    I'm not too familiar with either guitar. I think the Jackson you mention is a neck-thru MIJ out of mahogany. Does the Jackson have an ebony fretboard with phirana teeth? Check for fretboard cracks from the ebony drying out.

        A used SLSMG typically sells for about $5-600 unless it has one of the rarer transparent finishes. Which finish and pickups does this guy's SLSMG have? The original version was satin black and had EMG-Hz pickups. Those typically go for about $450 now. The later ones with gloss finishes and active EMGs will sell for a bit more.

          i had a trans red SLSMG and it was an amazing playing guitar. i am NOT a fan of MIJ jacksons, but that SLSMG was killer. it was mahogany neck-thru. mine had SD custom 5 and SD '59 zebra pick-ups.

              I would trade in a heartbeat just to get rid of the Dean.

                  i love them both, the dean plays awesome, one of thee best Ive played for a forgien guitar, plus its from my hero dimebag, I got it cuz of him. Jacksons are sweet guitars too, I think the slsmg has the emghz's in it, If I were to trade Id would rather have something with a floyd.

                        Sharkies come stock on right-handed Jacksons..................

                        the "snowdrift" inlays are stock only on left-handed Jacksons.


                        I'd drop the Dime on the Dime, but that's me
                        Why the hell doesn't Eddie pick up a goddamned guitar and play something?

                          Of course if you come here asking that people will say go for the Jackson. You need to play it first and see how it plays for YOU before you can decide.
