Shredding guitar with high-gain sounds.
The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX LRL Manalishi Green is a workhorse designed for pure shredding and juicy high-gain sounds. Featuring a slim full-length maple Speed neck and compound fingerboard radius, the Soloist offers unparalleled nimble playability in all registers. For appropriate sounds with the extra portion of pressure provide two Duncan Designed HB-103 humbuckers, while a Floyd Rose Special Tremolo invites uninhibited use of the whammy bar.
Armed with "speed neck" throughout, Duncan Designed HB-103 humbuckers and Floyd Rose Special tremolo, the Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX Manalishi Green is mercilessly trimmed for pure shredding.
The continuous "Speed Neck" of the X Series Soloist SLX DX shines with unrestricted playing characteristics up to the highest registers.
Nimble Neck-Through Design
A tried-and-true soloist design since the Shredder era in the wild eighties, the neck-through design promises highly manoeuvrable playing characteristics for virtuosic high-speed solos and intricate riffs. While the poplar body sits against the body with perfect balance, the full-length, graphite-reinforced maple neck offers excellent playing characteristics right up to the highest registers thanks to the "Speed Neck" profile and the compound radius that increases from 12" to 16".
Duncan Designed HB-103 ceramic humbuckers elicit razor-sharp rock and metal sounds from the guitar amp.
Duncan Designed Pickups
At the guitar amp, the Soloist SLX DX LRL delivers adequate sounds with two Duncan Designed HB-103 humbuckers for precise riffing and solos with endless sustain. With their juicy Output, the ceramic humbuckers derived from the legendary Distortion pickups put the amp under proper pressure and deliver a tight distortion that accurately represents every note, even in drop tunings. For control over the pickup here is a classic circuit with 3-way switch and controls for Volume and Tone ready.
Die-cast tuners with Jackson logo ensure precise tuning of the X Series Soloist SLX DX.
Floyd Rose Special Tremolo
Not complete Jackson the X Series Soloist SLX DX LRL Manalishi Green with practical hardware equipment designed for hard use. The Floyd Rose Special tremolo keeps the electric guitar securely in tune even after the most powerful dive bombs and squeals thanks to its double-locking design. In addition, six die-cast tuners on the pointed Jackson headstock ensure high precision when tuning the electric guitar.
Having tried playing MANY of these in my hands, it seems that the quality control out of the Jackson Indonesia factory is hit-or-miss. If you get a good unit without problems, it is a great guitar with a great sound for a great price! And the looks are so nice as well. The neck thru body construction is so smooth and sweet. However, you might get a dud that sounds horrible. Or it might have severe defects in the neck or locking nut. In my experience, about 50% are of poor quality.
