Overview
Distinctive and affordable, Jackson's X Series Soloist models are built for speed and comfort! The X Series Soloist SLX DX is a venerable double cutaway workhorse that offers many fine features desired by today's shredders. The SLX DX features a poplar body, through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and tilt-back scarf joint headstock. Hosting 24 jumbo frets, its 12"-16" fully bound compound radius laurel fingerboard 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.
Duncan Designed alnico HB-103N neck and high-output ceramic HB-103B bridge humbucking pickups power this metal beast with an expansive voice loaded with crunchy, full-bodied tone ideal for brazen lead work or punchy rhythms runs. Tone is fully customizable with three-way pickup blade switching and single volume and tone controls, while a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system provides superior string stability and dynamic tremolo action. Sleek and deadly with signature pointed 6-in-line black headstock, the SLX DX is available in a Manalishi Green finish with black hardware.

I like it sounds fine, plays smooth, and pretty. The frets are perfect. But wont stay in tune. Might be the FR special and probably is. I have a few FR guitars and I'm use to setting it up once (1/2 hour or so) and having it be stable. But this goes out constantly. Had it 2 days and spent more time tuning than playing. Spending 750$ is just too much for this Jackson if I have to replace the FR.Returning.
