Unleash pure metal fury with the Jackson® X Series Soloist™ SLX DX Crackle—a high-performance shred machine built for speed, power, and eye-popping style. With its aggressively contoured basswood body and Jackson’s signature neck-through-body construction, this axe delivers exceptional comfort for marathon sets, plus endless sustain and effortless access all the way to the 24th jumbo fret.

The maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods for rock-solid stability against climate changes, while the ultra-fast 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard ensures smooth, low-action chording near the nut and lightning-fast leads higher up the neck—without any fret-out.

At the heart of the SLX DX Crackle lies a pair of scorching Jackson high-output humbuckers, delivering thick, punchy tone with tight lows and searing highs—perfect for crushing riffs and screaming solos. A three-way blade switch, along with master volume and tone controls, give you total command over your sound. And thanks to the recessed Floyd Rose® Special double-locking tremolo bridge, you can dive, squeal, and flutter to your heart’s content—knowing it’ll snap right back in tune.

Finished in electrifying Silver Mercury or Bloodshot Crackle, this guitar is as fierce visually as it is sonically. With all-black hardware, dome-style control knobs, pearloid sharkfin inlays, and the iconic Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock, the SLX DX Crackle is a bold evolution in modern metal craftsmanship.
