2000 Model Jackson Soloist natural blond

[Robert Burns]

Only this one does not have "Made in the USA" on the matching flamed
maple headstock? Beautiful, and plays like a dream, but im a bit confused
as to the "Licensed by Floyd Rose Trem"... does this mean it may possibly
be an import ? I'll try to get a serial #, but have some of the soloists
NOT had the "USA" script in the headstock? Thanks. This one screams
USA made...but im curious?

[quiksilver]

Sounds like a MIJ SL3.

[dg]

Sure sounds like an import. Ebony or rosewood board? Binding or no?

Ebony... and bound. Boy if this is an import...sure is on par quality
wise with my 92' Dinky. Its just beautiful... is $1000 for a dead mint
SL3 an ok price?

[toejam]

An SL3 is not bound.

custom.....hahahaha........ some poor bastard spec'd it without the custom shop and USA logo.....

[quiksilver]

The SL3 didn't have ebony, either. This is becoming intriguing. I'd love to see a pic of this mysterious beast.

SL-4. . .like this?

[Sanctuary]

He said ebony!

Looks exactly like this one...only Hum/single/Hum pups... and my bad...
very dark Rosewood board...so its an SL-4? Is a $1000 a bad price?
Its in this condition! Not even micro swirlies in the clearcoat.
Too much $'s? Thanks for the great info

[dg]

Didn't you say it was bound? If not, probably a modded SL-4, or maybe some kind of special run for a dealer with middle single. If it's bound, then?? Also, how many frets? Notice the SL-4 has 22 vs. 24 for pretty much every other Soloist.

Robert. . .the pix I posted, they are asking $599.99 for it in mint condition,so if yours is an import,should be around the same $$$$. Brand new should be $999.99 +.
USA gonna be more as you know.

[rjohnstone]

Sounds like you found an import that someone has tweaked a bit.

[Robert Burns]

If anyone cares about this old thread... i have to admit i made a few
crucial mistakes on describing this obvious SL-3
First...its a dark Rosewood..NOT Ebony (yes im blind!)
2nd.. the fretboard is NOT bound! Gee...that about sums
it up , yes? No not that i dont pay attention! That this mysterious
Jackson is a MIJ import. :-))
