Jackson High-Output Humbucker
Whether rock or metal - the Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX makes a ruckus with two Jackson high-output humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Heavy distortion and rough distortion sounds are ideally processed and convey any high-gain nuances when it matters. At the same time, the pickups offer a voluminous sound, making clean and crunch sounds just as crisp to the ear. Overall, the electric guitar offers a dynamic bass, mid-range and treble spectrum, allowing all genres to be played and covered.
Two Jackson high-output humbuckers provide a dynamic, fat sound.
Floyd Rose Special DoubleLocking Tremolo
When it comes to heavier genres, the demand for a reliable instrument with robust intonation despite regular use increases. With the Floyd Rose Special DoubleLockingTremolo the Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX stays in tune even after heavy dive-bombs or pull-ups. The Floyd Rose R3 locking saddle provides additional tuning support and ensures long-term stable tuning.
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.
