Product Detail
The Jackson brand is renowned for its cutting - edge guitar technology, and the X Series Soloist SL3X DX is a prime example. It combines classic style with modern materials and construction, making it a top choice for discerning players.
The poplar body has a stylish contour and a neck - through - body construction. This not only offers ergonomic comfort during long performances but also provides amazing sustain and smooth play up to the 24th jumbo fret. The maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods, protecting it from environmental damage. The 12' - 16' compound radius bound laurel fingerboard allows for easy chording near the nut and fast, fret - out - free leads as you move up the neck.
Loaded with a powerful trio of Jackson High output humbucking bridge and double rail pickups, the SL3X DX offers complementary harmonics and high - dynamic responsiveness. You can control these pickups' sound with a five - way blade switch, single volume, and tone controls.
The recessed Floyd Rose Special double - locking tremolo bridge system is easy to use and ensures precise tuning after every wild move. Available in a variety of finishes, including the new Absinthe Frost, it features Jackson's traditional elements like black hardware, knurled dome - style control knobs, pearloid sharkfin fingerboard inlays, zebra pickup bobbins, and the famous pointed 6 - in - line black headstock.

Using your Jackson X - Series SL3X DX Electric Guitar is a breeze. First, tune your guitar using the Jackson sealed die - cast tuners. Make sure to check the tuning regularly, especially if you use the Floyd Rose Special double - locking tremolo bridge system a lot. To change the pickup sound, use the five - way blade switch. You can choose different combinations of pickups to get the sound you want, whether it's a thick bridge - only sound or a more balanced middle - neck combination.
When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a stable environment. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity as the graphite - reinforced neck can be affected by large environmental changes. Clean the body and fingerboard regularly with a soft cloth. For the frets, you can use a fret cleaner to keep them in good condition. If you need to adjust the truss rod, do it slowly and in small increments, and always refer to the guitar's manual if you're unsure.
If you use the tremolo arm, be gentle when you're doing wild tremolo effects. After each use, make sure the guitar returns to the correct tuning. Also, check the strings regularly. When they start to sound dull or look worn, it's time to replace them with new nickel - plated steel strings (.009 -.042 gauges). Enjoy your guitar and create amazing music!
