new guitar: Soloist (pics)

[Deadlock]

Got it used, easily 9/10 condition. $495 at Guitar Center. Well, $295 cash + $200 trade for my Warlock. Good price? It's Japanese, not USA.

I think it's one of those Sam Ash exclusive SL2H guitars: http://www.samash.com/webapp/wcs/sto...0002_-49988798

My only issue with it is that the neck is thicker than the rest of my Jacksons. Not a problem, I'm just not used to it. It was SO dirty when I got it, but as you can see from the photos, I gave it a nice polishing and new strings.

Very nice guitar, and if im correct that was a limited run, and for $495 i say you got a good deal .

That looks like ebony.....? Doesn't say professional on the headstock does it? Archtop Pro? Would be funny to see 2 in one day (another guy was posting about one he's looking at, same color)

Either way, heck of a score!

Not ebony.

MOTO inlays as well.

But for $495 who's complaining.

Not a Archtop PRO , it does not have reversed inlays. That is the easiest way to tell it is a AT PRO . Still a good score for 495.00 Congrast

Nice score for the money for sure. The only thing stopping those from being perfect is the non-matching headstock. The logo is right at least though.

It's from the Sam Ass run...

I think it pisses a lot of people off the Sam Ass had the balls to call this thing an SL2H when it has nothing to do with an SL2H. An obvious marketing ploy to take advantage of the uninformed.

So exactly what model is it? Is it Japan or USA? DO you have a Headstock pic?

Regardless, I Love It!

I was surprised Jackson let them do that for that very reason. It's a very misleading practice that could misrepresent the quality of their USA made product. Not that the Japanese Jacksons are slouch products but you'd think they would have learned their lesson from the early 1990's Professionals.

It's Japanese. No headstock pic right now. But it's a standard black Jackson headstock, it doesn't say anything else.

Good eye. Enjoy

Yeah, I have one of those, too. Sam Ash is still blowing the new ones for about $900 new. They had two at my local store, I picked the better of the two, it's a decent guitar, not real comfortable to play though because of the square edges.

I think you got a good deal!

Sam Ass by me was all over with the pricing. One week I go in it's $799, then $999, then $899. WTF?
