I walked into a guitar center today and saw a Jackson SL1 in blue ghost flame with a non MOP headstock logo. It has the regular dinky headstock logo. The serial # is uo5900. Also the guitar was signed by mike Shannon( on the back of the headstock in silver pen). The Floyd was not recessed and had all silver hardware. The single coils said Seymour Duncan. The humbucker was blank. If anyone has any info please let me know the non recessed Floyd and the logo and the pickups just kinda have me lost (for a 98

In the late 90's there was a "Shannon" Soloist offered for a short while with the specs you mentioned. -
Here's a pic and information on that model from the 1998 catalog.

What's the controversy? Sounds like a Shannon Soloist, that's all."Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
Gotta get away from here.

I'm missing the controversy, all specs mentioned describe a Shannon soloist in blue ghost flame, also even if it isnt, not all USA Jackson guitars have a MOP logo
If the price is right you should buy it, i believe these arent very easy to findComment

It's 1300 at a Guitar Center in (I think) Fort Worth. And yeah, it's a Shannon soloist...Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to getComment

Looks nice. Need to work that price down to at least $1K IMO
Dustin,
I love how your GC has a used DK2 listed as a SL3. Good luck trying to get that Shannon at a decent price. I think they came stock with a Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge. I haven't heard one but I see this pickup getting a lot of flack on this forum.Comment

I do not have a photo memory by any means, but I do remember that serial number from a Shannon sold on Ebay a few yrs back. All of these Shannons from 98 are from the same range of serial number and that one ending in 00 jogs my memory. Also, I have a black one which helps me remember!Originally posted by Dustinofcharvel View Post"Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."Comment

If I could put my hands on it and check it out first, I'd probably be whipping out my wallet right now, if you get my drift.Comment

I thought about buying it.It has been there for a while.I just bought a SL2H at the GC in Arlington so I dont have the money to buy it now. I saw the Sl3 listed and i called them to see if it was still there and if it was a SL3. They had just listed it and didnt have a picture. I thought it was too cheap for a SL3. The guy assured me it was. I drove 35 minutes in rush hour traffic to find a DK2!Comment
