Okay guys, I have Had my USA select SL2H for a year now. Everyday I love this guitar more and more. It was my first guitar with a painted neck and it took a while to get used to it. My First JB and ebony board which also took a while to get used to but now I am hooked. This bastage is like a Z06. Its a bad ass with all the creature comforts. Whats great about it, is that anyone that wants one of these can get a really nice one off of Ebay for a grand.

Anyone thinking of getting a $700 guitar at Guitar Center should consider adding a little extra and make the plunge. What you will get for that extra $300 is unbelieveable!

and I think you hit the nail on the head of why JCF members and J/C afficianados believe what they believe about their favorite instruments. An Epiphone LP at 800 is ridiculous when compared to what can be had for 1000-1100 from J/C. For instance.
A real San Dimas Soloist can be had for a grand any day of the week.. Now if you want more appointments on it then the price begins to rise, but Gary Pihls old Soloist (still a celebrity-owned guitar) traded somewhere around 2500 bucks. That's less than the going rate (by 600 bucks) for a new LP Custom. If you want the newer Jacksons it can get a little pricier. Used you can get practically any Jackson for 2 grand or less, and any Charvel for 3000-3500 or less. Take a stroll through GC again, and see what is available in those price ranges that are superior instruments. Hard to find anything isn't it? I agree with you. That's why we love them. Bang for the buck. it just takes a few bucks to get started. I only resent the southeast asian $199 Daddy's J/M or Gc -type "Jacksons" because they degrade the value of the brand name.

I agree. Anyone that wants a select series can have one if they want one bad enough.

So you got your SL2H Bolted Steel for $1000? If you did then not only did you get an awesome guitar but one hell of a deal as well. And I do agree with you that SL2H's are awesome. I have quite a few of 'em.

I got a "brand new/Bolted Steel" SL2H from an online dealer for $1500, but there have been plenty of kick ass used SL2H's for a grand from reputable online dealers though. A used guitar wouldn't bother me.Out of all the guitars I have had, only 2 have been "new". Once I get the amp cranked up where the guitar comes from has never entered my mind. For a $1000 anyone can have a guitar that will hold its value

Look at this one "clicky"
