Am lucky enough to have acquired a used proto from the last 30th anni soloist... it didnt have a COA nor a hangtag but does anyone here know or have any info on the proto 30th anni soloist being a Shannon built ?

Could be wrong, but isn't there a short 3-4 minute video on Youtube that Mike Shannon does talking about the 30th? -
There is yeah. He doesn't talk about proto or a 2 hum guitar though..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

There were two or three of these two hums built, each a different color. Don't recall them being characterized as prototypes, though?Comment

Maybe. Doh!Comment

Which prototype? Apparently, there were three. CMC Guitars had a black H/S/S proto with dot inlays back over the summer.
A yellow H/H just showed up recently on ebay.
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

I kinda stunned and quickly seized the chance to get that yellow (thou not my color liking) but i think it be sweet as hell and has a two hum, blade switch and two knob controls....
Am just very interested to know did shannon also built these prototype ?Comment

If there's no signature, then I guess the only way to find out would be to contact Jackson and ask them.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Just recieved it from my local DHL.... wow this piece is IMO a different animal from my standard USA soloist.
Like the same features of the 30th anniversary but only diff is it has a two hum, a 5 way selector and two knobs..
Its heavier in weight than my SL2H Mah.. and the tone is really amazing !! It has like very nice clear tone with abit scooped nice bites with chrips... very very different piece here and am sold on this...
No idea if jackson would reply to my enquires.. i got it used here from TMZ...no idea if i can source the first owner of this guitar here...Comment

That's amazing! First time I think I've seen that control layout.Comment

Looks great. Poplar body like the originals?I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Yeah its like the tone is brought up nearer to the volume... guess its the old school control layout..Originally posted by Number Of The Priest View Post
Really like the thicker neck profile from 1 fret to 24th... and the old school heel there with the non recessed floyd !Comment

Hopefully it is.. this guitar is damn heavy ! I guess it should also have a three piece center blank..Originally posted by toejam View PostComment
