General
Are you a rock or metal guitarist and are you looking for an affordable solid body guitar to take it to the next big step? The SLATXMG 3-6 Satin Black might be of great assistance. This Jackson Soloist from the X series delivers consistent high-gain sounds and is very comfortable to play. Its sounds are provided by the active EMG humbuckers and selected wood types while its playing comfort derives from the construction, the neck profile and the compound radius of the fretboard.
Jackson SLATXMG 3-6 Satin Black: sound and playing
The Jackson Speed Neck is made of maple and features a rosewood fretboard with compound radius. Because the neck has two set-in linden wings, this matte black Soloist 3-6 delivers a firm acoustic basic sound, ready to be amplified in a balanced manner. Thanks to the compound radius, playing stable chords in the lower positions of the neck is just as easy as bending strings higher up on the neck. Moreover, the thin profile of the neck also allows for very smooth licks and riffs. The Floyd Rose Special tremolo bridge keeps the SLATXMG in tune, even after the most extreme dive bombs.

Jackson's guitars have an elegant design, a sharp headstock, shark fin position markers, and a powerful sound that is perfect for metal music. The Soloist (with neck-through-body construction) is the most popular series, of which the X models are the more affordable versions.
