This Jackson X Series Soloist SL1A DX is drawing attention as a strong-priced Floyd Rose superstrat with a striking graphic finish. The current code has been working for many orders, with totals landing around the high $300s shipped or with tax, and the price is described as near the bottom for this model. The main tradeoffs are the Floyd Rose setup, which can be tough for beginners and annoying for string changes, and the finish, which some do not love. Build quality also looks inconsistent, with reports of paint defects and occasional flawed guitars, so careful inspection matters.

Common Questions (5)

  • The code can still work, but it may show as invalid if pasted with extra spaces. Typing it manually has worked for multiple orders, and the deal was still active as of 8/12 @ 1240 CST.

  • $319 is a strong price for this model, with buyers noting they paid $499 for the same guitar earlier in 2025 and calling this the bottom-dollar level for about two years. The deal has also been seen around $376-$379 shipped after the code.

  • Some units have arrived with paint defects, so a careful inspection on delivery is important. The Floyd Rose Special can also be difficult for beginners to tune and makes string changes more tedious, and the poplar body is noted as less favorable than alder for sound and durability.

  • It can arrive perfectly, but there are also reports of paint defects and at least one return-worthy flawed guitar. Inspect the finish immediately after delivery and be prepared to contact support if anything is off.

  • It has the Jackson neck-through feel, but one owner says it does not resonate like an SL3X DX and feels different in use. That makes it a better fit for shoppers who specifically want this model's look and hardware rather than a direct SL3X DX substitute.

Received the guitar yesterday. It came with paint defects. Properly inspect your guitar. I am also disappointed with Adorama's customer service.

I think Adorama is a clearing house for other stores' B-stock. I received a perfect guitar and also flawed one another time that I had to send back.

A poplar body (instead of Alder) and a Floyd Special hurt the guitar for sound and durability even on sale. It's a polarizing graphic, also. Not bad but not as good as usual.

What do you expect at that price? Go to Guitar Center and buy one for 600 then. I have bought a few guitars feom Adorama and have always been satisfied.

That's not relevant. Whatever the price is, the condition of the guitar is not disclosed as defective or used. The "deal" is conceived as a "deal" here because the price difference between other retailers, not the condition of the guitar.

I simply stated information. Outrage elsewhere.

Screaming deal, but this had Floyd Rose, and from what I understand this is difficult to tune if you're a beginner, and changing strings is a pain.
Block it till you're ready to use it.
