Epic Tone and Performance

From solid riffs to intense solos, the Jackson Soloist SLXDX solidbody electric guitar is the affordable axe you want in your arsenal. The first thing you’ll notice when you pick up your Soloist SLXDX is how comfortable it feels. The body is lightweight poplar contoured with classic curves, and the neck is topped with a compound-radius fretboard, a favorite design among rockers here at Sweetwater because it lets you fret chords and solo with ease. Top it off with Duncan Designed humbuckers, and you have an axe that looks, plays, and sounds like it belongs onstage.

Choose wisely. Play better.

One of Jackson’s mottoes is “Choose wisely. Play better.” That’s not just hype either. The fact is, a well-made guitar, like a Soloist SLXDX, gives you a closer connection to your music. For instance, the Soloist SLXDX features a compound-radius fretboard, which is more rounded at the nut and flatter higher up the neck. This makes it easy to fret chords near the nut, while opening up the fretboard for soloing. The flatter higher frets also let you keep your action low, without bottoming out when you bend notes. And thanks to its neck-through-body design, the Soloist SLXDX also gives you epic sustain.

Floyd Rose Special vibrato for aggressive dive-bombs

In typical Jackson fashion, this incredible guitar was built with nothing but quality hardware on board. That’s why they gave the Jackson Soloist SLXDX guitar a real 2-point, double-locking Floyd Rose vibrato tailpiece. The lightweight Floyd Rose Special vibrato tailpiece gives you the real feel of an original Floyd Rose, adding to the Soloist SLXDX’s amazingly responsive feel.

Duncan Designed humbuckers deliver rock-ready tone

Great feel is only part of the equation. Jackson knows this better than just about any guitar maker. That’s why they’ve equipped the Soloist SLXDX with a set of extra-hot Duncan Designed humbucking pickups. An HB-103N pickup at the neck and an HB-102B at the bridge give you well-balanced tone with tight bass, glassy mids, and crunchy highs.

Jackson X Series Soloist SLXDX Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • A performance-built solidbody electric guitar made for metal and rock
  • Poplar Soloist body style is incredibly comfortable to play
  • Duncan Designed humbucking pickups deliver a huge range of tone
  • Compound-radius fretboard lets you easily fret chords and perform solo runs

Mod Job Guitar

So I purchased this guitar specifically to modify. I wanted a USA made soloist but didn't want to pay the USA prices. Opened up the box and there's the B string flopping around, great, I have do to a string change before I even get a chance to play it! Replaced the string and plugged it in, it sounded OK, about what I expected this guitar to sound like. The visible finish had no major flaws, I say visible because the paint was chipped under one of the tuners and one of the pots. No major defects were found on the neck or body.

Installed a Floyd Rose original, fat brass sustain block, titanium lock inserts, Grover locking tuners, Seymour Duncan Invader pickups, Mojo Tone 500K pots and a new USA made 3 way switch. I am now extremely happy with this guitar, it sounds and plays way beyond what I thought it would, and it didn't cost anywhere near what a USA model would cost! And I kinda had fun putting it all together!

Even if you didn't want to do any modifying to this guitar it is still a good buy, especially for a Floyd equipped guitar. Happy with my purchase.
Rated 5/5

Nice guitar for the price

I wasn't expecting too much... I have been a gibson and schecter fan for a long time, this guitar made me want to explore whole jackson series. Comfortable neck to play on, very nice satin finish and good pair pickups.
Rated 5/5

Great Value

It came quickly to the house, which was great. For the price, neck through body, floyd rose special, thin neck. Plan to change the pickups to pearly gates, brass trem block, noislesss springs, trem stop, and new floyd rose with all black parts. This is a great guitar to upgrade.

Rated 3.5/5

Good but not perfect

guitar is playable, but not in perfect by any mean. inspected frets from 1 through 24 and found between 17,18,19,20,etc. have rough edges and it can cut your fingers if you play up to that frets.
Floyd rose tremolo was not setup right not level, the rear was up a little.
