Jackson S Series Soloist - SLX DX (B&W Satin Hydro-dip) w/Jim Root EMG's

This guitar is used and shows some light wear. A slight stain can be seen on the far sided cutaway as well as some light imperfections on the face of the guitar. The hydro dip makes it difficult to find these imperfections. Frets have plenty of life left. This guitar does not include a case and weighs in at 7.7lbs.

This guitar has had it's pickups upgraded to the Jim Root EMG's.

Here's more info on the pickups from EMG:

   "Jim Root, a long time user of the EMG 81/60 combo, began the process of developing a signature set well over three years ago. After trying various prototypes Root was inspired by a set of modified Retro Active pickups to tailor his tone. He settled on a set that gave him everything he loved from the 81/60 with the added benefits and versatility of the Retro Active design.

   Unlike traditional open coil pickups, both the bridge and neck pickup utilize stud poles. The fingerboard pickup uses ceramic studs giving it a clean high-end percussive tone. The bridge pickup has black steel poles and features a ceramic magnet, similar to the EMG 81. Both pickups feature custom Retro Active preamps exclusive to the Root set."

From Jackson:

Built for speed and loaded with purebred Jackson® DNA, the X Series Soloist™ SLX DX Swirl models also come with a budget-friendly price tag.

The SLX DX Swirl features a basswood body paired with a through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and tilt-back scarf joint headstock. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, 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.

Jackson® high-output humbucking bridge and neck pickups deliver an expansive voice loaded with full-bodied tone for blazing leads and plenty of crunch for aggressive rhythms runs. Tone is fully customizable with three-way 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.

Another boldly-styled step in the world of high-tech guitars, the SLX DX Swirl models feature matching Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstocks and black hardware.
