The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX HT is a high-performance electric guitar built for speed, precision, and aggressive tone. Designed with modern metal players in mind, this sleek double-cutaway instrument delivers exceptional comfort, rock-solid stability, and powerful sound. From its neck-through-body construction to its compound radius fingerboard, every detail supports fast playing, smooth bends, and reliable performance on stage or in the studio.
Neck-Through-Body Construction
The maple neck runs through the body for enhanced sustain and superior resonance. Graphite reinforcement rods and a scarf joint provide added strength and long-term stability.
Ergonomic Poplar Body
The contoured poplar body offers a lightweight feel and balanced tone while maintaining comfort during long playing sessions.
Compound Radius Laurel Fingerboard
The 12 to 16 compound radius fingerboard curves for easy chording near the nut and flattens toward the higher frets for fast leads and effortless bends.
24 Jumbo Frets
Jumbo frets allow smooth string bending and precise articulation, making them ideal for technical and high-speed playing styles.
High-Output Humbucking Pickups
Dual high-output humbuckers deliver powerful, full-bodied tone with tight lows and crisp highs, suitable for aggressive rhythm and cutting lead work.
Versatile Pickup Switching
A three-position blade switch allows selection of bridge, neck, or combined pickups for a wide range of tonal options.
Hardtail Bridge
The hardtail bridge enhances tuning stability and sustain while providing a solid, direct feel for precise attack.
Gloss Black Finish with Classic Styling
A sleek gloss black finish, pearloid sharkfin inlays, and a pointed headstock complete the iconic Soloist look.
