The Jackson X Series Soloist SLXM DX 6-String Electric Guitar is distinctive and affordable and is built for speed and comfort. The X Series Soloist SLXM DX is a venerable double-cutaway workhorse that offers many fine features desired by today's shredders.
Construction
The SLXM DX features an ergonomically curved poplar body, through-body maple neck with scarf joint, and graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and black sharkfin inlays, its 12–16-inch compound radius bound maple 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.
Mechanism
Duncan Designed alnico HB-103N neck and high-output ceramic HB-103B bridge humbucking pickups power this metal beast with an expansive voice loaded with crunchy, full-bodied tone ideal for brazen lead work or punchy rhythm runs. The tone is fully customizable with three-way pickup blade switching and single volume and tone controls, while a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system provides superior string stability and dynamic tremolo action.
Sleek Look
Sleek and sophisticated, the X Series Soloist SLXM DX is decked out in a classic Snow-White finish with gold hardware and pointy black headstock.
12-16 Inch Compound Radius Maple Fingerboard
Jackson pioneered the use of the innovative 12-16 Inch compound radius design, in which the maple fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.
Duncan Designed HB-103b/HB-103n Humbucking Pickups
Powerful Duncan Designed HB-103 humbuckers in the bridge and neck deliver a fiery high-output tone with lots of crunch and harmonics perfect for any flavor of hard rock or metal.
