Product Description
The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX HT in Gloss Black is a sleek, high-speed metal machine designed for players who want effortless playability, aggressive tone and rock-solid tuning stability at a wallet-friendly price. With its neck-through construction, compound radius fingerboard and high-output humbuckers, this Soloist is built to handle everything from rapid-fire riffs to searing leads with ease.
Combining a contoured poplar body with a reinforced maple neck and a bound laurel fingerboard, the SLX DX HT feels fast, comfortable and familiar the moment you pick it up. Add in a simple, effective control layout and a dependable Jackson hardtail bridge, and you have a no-nonsense workhorse that is ready to hit the stage, studio or rehearsal room without fuss.
Built for Speed and Comfort
The Soloist body shape is ergonomically carved to sit snugly against your body, whether you are standing or sitting. A slim neck profile, deep cutaways and generous upper fret access make fast runs, wide stretches and complex chords feel natural, helping you play longer with less fatigue. The gloss black finish and pointed headstock complete the classic Jackson metal aesthetic.
Neck-Through Stability
A through-body maple neck runs the full length of the guitar, enhancing sustain and giving you a smooth, uninterrupted feel up to the 24th fret. Graphite reinforcement rods and a scarf joint add extra strength and stability, helping the neck stay true under changing conditions and more extreme tunings. The gloss colour-matched neck finish ties the whole look together.
Compound Radius Fingerboard
The bound laurel fingerboard features Jacksons 12 to 16 inch compound radius, which is more curved near the nut for comfortable chords and rhythm work, then gradually flattens out towards the upper frets for low, fast action and big bends without choking out. Jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays complete the high-performance playing surface.
High-Output Humbuckers and Hardtail Bridge
Jackson high-output humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions deliver a powerful, modern voice with plenty of crunch and saturation for metal and hard rock, while still cleaning up when you roll back the volume. A three-way blade switch and single volume and tone controls keep things intuitive and quick to adjust. The Jackson hardtail bridge anchors the strings securely for solid tuning stability and strong sustain.
Features
- Neck-Through-Body Maple Neck with Graphite Reinforcement - The neck runs the full length of the guitar, improving sustain and resonance while providing seamless access to all 24 frets. Graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint add long-term stability, so the neck stays straight and responsive under heavy playing and string tension.
- 12 to 16 Inch Compound Radius Laurel Fingerboard - A rounder radius near the nut makes chords and rhythm parts feel natural and comfortable, while the flatter radius higher up the neck allows for ultra-low action and wide bends without fretting out, ideal for fast solos and technical playing.
- Jackson High-Output Humbucking Pickups - Purpose-built for modern rock and metal, these humbuckers offer tight low end, punchy mids and cutting highs. They handle high gain with ease, delivering saturated lead tones and articulate rhythm sounds, all controlled via a simple three-way blade, volume and tone layout.
- Jackson Hardtail Bridge and Sealed Die-Cast Tuners - The fixed Jackson hardtail bridge provides a solid anchor point for the strings, enhancing sustain and helping keep tuning stable during aggressive playing. Paired with sealed die-cast tuners, the hardware setup is reliable and low maintenance.
