  • Any members here own a soloist with a maple fret board?

    I've never understood why Jackson does not offer this as a standard option or model with the SL1/SL2 models.
    I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
    I've been playing my GMW strat a lot lately and I think I like maple fret boards better than ebony,
    it's a bit of a different feel to me under my fingers (the tone is not an issue here, but the feel while I'm playing). I've never been much of a rosewood fan, it's always been ebony or maple.
    anyway, I'd love to see some owner pics if anyone has one and some thoughts opinions on the guitar.
    If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?

      Man oh man!!!
      that white one is right up my alley (which IMO should be a 'standard" Soloist model).
      If this is our perdition, will you walk with me?

          If you'll look in the Limited Edition Guitars section, I've made several attempts to get this made as a limited run. But Jackson refers to this as a "woodworking change" for some strange reason. If they would make the SL2H "as is" but with a maple board, I would be all over it.

            I bought both of these used. The snakeskin was a run from Guitar Asylum....the white was ordered by a friend (well, he became a friend after I bought it from him).

                              As I was searching JCF for Maple Fretboard Red Snakeskin I ran another...only three that I have found thus far...but another Maple Board CS.
