Jackson SLX X-Series Soloist, Lightning Blue

Full Description

Basswood Body

The Jackson X Series Soloist guitar features a basswood body, which is lightweight and eliminates heavy strain on the player's shoulder, for a longer, comfortable performance. The basswood body is finished in a Lightning Blue gloss, which provides a protective coating that will withstand knocks and bumps.

Compound Radius Fingerboard

The 2018 Soloist SLX features Jackson's unique and innovative compound-radius fingerboard design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This design provides a smooth playability for both chords and riffs whilst the flattened heel allows sensational accessibility and speedy at the high register, perfect for both lead and rhythm players.

Duncan Designed HB-103 Humbucking Pickups

The Jackson SLX Soloist is equipped with a pair of Duncan Designed HB-103 Humbucking pickups that are both very tight, and deliver superb definition. These pickups are especially designed for metal music, and even accommodate low tunings if required.
