Built for High Performance

The Jackson Adrian Smith SDX solidbody electric guitar is built for serious playing. The Iron Maiden axeman worked with Jackson to spec out his signature model, which sports a lightweight, resonant basswood body to help you sail through marathon gigs without fatigue. You get a fast-action bolt-on maple neck with a compound-radius maple fingerboard and jumbo frets for fluent high-speed soloing. With a high-octane Jackson bridge humbucker and middle and neck single-coils, this axe gives you massive tonal flexibility while a Floyd Rose Special vibrato handles your dive-bombs with aplomb. For an amazingly affordable guitar that can do it all, look no further than the Jackson Adrian Smith SDX.

High-performance design puts you in touch with your music

One of Jackson's mottos is "Choose wisely. Play better." That's not just hype, either. The fact is, a well-made guitar like the Adrian Smith SDX gives you a closer connection to your music. For instance, the Adrian Smith SDX features a compound-radius fingerboard, which is more rounded at the nut and flatter higher up the neck. This makes it easy to fret chords near the nut, while opening up the fretboard for soloing. The flatter higher frets also let you keep your action low without bottoming out when you bend notes.

For playability, you can't beat the SuperStrat recipe

The Jackson Adrian Smith SDX is, well, a SuperStrat. Take the most comfortable (and popular) solidbody electric guitar body style, hot-rod it with high-end features like a compound-radius fingerboard, then spec it with top-drawer components (Floyd Rose vibrato, anyone?). The result is a great-sounding axe that drips with playability from one of the companies that put the SuperStrat concept on the map.

Optimized electronics give you a staggering range of tone

Jackson's Adrian Smith SDX sports an electronics setup that stokes your sonic arsenal with massive tonal range. For those chimey, spanky single-coil sounds, you have single-coils in the neck and middle position - right where you want them. Smoldering at the bridge, you have a muscular high-output Jackson humbucker waiting to do some serious damage. All in, the 5-way blade selector serves up the gamut of (noise-free) tone you could ever hope to elicit from an electric guitar.

Jackson Adrian Smith SDX Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Lightweight, resonant basswood body
  • Compound-radius maple fingerboard
  • High-output Jackson bridge humbucker
  • Middle and neck single-coil pickups
  • Floyd Rose Special vibrato tailpiece

Pretty nice gitter for the money.

I got this guitar and immediately replaced the bridge pickup with a Dimarzio super distortion so I cannot review the stock pickup.
Otherwise:
The compound radius neck is superb but for one flaw. The E string are easily pulled off the neck as there in little space to fret tye strings without bending them. I think I can overcome this problem by modifying my technique, if not I will change tye nut to pull the 2 E strings onto the beck farther.
Otherwise this guitar is a steal for the money. I have always had a problem with strat style guitars and hitting the volume knob turning it down so I may also move the knob somehow.
The guitars compound radius neck is the ****. Years ago I played a Strat with a compound radius and now I must have this feature. Guitar plays well. Right out of the box action was a bit high for me. I changed the pickup, refloated the bridge for a set of 8's, dropped the action a bit and this guitar became as good as any I have ever played. You cannot find a better guitar for the money and sweetwater's set up for spot on. Intonation was perfect. Frets are perfectly leveled with true pitch and no buzzing from every string and fret. I will definitely be buying another guitar from sweetwater.

The Best Super-Strat

I wanted another Strat but I prefer shredder necks like the Wizard neck on Ibanez guitars. This Jackson compound neck is perfect. It's simple color scheme but it looks great. Comes with a Floyd Rose tremolo, so no need to upgrade tuners or saddles. Tight output jack, solid wiring, and the body cavity is shielded. The pickguard is not shielded but I'm replacing that anyway. The pickups sound great, but with any guitar you can always install new ones. For super Strats under $ this one is tops. Great customer service as always, thank you Nick Blough and Sweetwater!

Outstanding

I recently got this, and it is terrific. I also have a Charvel Pro Mod that is very similar and cost $ more, and this Jackson is just as good. Maybe better. The Jackson humbucker sounds just as good as the Seymour Duncan Distortion in my Charvel. The neck is very fast. The setup out of the box from Sweetwater was excellent, and I am picky. I couldn't be happier. The only issue is I bought this as a travel backup guitar, and it might become my QB1.
Rated 5/5

IMPRESSIVE!

This is one versatile awesome sounding guitar. It's been a month since It arrived and it is already my favorite guitar. Humbuckers sound fat a juicy and the floyd rose tremolo has been performing like a dream and not going out of tune at all. This guitar feels and sounds way more expensive than it is.
