Does anyone know what type of wood was used in the construction of the SL2GX body?

Alder body, maple neck thru and a maple cap for the transparent colors.

Yep, the 12pc limited runs have the same woods as the standard USA Selects

Its more of a LTD run than a custom shop run, right?

kinda off topic, but what wood would give the brightest tone? people say Mahogony I think, but how well is Alder wood? Thats what I think im getting for a project guitar, so would like to know how well it is..

If you want bright, stay away from mahogany... that's a pretty warm sounding wood. Maple is pretty bright, so is swamp ash, alder is a little warmer. Here's some info on wood descriptions.

Bright would be ash, walnut and maple. There are other more exotic woods with alot of brightness but those are the three more common. Lacewood is similar to alder, so its more balanced. Mahogany and koa are warm woods.

Yes, the SL2GX was done for Guitarxpress in a run of just under 60 guitars... 20 in Kermit Green, 20 in Chlorine Blue, and there were supposed to be 20 in Root Beer, but I'm not sure all of those were completed.
