Jackson X Series Soloist SL3X DX OX BLOOD
Product information "Jackson X Series Soloist SL3X DX OX BLOOD"
The name Jackson has always been synonymous with cutting-edge guitar technology, and the American company continues to lead the way in building instruments that meet the demands of today’s most discerning players. The Jackson X Series Soloist SL3X blends classic styling with modern components and construction techniques and is another bold step into the world of high‑tech guitars.
The ergonomically contoured poplar body and Jackson neck-through-body construction provide ergonomic comfort during long stage shows as well as huge sustain and smooth playability up to the 24th fret. The SL3X is fitted with a powerful trio of Jackson pickups — a high‑output humbucking bridge and Jackson double‑rail pickups — delivering rich harmonic overtones and a dynamic response. A volume and a tone control plus a 5‑way switch shape the pickup tones.
The Floyd Rose Special double‑locking tremolo system is easy to use and ensures the guitar returns precisely to its original tuning after every use. The X Series Soloist SL3X features Jackson’s traditional appointments — black hardware, dome knobs, a finish that resists sweat and grime, pearloid sharkfin fretboard inlays and the famous pointed 6‑in‑line headstock.

Jackson Guitars arose from Grover Jackson's takeover of the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape still available today and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was perfect: heavy metal enjoyed a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (sparked by Eddie Van Halen) was for so-called super- or powerstrats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST shape but fitted with more modern and stylistically appropriate components like humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forge of first-class, USA-built high-end custom instruments, seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the era. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East to offer their instruments in more affordable price ranges. Since 2002 both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
