I joined the dark side.....

[aldog1330]

I've been lurking for a few weeks now, but finally have purchased my first Jackson and joined the dark side. I picked up a used SLSMG in satin black for cheap, threw in an EMG85 in the bridge and an 81 (for now anyways) in the neck, and the guitar has overtaken my Les Paul Studio with Duncans as my number 1. I've never been so satisfied with a guitar! I've noticed that the JCF community has a sweet collection of guitars too, and now I have GAS over a custom shop SL2HT which I can't afford [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Anyhoo, here is the SLSMG:

I thought about getting one of those. What does the neck feel like? (shape).

Re: I joined the dark side.....

It's thin - not as thin/flat as my brother's dinky reverse, but rather a bit rounder in the back and the fretboard is not as flat. I had trouble playing his guitar, but I have no issues with this one.

Nice snag, those are great playing guitars, and it's good to see you got rid of those nasty EMG-Hz pickups. Welcome to the forum! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Looks fantastic! From where and for how much did you buy it, if you don't mind my asking? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyways, that's a sweet guitar and I hope you feel right at home (but keep your damn ass off my couch)!

Re: I joined the dark side.....

Welcome to the JCF and congrats on the sweet guitar! Just so you know though, here the term "I joined the dark side" usually means you bought an Ibanez! Anyhoo, again, welcome!
