Thoughts on the SL2H-V?

[Cliff]

The prices have been going down over time, too, probably cause they can't shift them. The same thing happened with their CS Rosewell Rhoads run (I was tempted...)

[Tho]

Sweet. Now my only problem is that Jackson won't let them ship guitars to The Netherlands. I guess they won't ship to Canada either?

[shreddermon]

The introduction of the Custom Select line must have pulled the rug right out from under these. Available non-recessed Floyds, custom colors and other options at reasonable prices. Not sure there's much of a compelling reason for the MZ run anymore.

[neilli]

Yeah, I agree Pat - unless you want exactly those features (crownheads, script logo) you can pick and choose your own very similar build from JCS specs..

[Tho]

Very true, but soloists in the Custom Shop Select range still start at 3K. I totally dig these SL2H-V's :-)

Anyone has experience with The Music Zoo? And do they ship to Canada?

[shreddermon]

That's list price, not what you'll actually pay with a decent dealer discount.

Custom Select SL2H - list price starts at $3,333, many no cost options including non-recessed Floyd and custom solid color options.

MZ SL2H-V solid color - list price of $3,500

Your choice.

[Tho]

Ah ok. Well, I still dig the smaller headstock and vintage logo. I don't remember seeing those options on the spec form.

Tho, have you contacted The Music Zoo?

Although the official policy is that US dealers cannot sell outside the US, I know that it happens.

[Nightbat]

Since these are dealer-exclusive, and not 'made to order' the chances of TMZ selling them overseas are a lot greater

I would even think trying to order a TMZ-specced custom shop thru your local dealer would recieve a big "NO!" from Jackson

Just remember to count the frets and check if they didn't do a Semi-Steve Stevens on the pickup routes

I did (but I'm the most inpatient person ever, haha) and it's gonna be fine


Nightbath: Bastard! But it's actually the reason I stopped my CS plans and compensate this 'loss' with another guitar I really like.

I like all of the ones I've seen so far. I think guitars look killer in a natural finish. Especially the brown mahogany one I saw one the music zoo site. The dots looked good on it too IMO.

[leftykingv2]

I think that is a misconception. I can usually get a step and a half pull-up on my non-recessed trems.

+1 I have an original 86 Kramer Baretta that's non recessed and I can get a good amount of pull. Almost two whole steps.

[Tho]

So.. I just made a deposit on the natural mahogany one... SIKED!

[shreddermon]

Nice, mahogany will sound killer on a Soloist. congrats.
