Jackson guitars are speed machines and feature a high-performance guitar design. Conceived as a launching platform for technically advanced guitar playing, the X Series Soloist SLATTXMG3-6 is rife with Jackson's bloodline--sophisticated ergonomic design, ultra-fast playability and, of course, monstrous tone.

Dual graphite reinforcement rods run the length of the neck to fortify it against the extremes of nature, buttressing it against warping while a speedy 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the black plastic nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out.

A pair of EMG active humbucking pickups--an 85 neck pickup and 81 bridge pickup--generate versatile, huge and high output tones for brutal distortion and clear, crisp cleans. The Jackson adjustable compensated strings-thru-body bridge produces massive sustain, and when combined with the Jackson-branded tuning machines, rock-solid tuning stability along with precise intonation.

Classic Jackson appointments include the instantly recognizable piranha inlays, black hardware, single-ply neck binding and the Soloist's ergonomically arched top for playing blazing licks with comfort. Sleek, refined, and dangerous, the X Series Soloist SLATTXMG3-6 is art brought to life, tempered with high-tech performance for the ultimate metal machine.

I should start off by stating I've played guitar since 1968, and built / restored / repaired guitars for over 25 years.When I first opened the box, I was very pleased with it's cosmetics, beautiful top, construction, finish, and components. The toggle switch knob was broken in shipping, but I had a replacement in my parts bin. I plugged her into my Marshall TSL tube amp, an that lasted about 30seconds, because the guitar was NOT set up, in tune, or playable. I unplugged it a complete set up and tried again. OMG, THIS GUITAR ROCKS! I have two other vintage Jacksons, and this guitar has the crispest tone, best sustain, and controlled feedback of all of them. I Love this guitar. Just expect to have to take it to a good tech for a set up, and it's well worth the price.
