Get to know them!





With its glam-rock good looks, shred-friendly feel, and incendiary tone, the Jackson X Series DK3XR M HSS is a tone chaser’s dream axe. Featuring a Jackson Speed profile neck capped with compound-radius maple fingerboard, the X Series DK3XR M HSS is built for blazing-hot solos and manic riffing. Plus, the HSS pickup configuration opens up a sea of tonal options, from spanky single-coil sounds to crunchy humbucker thunder. For whammy wizards, the X Series DK3XR M HSS comes equipped with a Floyd Rose Jackson tremolo, a ubiquitous double-locking tremolo bridge system preferred by guitarists at Sweetwater. If you’re in need of an affordable guitar that’s able to handle heavy technical playing, then you can’t go wrong with the X Series DK3XR M HSS from Jackson!





Compound-radius fingerboard: the best of both worlds





The X Series DK3XR M HSS sports a compound-radius maple fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12-inch radius that keeps things comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out ? providing you with the best of both worlds.

Optimized electronics give you a staggering range of tones





The X Series DK3XR M HSS sports an electronics setup that stokes your sonic arsenal with massive tonal range. For those chimey, spanky S-style sounds, you have single-coils in the neck and middle position, right where you want them. Smoldering at the bridge, you have a muscular high-output Jackson humbucker waiting to do some serious damage. With the 5-way blade selector, you have access to myriad tones, whether you’re chugging, shredding, or anything in between.





Floyd Rose tremolo dive-bombs with the best of them





For expressive performance, the Jackson X Series DK3XR M HSS comes armed with a Floyd Rose Special. This double-locking tremolo is exclusively crafted for Floyd Rose, maintaining a feel and response akin to their classic designs. Thanks to this trem, the DK3XR M HSS tolerates depraved amounts of whammy bar abuse without going out of tune. So, shriek, flutter, squeal, dive-bomb, make crazy animal sounds ? the DK3XR M HSS is equipped for it all.
