  • Anyone Recommend the SL2H-MAH?

    I have only played alder USA Soloists. How are the Mahogany ones? Just the same as a regular Alder SL2h but with a Mahogany body and thinker maple top? Might pick one up along with a Adrian Smith...

    As you'd imagine, they're warmer. I like the JB in them much more than in the regular soloist. Mine's got about a 1/8" maple top, i'd reckon.
    I like EL34s.

      I dont really find much difference as I use EMGs and racks, but looks wise, its the one that makes people drool. I love just looking at the back of it. Its not as nice as the GFs ass, but its nice........

              I will say this though, the only possibly adverse angle I can think of is it will be heavy. I have a Mahogany guitar with 3/4 maple cap, I had to find a strap that was soft and dispersed the weight. Other than that, I think youre golden if you pick one up.

                Y'know if Fish-n-Game want to raid Jackson and destroy all their stock of pinstripe-flame maple, I won't complain.
                Seriously, it's the same stock they used on the 1990/91 catalog cover model. Get some better wood.

                The Trans Black's quilt looks nice, but unfortunately it's Trans Black. Put the Cherryburst on that instead.


                And try a Duncan Custom in the bridge of the SL2H-MAH.
                I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

                  I actually like their flame maple, like the cherry burst one in the link. Looks good to me, kinda got a classic look to it. :dunno:

                    I might get the strap honestly. Weight is not an issue, never has been for me at least. Thanks for the input though.


                    Thing is I have been job searching for a while. Once I get it, one of these will be mine!

                      FWIW, I have a custom shop SL2 that's mahogany (no maple cap though). It's very much brighter than my PRS, though this may be down to the pickups (Humbuckers From Hell, which I understand are pretty bright). And yep, it's pretty heavy.
                      My other signature says something funny

                        My SLATQH isn't heavy at all. It's much lighter than my SL2H actually, but sounds even better.

                          Those SLATQHs are pretty awesome looking guitars, let's hope one day they bring back the production models with 24 frets!

                            I prefer the MAH to the SLATQH. The neck on my SLATQH feels like a baseball bat compared to my MAH.........

                              My SL2MAH is a tad brighter than my 88' Soloist, prob due to the top.
