About Jackson Soloist SLATX8Q MS

Under the spotlight or in the studio, the Jackson X Series Soloist Arch Top SLATX8Q MS stands as a pinnacle of modern electric guitar design, tailored for musicians who dare to push the boundaries of playability and sound. This 8-string multi-scale marvel offers a seamless blend of ergonomic comfort and advanced musical technology, setting a new standard for guitarists seeking to explore the depths of their creativity.

Crafted with a solid poplar body, the SLATX8Q MS boasts a visually stunning arched quilt maple top, finished in a mesmerizing Transparent Black Burst that accentuates its sleek contours and sophisticated craftsmanship. The through-body maple neck, with its scarf joint and dual graphite-reinforcement rods, ensures unwavering stability and resilience against the rigors of aggressive playing styles.

The neck's 12"-16" compound radius and bound laurel fingerboard are engineered for fluid hand transitions, accommodating both rhythm and lead techniques with ease. The 24 jumbo frets provide ample space for intricate fingerwork, while the unique Jackson 4x3 AT1 headstock adds a touch of distinctive class to the instrument's overall aesthetic.

At the heart of the SLATX8Q MS's tonal arsenal are the Jackson uncovered 8-string blade humbucking pickups. These high-output pickups are meticulously calibrated to deliver a spectrum of sounds, from crystal-clear articulation to ferocious distortion, ensuring that every note rings true with full-bodied richness.

Control over the pickups is intuitive and precise, thanks to the single volume and tone knobs, along with a three-way toggle switch that allows for swift tonal adjustments mid-performance. The guitar's innovative design incorporates Jackson-designed individual bridge saddles, staggered to perfection to accommodate the multi-scale lengths of 26" to 28". This thoughtful feature significantly enhances intonation and string tension, providing a comfortable and consistent playing experience across all eight strings.

The Jackson X Series Soloist Arch Top SLATX8Q MS is not just an instrument; it's a statement of artistic intent, cloaked in a sinister aesthetic with all-black hardware that commands attention. Whether you're executing complex riffs or laying down a powerful rhythm, this guitar is engineered to elevate your music to unprecedented heights.
