Compound-radius fingerboard: the best of both worlds





The X Series Soloist SLMX DX sports a compound-radius maple fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12-inch radius that keeps things comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out ? providing you with the best of both worlds. What's more, the Soloist SLMX DX's neck-through-body design elicits near-endless sustain; built-in graphite reinforcement rods increase neck stability, making it highly resistant to temperature and humidity changes.

Duncan Designed humbuckers deliver high-octane tone





Looking for high-octane tone? The Jackson X Series Soloist SLMX DX delivers the goods. That's because Jackson hooked up the Soloist SLMX DX with a set of extra-hot Duncan Designed humbucking pickups. An HB-103N pickup at the neck and an HB-103B at the bridge give you a well-balanced sound with tight bass, glassy mids, and crunchy highs. At Sweetwater, we've found that these pickups are excellent performers when you're craving rude, crunchy hard rock tones.





Floyd Rose tremolo dive-bombs with the best of them





For expressive performance, the Jackson X Series Soloist SLMX DX comes armed with a Floyd Rose Special. This double-locking tremolo is exclusively crafted for Floyd Rose, maintaining a feel and response akin to their classic designs, while utilizing zinc alloy saddles and a zinc alloy sustain block. Thanks to this trem, the Soloist SLMX DX tolerates depraved amounts of whammy bar abuse without going out of tune. So, shriek, flutter, squeal, dive-bomb, make crazy animal sounds ? the Soloist SLMX DX is equipped for it all.
