Jackson SL3X X-Series Soloist
Product no: 9000-0023-1182 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Lead guitarists usually aren't afraid to step into the spotlight. Of course, a striking guitar that's perfect for playing solos can go a long way to boost your confidence. Take this Jackson SL3X Soloist, for instance. Its Metallic Pearl White finish may not be as outrageous as some of the other models in the same series, but will certainly get you noticed on stage. Armed with a pickup configuration of one Duncan Designed humbucker and two Duncan Designed single-coils, this guitar produces a versatile tonal palette, making it suitable for sparkling cleans as well as face-melting solos.

SL3X Soloist: a comfortable instrument

Jackson guitars are characterised by their relatively wide, flat necks. As such, they make it easy to play chords and give you plenty of space between the strings for tasteful vibrato. The SL3X Soloist also boasts a rosewood fretboard with a compound radius that flattens out as you move along the neck towards the body, allowing for easy string bending. The guitar's neck is perfectly suited to tapping too.

Jackson Guitars: innovative designs

Jackson Guitars originated in 1980, when talented young guitarist Randy Rhoads approached Wayne Charvel - then the owner of Charvel's Guitar Repair shop - with an idea for an innovative V model. In collaboration with Tim Wilson and Mike Shannon, the Concorde was created. This guitar was so different from the other instruments Charvel was issuing at the time, that guitar builder Grover Jackson decided to introduce them under his own name. Thanks to their stylish designs, fast necks and powerful sound, Jackson guitars are perfect for hard rock and metal.
