and intonate in G# no problem & so I figured this Jackson would have no issues in that range as it is a 26.5'' baritone. However, as I was setting the SLA6 up I noticed the string notches on the nut and bridge saddles were rather small. After equipping a 64-14 string set it had massive intonation issues and really high action. I brought it to a local guitar tech to have the relief adjusted and the nut filed down a bit, but it still has intonation issues as the thick strings do not seat fully in the saddles. This guitar will work best for someone using 56 or thinner. If you're going thicker or lower tuned, maybe check out the ESP MH1000 6-String baritone that comes with a 62g stock. Other than that, the fit and finish is nice. Would have preferred locking tuners, but I don't think any Jackson X series comes with them.
