Frequently Asked Questions
The crackle finish is a cosmetic treatment; it's not a protective layer, so expect some wear over time, which can actually enhance the distressed look.
While high-output, the pickups are well-voiced for Jackson and manageable for recording with proper gain staging and noise reduction techniques.
The SLXDX features a more modern 'C' profile, offering a slightly flatter feel compared to some of Jackson's traditional 'D' shaped necks.
