Say hi to my new project fellows. Well, its not really a project, but a damn nice USA JAckson with a few mods done by myself.
2001 SL2H SnakeSkin
Swapped out the Duncans and put in a Tone Zone in the bridge, and a Dimarzio Paf in the neck. The Tone Knob has been defeated and now has a Coil tap In/Out so I can split both pups. Sounds GREAT!
Put on Original Dimarzio Clip-loks, a no brainer.
Other then that, I got it from a fellow off the "Gear Forum", he gave me a great price on a mint guitar. the only MINOR issue is there is a small hairline crack in the ebony at the bottom two frets. The camera could not pick it up, and im not worried about it as it's small, and obviously just a small surface blemish.
I took all the hardware off and polished it up, and Lemon Oiled the fretboard. I strung it up with a set of Ernie Ball custom strings (52-10)
Right out of the case the action has been superb. Im not sure if the previous owner took care in oiling the fretboard, because I notice a few frets are sharp on the right end, possibly from raising?!? Minor issue as im taking it to a tech so that everything is perfect and seated right, just to be sure.
Theres one more addition on the way, im gonna put on black pearloid knobs for a "cooler" look, I think it will fit the theme pretty nicely. Anyhow, thats it for now, I'll be posting samples on the MP3 page in a few days!
Now, obviously it's a keeper, but I got it with the intention of down the road swapping for a trans green SL2H, or SL2HT. I may change my mind, as I really love the graphic, but I have ALWAYS wanted a trans green!
Here's some pictures that my friend let me put on his page...
