Detail 01
Neck-through construction with graphite reinforcement
The neck runs through the body, and graphite reinforcement is part of the neck design.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around a neck-through design, 24 jumbo frets, and a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo, the Soloist SLX is set up for expressive lead work and aggressive tremolo use. Its compound-radius laurel fingerboard is more curved near the nut and flatter farther up the neck, supporting chord work as well as low-action soloing. The two Duncan Designed humbuckers pair a warmer neck voice with a more biting bridge option, selectable individually or together.
