Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX, Manalishi Green Overview
The Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX is a mammoth of a metal guitar. But that's not to say it's not sleek and superbly easy to play - just that it sounds huge and feels powerful. Two Duncan Designed humbuckers serve as tonal battering rams, giving you more than enough firepower to make any high gain riff sound searing hot.
You'll be blown away by the sustain-boosting neck-through-body design too, which will make these strings bends wail on (almost) forever. And the legendary Floyd Rose Special bridge lets you add in your vibrato and dive bombs as you please - this is real head-turning quality at an affordable price!

Full Description
View Full DescriptionTurbocharged tone
Make each note soar. Your tone will rumble with searing power as you chug the strings and play through your songs. The Jackson Soloist is packed with potential as a result of its High-Output humbucking pickups, which offer both punch, clarity, and bite. You'll find that they naturally complement high gain tones by inducing crunch in each note you play, as well as offering enough dynamism for bringing about variety in your music. The bridge humbucker will give you a great deal of power in your licks, allowing you to create chunky rhythms and heavy sounding chords. The neck humbucker has a saturated tone which gives lead licks a beautiful, singing quality, allowing you to express your own musical voice and ensure every note is powerful.
Neck-through to legendary lead playing
The neck-through-body design of this guitar helps it stand apart, as most guitars have the standard bolt-on design. It helps to improve playability at the upper frets, as the join between the neck and body feels ultra-smooth and easy to manoeuvre around. But that's not all - it also massively enhances the sustain of each note, meaning it will ring out for much longer periods. Perfect for those wailing, emotive solos and string bends.
Floyd Rose Special tremolo
For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years the Floyd Rose locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique sounds such as dive bombs. Unlike non-locking tremolo's the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch but still retain the initial tuning by the addition of a locking nut at the end of the headstock.
