Jackson Guitars - X SL1A DX RD CROSS DAGGER

Description

Distinctive and affordable, Jackson's X Series Soloist models are built for speed and comfort! The Jackson® X Series Soloist™ SL1A DX is a venerable double-cutaway workhorse that offers many fine features desired by today's shredders.

This Soloist model features an ergonomically curved poplar body and through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability and tilt-back scarf joint headstock. Hosting 24 jumbo frets, its 12"-16" compound radius bound 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.

A Jackson high-output humbucking bridge pickup and rail-style neck pickup power this metal beast with an expansive voice loaded with crunchy, full-bodied tone ideal for brazen lead work or assertive 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.
