New toy! Big pics.

SLSMG. Based on the serial number would I be correct in saying it's a 2004?

It's the model with the passive EMG-HZs, I will be replacing them with the EMG 81TW-X and 89-X as you can see, for some singlecoil/humbucker dualmode action. For some reason, I can't resist monkeying with my guitars...

I've seen threads saying both ways... does anyone know FOR SURE what type of locking tuners might fit on one of these bad boys?

Yes, you would!

I even made sure to get all of the headstock in the pics, just for you, RacerX. Yes, I know it's not the signature Jackson pointy style.

You're awesome; I don't care what all the other JCFers are saying about you!

Harpoon head

I want one of these, along with a SLS3 and a SL2H but we can't have everything enjoy your new guitar+pups!

I love this headstock. On some models it works. This is one of those models.

Assuming the tuners in your guitar are the usual Gotoh type then Gotoh Magnum Locks would fit fine.

That's a shot of the back of the headstock. I just want to be sure before I spring for something. I notice the arrangement of the tuners is a little weird, not like a regular 3+3 configuration.

I like that headstock too. Hoping to someday stumble onto steal on an SLS. I also want to find one of the bolt-on versions of that neck for a future project.

Also, any other suggestions/information on locking tuners?

[Rogueleader]

Fuck yeah. I'm glad you like it! I was sad to part with it, but it looks like you are doing it justice.

On my 3 other SLSMGs i use schallers, they fit without any drilling and work really well, I'll get you a link in a few seconds.

I always found sls model to be a tad on the trebly side. Maybe an 85 would do better in the bridge?

Awwww Ron, looks like you might have found yourself a forum bff! How cute and he can spell!
