Info request: Soloist Professionals

[DonP]

I hate the H-S-S setup in my DK-2 (don't like the middle single coil).

Did they ever make a Soloist Professional, neck-thru, ebony w/MOP Sharkies, with a H-H setup? Or am I wasting my time looking and should just get a SL2H?

Yes.. -> the JACKSON SOLOIST ARCHTOP PRO (TREM) in the early 90's

Also keep your eyes open for a 1997-98 USA SL-2 (not SL-2H) which was a dual-hum model with blank ebony fretboard, black neck binding, JT580LP trem and Kent Armstrong pickups. I have one and have been happy with it, no mods necessary. They tend to run a couple hundred dollars cheaper than the typical USA Soloists, if you can find one.

Technically, the Archtop Pro was a setneck, not a neckthru, but the heel shape is the same, so it's no big difference.

There also is the Charvel model 5...not a Jackson professional but its forerunner, with a pair of hum and an unbound rosewood fingerboard...

as said before, it was a set-neck and it has the lespaul scale 24 3/4".
the soloist was 25.5" scale.
