I finally scored a Jackson Stealth TH-2, in Cobalt Blue Satin and chrome hardware to match my beloved DR-2 USA. Got it for STUPID cheap on eBay, with hardcase and lots of extra goodies. After a string change, bridge block and cleaning (it was pretty gross out of the box), it looks and plays great! I remember seeing them back in 1996-97 at Guitar Center and lusting for one, but all I could afford was what ended up being my first Jackson: a JS-1 Dinky Reverse for $250. The TH-2, shipped in case, ended up costing less than that ten years later!
The headstock and fulcrum trem are an acquired taste, but none of my current guitars had either, and I've never had an H/S/H pickup arrangement before. Ash is my favorite body wood for both look and tone, although I don't know if I'll swap out the pickups or just leave them. A Full Shred would sound great in the bridge, but we shall see. The only thing I don't care for is the rather light rosewood board, but that's a minor issue. Did I mentioned it was STUPID cheap?

And now, on to the pics...
