Metal / Modern Guitar

The Jackson SLX DX LR Silver Mercury Crackle combines a basswood body with a graphite-reinforced maple neck-through-body. Like the other instruments in the X Series Soloist series, its two high-output Jackson humbuckers deliver a powerful sound that can be adjusted via its volume and tone controls. Its Floyd Rose Special tremolo ensures tuning stability and perfect feedback after each dive-bomb. A crackle finish adds a bold touch to this guitar.

With the Jackson X Series Soloist SLX DX, every note stands out thanks to a neck-through-body construction that delivers extended resonance and sustain. The laurel fingerboard with a compound radius promotes a comfortable grip, from riffing all the way to the 24th fret. The neck stability is reinforced by graphite rods for increased durability.

The Jackson high-output humbucking pickups on this Soloist SLX DX deliver a rich and explosive sound palette. They are perfectly suited to the demands of metal, whether you play fiery leads or intense rhythms. Thanks to the 3-way selector, a single movement is enough to switch between biting tones or powerful bass, all modulated by volume and tone controls.

The Floyd Rose double-locking, guarantees you precise effects and optimal tuning stability, even during the wildest descents. This bridge, recessed into the body, contributes to playing comfort, allowing energetic solos without fear of losing tuning.
