The through-body maple neck design enhances the guitar's stability and sustain. It's a method of construction that extends the neck piece through the entire length of the body, providing greater playability comfort and enhanced sustain.
The compound radius bound laurel fingerboard on the Jackson X Series Soloist SL1A DX Electric Guitar 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. This design offers a seamless transition between chords and solos.
The Jackson high-output humbucking pickups on the Soloist SL1A DX Electric Guitar deliver an expansive voice loaded with crunchy, full-bodied tones. They are ideal for bold lead work or assertive rhythm runs. These pickups are built for aggressive playing styles and maintain clarity even when delivering high-output tones.
The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system on the Jackson X Series Soloist SL1A DX Electric Guitar provides superior string stability and dynamic tremolo action. Its design allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge, resulting in excellent tuning stability and sustain throughout your most aggressive performances.

I really wasn't expecting much from this guitar, as it was on sale for an extremely good price. I figured it would be a b-stock item, or not set up well. No... This guitar arrived in perfect condition and it was set up really well. Frets are polished and rounded. Paint is mint. I really don't have anything bad to say about this guitar. I did have an issue with shipping, but it appears the issue was with UPS, who received the package, and then lost it shortly after. it took a while before I got it, but Adorama did work to get this resolved, which I appreciate.

It's a beautiful and well-made guitar. It's very light and the neck is thin and very playable. The Floyd Rose special works great although durability may be a concern, but that's an issue for another day. The humbuckers sound great although I would have liked to have had two separate volume knobs for them.
