Prices on these aren't really consistent... at one point they were getting $1300-$1400, now you see them for anywhere between $900-$1100.

I always thought that the shannon soloists were really high in price since they are kinda rare...

I would gladly post a pic if I had any idea how to do that ! I will try, its a killer guitar !!! while this may sound stupid does anyone know if because of the angled neck you would adjust the truss rod any differenly ? I use a bunch of Andersons and mainly follow the anderson guidelines for set ups.

Great tone and these particualr Jacksons really have that 80's vibe I dig

No...there should be no difference in adjusting the truss rod. Remove the cover at the headstock and then adjust it with appropriate wrench (looking at the rod end at the headstock down to the body, adjust it counter-clock wise for more relief (bow), or clockwise for more tension (straighten it out).
Just make sure the guitar is tuned to pitch when adjusting and I only adjust a max of 1/4 turn and then let it sit for a while before I come back, tune it back up, check it, and make more tweaks if necessary.
