Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Bloodshot Crackle Soloist SLX DX brings the same high-output, tremolo-equipped format to a distinct finish. Its basswood body and maple neck support a bound laurel fingerboard that changes from a 12-inch radius near the nut to 16 inches higher up, separating chord and lead-playing areas in practical terms. Jackson humbuckers handle heavy rhythm and lead sounds, with bridge, both-pickup, and neck positions available from the blade switch. A Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo supplies fine tuners for detailed intonation adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long rehearsal or performance sets that combine power chords with rapid solo passages.
- Using bridge, neck, or combined humbucker voices for heavy rhythm and lead parts.
- Players who incorporate pronounced tremolo dives and bending into their parts.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer a fixed bridge; this Soloist is equipped with a Floyd Rose Special tremolo.
