Since it seems like it's Natural SLATQH night, I thought I'd introduce my first SLATQH which just arrived Fedex today. (pics below) Funny, I never looked at the SLATQH's seriously before last month. I decided to start looking at a custom shop job, and I drew up the specs, got ready to send them in, when someone posted the specs on this site for a SLATQH. Uh, yeah, I was about to custom order a mahogany body and neck, 3/4 maple top (ok, admittedly, I wanted it flamed, trans black, not quilt), but then I felt dumb when I realized the guitar I wanted custom-made already existed in the regular line...except Jackson wasn't making it any more! Heck, they don't even have the specs on the website (no wonder I had no idea what it was). So, here it is brand new though it's been hanging around the music store for a year.
The good:
This baby plays like butter, Iwas set-up well, no buzz, the lowest action on all my Jacksons, even my custom shop Soloist. I scored, I thought.
And then the bad:
At first, I thought this was a chip. I was pissed, but then I noticed that it's actually just the finish. I bought this brand new from an authorized Jackson dealer for a fair price. No mention of the problem with the finish on the point. I'd say it's pretty hard to miss.
At this point, I'm going to ask for some cash back, before I take it to my repair shop. Any ideas what it takes ($$) to redo a small area of finish?
