Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX – Silver Mercury Crackle

Stage Ready – The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX in Silver Mercury Crackle

The Jackson® name has always been synonymous with state-of-the-art guitar technology, and the company continues to lead the way in crafting instruments that exceed the demands of today’s most discerning players. Melding modern materials and construction with molten metal style, the Jackson X Series Soloist™ SLX DX Crackle features brand-new explosive Silver Mercury and Bloodshot Crackle finishes.

• Basswood Body
• Through-Body Maple Neck with Graphite Reinforcement and Scarf Joint
• 12″-16″ Compound Radius Bound Laurel Fingerboard with 24 Jumbo Frets and Pearloid Sharkfin Inlays
• Jackson High-Output Humbucking Pickups
• Three-Position Pickup Blade Switch, Single Volume Control, and Single Tone Control
• Floyd Rose® Special Double-Locking Tremolo Bridge System
• Jackson Sealed Die-Cast Tuners

A sleekly contoured basswood body and pure Jackson neck-through-body construction ensure ergonomic comfort during long sets, along with monstrous sustain and smooth playing all the way up to the 24th jumbo fret. Graphite-reinforcement rods run through the maple neck, protecting it against environmental depredations, while the ultra-fast 12″-16″ compound radius bound laurel fingerboard is built from the get-go for easy chording and riffing near the nut and rapid, fret-out-free leads as you move up the neck.

The SLX DX Crackle comes loaded with a pair of volcanic Jackson high-output humbucking pickups that give this metal beast an expansive voice loaded with crunchy, full-bodied tone ideal for brazen lead work or assertive rhythms runs. Single volume and tone controls along with a three-way blade switch shape the formidable pickups’ output, making their power yours to command. The recessed Floyd Rose® Special double-locking tremolo bridge system is fluidly easy to use, ensuring that your axe precisely returns to its original tuning after every dive-bomb.

Yet another bold step in the world of high-tech guitars, the SLX DX Crackle also bears Jackson’s traditional appointments – black hardware, dome-style control knobs, durable finish that easily shakes off sweat and other grime, pearloid sharkfin fingerboard inlays and the famous Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock.
