Jackson Soloist SLX Lightning Blue Overview
Distinctive and affordable, Jackson’s X Series SoloistTM models are built for speed, and loaded with purebred Jackson DNA.The X Series SoloistTM SLX features a basswood body, through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and tilt-back scarf joint headstock, and a 12"-16" fully bound compound radius rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets that 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.
Duncan DesignedTM alnico HB-103N (neck) and high- output ceramic HB-103B (bridge) humbucking pickups power this metal beast, which also includes single volume and tone controls, three-way blade switching and a Floyd Rose® Special double-locking two-point tremolo bridge system for superior string stability, sustain and dynamic tremolo action.
Sleek and deadly, the SLX is available in Lightning Blue or Satin Red Pearl with black hardware, pearloid sharkfin inlays and a traditional Jackson pointed 6-in- line headstock.
