collapse expand iconDescription

The all-new Jackson X Series Soloist SL5X model is loaded with all the player-centric features desired by today's fastest shredders.

The first of its kind in the Jackson lineup, the SL5X features an HSH pickup configuration with Duncan DesignedHB-103 bridge and neck humbucking pickups and a Duncan Designed HR-101M Hot Rails middle pickup, giving this beast its potent bite. Tone can be dialed in with five-way blade switching and single volume and tone controls, while a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system provides superior string stability, extended sustain and dynamic tremolo action.

Affordably priced, the SL5X also features a poplar body coupled with a through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint headstock. Hosting 24 jumbo frets, its 12"-16" bound compound radius laurel fingerboard with pearloid sharkfin inlays curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out.

Ergonomic and stylish, the SL5X is offered in stunning Burst finishes with black hardware and a Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock. Case sold separately.
