Jackson Soloist SL3X DX Bolt On - Yellow Crackle

Melding modern materials and construction with molten metal style, the JACKSON X Series Soloist SLX DX Crakle solid body electric guitar features brand-new explosive Yellow Crackle finishes.

A sleekly contoured basswood body and Bolt On construction ensure ergonomic comfort during long sets, along with great sustain and attack and ease of playability all the way up to the 24th jumbo fret.

Ultra-fast 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard is built from the get-go for easy chording and riffing near the nut and rapid, fret-out-free leads as you move up the neck.

The SL3X DX Crackle comes loaded with a select power set of Jackson mini rail humbucking pickups in the middle and neck positions and a high-output EMG HZ (passive) humbucking bridge pickup for complementary harmonics and highly dynamic responsiveness. Single volume and tone controls along with a five-way blade switch shape the formidable pickups’ output, making their power yours to command. The recessed Floyd Rose® Special double-locking tremolo bridge system is fluidly easy to use, ensuring that your axe precisely returns to its original tuning after every dive-bomb.

Yet another bold step in the world of high-tech guitars, the SL3X DX Crackle also bears Jackson’s traditional appointments—black hardware, durable finish that easily shakes off sweat and other grime, pearloid sharkfin fingerboard inlays and the famous Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock.

Skull knobs complete a really aggressive and cool looking guitar

Basswood is a very good tonewood, used by many high-end makers for its very light weight.
Basswood bodies have a fat and well-balanced tonality. There’s a strong midrange, but also a certain softness, breathiness, superb dynamics and definition.

Fingerboard is made of Laurel. It's a spectacular and often overlooked guitar tonewood. It has the look and feel to that of East Indian Rosewood, offering rich overtones and brilliant highs that produce lively and dynamic performances. It's sound is often compared to that of Brazilian Rosewood.
