Help with nomenclature...?

[singlehum]

I guess I haven't been paying attention since Jacksons were called Soloists, Randy Rhoads, etc,. DXMGT? SLATQH?
Can someone explain the nomenclature now being used?

Re: Help with nomenclature...?

SL = Soloist
SLS = Soloist Superlight
RR = Rhoads
KV = King V
KE = Kelly
DK = Dinky
DR = Dinky Reverse
xMG = EMG HZs
xxFF = Flame Fretboard
JS = Junior Series (?)

with the numbers denoting it´s "position" in the line, generally in ascending order

SLATQH - SoLoist ArchTop Quilted Top with Humbuckers (as opposed to P90s?)

SLATQM = Same as above, but with a Mahogany body.

Sometimes the "T" in a model's name denotes Tremelo, sometimes it denotes Tune-O-Matic.

Correction Doc! The M stands for mini humbuckers. The SLATQH has a mohogany body as well as the SLATQM.

I believe that the only difference between the SLATQM and the SLATQH is that the SLATQM has mini hums, abalone pihrana inlays, abalone topped knobs and an abalone logo. Otherwise they are have the same specs. (AFAIK)

The SLAT90 is the same as the SLATQM, but with P90's

Actually I thought the Piranha inlays were present on the earlier models, and the full sharks came on the later ones?

No full sharks were on all the early SLATQH, they were Piranha on the SLATQM and the p90 model.
