Got my first Jackson

[pro-fusion]

That sounds like an SL2, rather than an SL2H. If so, then it would have a Jackson JT-580 bridge, rather than the original Floyd Rose that most USA Jacksons come with. Probably the weakest point of the SL2.

Re: Got my first Jackson

Is the bridge good or should I replace it with an OFR?

Re: Got my first Jackson

The 580's are not bad tremelos in all actuality. I prefer the OFR myself but the 580 is certainly servicable.

Re: Got my first Jackson

I have the DR2 and RR2 from the same time period, both having the blank ebony fretboards and 580LP trem. I've had no trouble at all with either guitar, and that's definitely one of the better licensed trems I've played.

Got my first Jackson

I just bought a sl-2h off ebay and I'm really excited. My main playing guitars up to now has been Ibanez Jems, but I wanted a Jackson for a long time, and this guitar was too good to pass up.

It is listed as a custom sl-2h with a metallic charcoal finish, Dimarzio SD and Duncan Al2, ebony board w/no inlays and ebony binding. The bridge is a Jackson/Floyd License bridge. According to the sn, it should be a 1996.

Can someone give me some info on what bridge is on the guitar and how it compares with either a Schaller FR or Lo-Pro Edge? I would think that Jackson would use OFR on their US guitars.

Thanx for the info,
Peter

Re: Got my first Jackson

SL-2H Custom?

Still, a cool USA Soloist for less than 7

Re: Got my first Jackson

Is it a good deal? Can anyone tell me anything more about the guitar other than what is listed on the auction?

Thanx,
