Hello there,
I recently acquired my first Jackson guitar a sleek Soloist SLX with the stunning Satin Red finish. As someone who played various guitars over the years; I have always admired Jacksons craftsmanship and decided it was time to add one to my collection. Although; I am new to the world of setting up a guitar to suit my specific playing style; especially with a guitar as iconic as a Jackson.
I am hoping to get some advice on the best practices for setting up my Soloist to achieve optimal playability and tone.
The Floyd Rose Special bridge is new to me, and I’m still getting the hang of it. Any tips on maintaining tuning stability; especially during aggressive playing or dive bombs..
I prefer a lower action but without fret buzz. What’s the sweet spot for action height on a Jackson Soloist? Additionally; are there any specific intonation adjustments I should keep in mind?
The stock Duncan Designed HB-103 pickups sound pretty good; but I am curious if there is an ideal height that balances output and clarity; especially for high gain settings.
I usually play with 10-46 gauge strings. Would this be a good match for the Soloist; or should I consider something heavier or lighter?
Also, I have gone through this post; https://www.jcfonline.com/forum/equipment/jackson-usa-guitars/103196-finally-got-my-first-jackson-blue-prism-i-need-some-help which definitely helped me out a lot.
I am also open to any general setup tips or modifications that other Soloist owners have found to enhance their playing experience.
Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.
