sl2q mah received this week in great condition

[EricJ]

I received my sl2 mah in burnt cherry in perfect condition
I had sent back an sl2q in trans black that had a bad neck.
I was disappointed that the trans black is no longer available. This one came with JB and 59 pickups and the new one had distortion mayhems, and i believe it is mahogany and not alder as all of the ads say. Its a really pretty guitar. So far its awesome. Stays in tune, its my first Floyd Rose, also own a 2012 Epi Les Paul and a 1989 HSS Squier Strat.

What's your opinion on the SD mayhem pickups?

What's your opinion on the SD mayhem pickups?

The 'Mayhem' is a set of Duncan Distortions - http://www.seymourduncan.com/product...stortion_mayh/ 16.6k in the bridge and 12.7k in the neck. Often found the on-site Jackson descriptions were misleading / confusing at times.

This would be my reference point for comparing SD pickups - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryzie8mham8 - There's also a great re-take of this which could help with the comparision - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qxrSBBlzoU

Would appreciate pics from the OP though - it's a guitar I'm awfully tempted by.

No pics? No guitar.

They are definitely hotter than the 59 & JB, the harder you hit the strings, the more they kind or light up. I think its just a matter of turning the guitar volume up or down and the amp gain up or down to get a tone that you want. The more I play this guitar the more I like it.

I cant find how to post pics I'll keep trying

[Mudlark]

You need to first load your pics on a photo sharing site like photobucket, tinypic, etc. and then copy the link here.

Great looking guitar! Congrats. Out of curiosity, what's the second letter of the serial number? I'm just interesting in knowing at what plant it was made.

It's a beauty. Those piranha inlays are perfect for an ebony board. I looove ebony.
