Shred in ergonomic comfort and style with the Jackson X Series Soloist Arch Top SLATX8Q MS. A high-performance evolution of the electric guitar, this 8-string multi-scale model unlocks the possibilities of an instrument by accommodating two scale lengths on one fingerboard, thus improving overall playing comfort, tension and intonation.
The SLATX8Q MS features a poplar body capped with a rippling arched quilt maple top and a through-body maple neck with scarf joint and graphite-reinforcement rods for maximum neck stability. Designed for both breakneck playing and comfort, the 12”-16” compound radius bound laurel fingerboard features 24 jumbo frets and a Jackson 4x4 AT1 headstock.
Chosen specifically for their complementary sound, a pair of Jackson uncovered 8-string blade humbucking pickups drives this guitar’s versatile sound, combining for highly balanced, flexible tone, with plenty of high output for pristine cleans and snarling distortion. Single volume and tone controls shape the pickups’ output, which can be further refined with the three-way toggle switch for the precise voice required to bring your musical vision to life. To help improve intonation, the guitar has been equipped with Jackson designed individual bridge saddles, staggered to accommodate for the two scale lengths.
Sinister and deadly, the SLATX8Q is available in a Transparent Black Burst finish with all-black hardware.
Neck is insanely thin(in a good way!) my first ever multi scale but I’ve been in love with this guitar since it’s been delivered. Great for some double dropped tunings. Great for an 8 string especially if you’re still getting used to them due to the thin neck.

Incredible Modern Metal Machine
Amazing playability across the entire fretboard and has been consistent in intonation. The included dual humbucker setup growls out the lowest notes with clarity.

Must be set up!
I've had this guitar for a few weeks now. I use it mostly for metal, but have also used it for classic rock songs during a gig. Before I get into the bad stuff, let me just say this guitar is awesome. This guitar was absolutely awful when it arrived. Aside from Fedex taking a .75" chip out of the bo...

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly
Despite the mixed reviews I decided to order one of these and give it a go.
The postives. . . the neck is awesome! It's very thin and stream line, easy to play. The guitar looks great, the weight is great and it's pretty easy to play.
The negatives. . . the half a dozen frets that were lifting ou...
