Which year did the SL1 get routed for *normal* single coils?

[Xyrium]

Whereas it seems the earlier models could only fit either EMGs or Jackson singles...

Also, any idea if they ever offered a hardtail SL1?

[neilli]

Not sure on the pickups, but they still offer a hardtail - the SL1T. Unless you mean a hardtail strat-type bridge, in which case, no, they've never done a production model like that..

[Xyrium]

Thanks Neilli. I was thinking string through body. When I search under USA Select Series, the only hardtail is a SL2HT (HT for Hard Tail I suppose).

(HT for Hard Tail I suppose).

Ummm....No.

Hot t1ts?

Hallowed Turf?

And besides, you're too old and have been around here too long to avoid the original question. Now get to it!

Soloist, 2 hums, trem?

[neilli]

tunamatic?

[Xyrium]

Seared tunamatic?

[DonP]

No. Tunamatic salad.

High mercury content in those bridges. That's caused by the Tunamatics eating smaller bridges that contain mercury, so it raises the level of mercury in the Tunamatic.

SL = Soloist. 2H= two humbuckers. T = tunomatic bridge. Though, years ago, certain models had the T designation for trem.

They did have the 22-fret USA SLS a few years ago, just not in an H/S/S version. Check out the blue one.

I think the single coils were routed for "normal" singles in the mid to late 90's. I could be wrong though. my USA DK1 was routed for regular singles and that is a 1997 model. I think the soloists did the same around then.
