The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   Conceived as a launching platform for technically advanced guitar playing, the X Series Soloist SLATTXMGQ3-6 is rife with Jackson’s bloodline - sophisticated ergonomic design, ultra-fast playability and, of course, monstrous tone. Dual graphite reinforcement rods run the length of the one-piece Maple neck with speed profile to fortify it against the extremes of nature, buttressing it against warping while a speedy 12”-16” compound radius RW fretboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the black plastic nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out. A pair of EMG active humbucking pickups, an 85 neck pickup and 81 bridge pickup, generate versatile, huge and high output tones for brutal distortion and clear, crisp cleans. The Charvel-Jackson compound radius compensated bridge produces massive sustain, and when combined with the Jackson-branded tuning machines, rock-solid tuning stability along with precise intonation. Classic Jackson appointments include the instantly recognizable piranha inlays, black hardware, single-ply neck binding and the Soloist’s ergonomically arched quilt Maple top for playing blazing licks with comfort. Sleek, refined, and dangerous, the X Series Soloist SLATTXMGQ3-6 in Transparent Purple is art brought to life, tempered with high-tech performance for the ultimate metal machine. This guitar came from Jackson as a slight flaw, which means slight cosmetic flaw or an overstock item. There are some flaws in the binding on the bottom of the fretboard, above the neck pick up. We have taken detailed photos, please take a moment to look through them before purchasing.  At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously! That is why we have our in-house technicians do a multi-point inspection on each product, ensuring that it'll be ready to play when it hits your hands! Included in your shipment will be instructions on care and maintenance.  We want to help you Grow Your Passion®   The Music Farm is an Authorized Jackson Dealer.
