The Jackson X Series Soloist SL1A DX is an expertly crafted electric guitar that gives you the speed, performance and distinctive style serious players need. Designed for guitarists who want to stand out from the crowd, the SL1A DX double-cutaway body provides ergonomic comfort and easy access to all 24 jumbo frets. With its compound radius bound laurel fingerboard—curving dramatically at the nut for comfortable chording yet flattening out by the neck joint for effortless soloing—this Jackson electric guitar ensures low-action bends without fretting out.

Equipped With a Floyd Rose Special Bridge for Rock-Solid Tuning Stability

Keeping your guitar in tune is crucial, especially during complex solos and whammy bar acrobatics. That's why the Jackson SL1A DX comes equipped with a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system. The Floyd Rose's locking nut and tuning pegs provide unparalleled tuning stability compared to traditional vibrato systems. Now you can dip, dive and shred to your heart's content, confident that your Jackson Soloist will stay perfectly in tune through even the most demanding performances.

Powered by Jackson Humbucking and Mini-Rail Pickups for Bold, Crunchy Tones

Under the hood, a Jackson high-output humbucking bridge pickup and mini-rail neck pickup give the SL1A DX an assertive, crunchy voice perfect for metal and hard rock. Compared to single-coil pickups, the humbucking bridge pickup delivers a thick, saturated distortion that won't get drowned out when you dig in hard. The crisp, articulate mini-rail neck pickup complements it nicely, adding definition to lead lines without muddying up chords. This versatile pickup configuration handles everything from wailing solos to rhythmic chugging with aplomb.

Equipped With 3-Way Pickup Switching and Tone Controls

The Jackson X Series Soloist SL1A DX gives you total tonal control with its three-way pickup blade switch and master volume and tone knobs. Kick the blade switch into the bridge position for maximum output and girth. Roll it back to engage both pickups for a more textured rhythm sound. Neck pickup alone serves up cleaner tones for jazzy chords or bluesy licks. The volume and tone knobs allow even further fine-tuning of your signature sound.

Built on a Poplar Body With Maple Neck and Scarf Joint

The SL1A DX gets its resonant, sustained tones from its poplar body paired with a fast maple neck. The tilt-back headstock provides ideal string tension behind the nut to enhance tuning stability and sustain. Topped with a scarf joint for added strength, the maple neck offers the stability and snap desired by lead players. Overall, the Jackson X Series Soloist SL1A DX is thoughtfully designed to remove any obstacles between you and unleashing your creativity through your playing.
