2006 Jackson soloist atchtop - MIJ

[Monkeychunki]

Hi, this may have been asked already so apologies in advance however i've searched and cant find anything on this. Does anyone know if these were a special run and are they a similar quality to the original Pro's. Also were they made in the same factory as the Charvel pro mod MIJ? Cheers

Haven't seen that before. Nice guitar, don't like the price though. Looks like a mix of DKMG & SLX.
Poplar? I would have thought it'd be Alder but it says it's a Sam Ash run so anything goes I guess.

Ron?

oh and affiliation

If I saw that one I'd think it was just a SLAT6. Weren't there some that came with EMGs?

I can't quite tell, does that look 24.75" scale?

It's a Sam Ash incorrectly called SL2H. There was also a blue flametop version with SD pickups. Retail was about $899.

This.

I thought it was a SLAT6 too. Note also there's no "Professional" on the headstock.

I didn't realize the Sam Ass(hole) SL2H was an arch top. Also only had seen the trans blue one (with Duncans). Good to know for the future.

I bought the same guitar for 650 with shipping.. Nice guitar but nothing special.

If you could replace the fretboard with bound ebony and MOP sharkies, it would be quite nice.

Thanks for all the info, gonna give this a miss

Hi there

I recently bought the Sam Ash Soloist for a really good price (380$ with case shipped). It was used but in excellent (almost new) condition.
Seeking information about the guitar I contacted the consumer relations department in Jackson/Fender so they could tell me about the Sam Ash Run (the one that I have, the metallic black with EMG's)
This was the mail that they sent me:

Hello Nicolas, My apologies for the delay, I have been waiting on a reply from our marketing team for Jackson on this model. The information they were able to offer was that we built between 24-48 of these, the bodies were alder with maple through necks, a rosewood fingerboard, EMG 81/85 pickups and a Floyd Rose FR1000 series tremolo, they were manufactured in Japan. Our records show that this serial number was completed January of 2007. Let me know if you have any further questions.

It looks like it is quite rare with less than 50 only made.
The guitar is just beatuful and plays like a dream. It is very well crafted. The color is a metallic black with matched headstock. The color looks like black, but with light the metallic flakes has some bronze color wich is really beatiful. The guitar sounds awesome unplugged and thorugh the amp has a really thight sound with a focused bottom end.
