Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX
- 25.5" scale length
- Poplar body
- Through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint
Summary
Distinctive and affordable, Jackson's X Series Soloist models are built for speed and comfort! The X Series Soloist SLX DX is a venerable double cutaway workhorse that offers many fine features desired by today's shredders.
The SLX DX features a poplar body, through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and tilt-back scarf joint headstock. Hosting 24 jumbo frets, its 12"-16" fully bound compound radius laurel fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out.
Jackson high-output humbucking pickups power this metal beast with an expansive voice loaded with crunchy, full-bodied tone ideal for brazen lead work or punchy rhythms runs. Tone is fully customisable with three-way blade switching and single volume and tone controls, while a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system provides superior string stability, improved sustain and dynamic tremolo action.

"Genuinely the nicest experience shopping here. The staff were so friendly and spent a good deal of time (unhurried time!) helping me and explaining everything to me so I could choose the right items for my setup. If there were more than 5 stars to give they would get them all."

"The highly professional and helpful staff here are just outstanding. As a music teacher myself, I know I can always find great advice and high quality products. This is my one-stop-shop for all things music on the Central Coast."

"Came through looking for a guitar. Chris was run off his feet serving multiple customers but still kept checking in with me and pulling guitars down left right and centre for me to get a feel for. His expertise made the whole process comfortable and I was able to return later that same day and buy the guitar Chris helped me select. Great service and will definitely be back."

"We rushed in with a minor guitar emergency (major according to the 10 year old) and were sorted in about 5 mins. Lovely staff, excellent customer service. Will be back."
