I should be getting an SL2H in a few months so I was wondering of people's experiences with this guitar. How are the neck, pickups, etc. Any details are appreciated (even if they are just pointless ramblings 
)
Thanks!

Of all the modern era Jackson USA Production guitars, the SL series is my favorite in terms of playability, tone, and looks. Neck is like sex, pickups are good, and you can play around with others like EMG's with good results too. Fit and finish has been superb, and I've owned about 10 all together. This is my number 1 at the moment:
"Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
Gotta get away from here.
Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear..." -
Just bought this brand new. I love the thing. Never goes out of tune, action like butter and it is my only USA without a Floyd. Pickups are good but, I think that everyone has a preference. I really don't have any complaints at all about this instrument.Insert annoying equipment list here....Comment

They come great as is....No need for any changes........For me this is the best of the crop!Comment

I have a SL1, it is the fastest neck I have, very easy but not too thin like those Ibanez. I put an Evolution in bridge and a ProTrack in neck. I have a Floyd but it never goes out of tune. It is my first Jackson but I'm very happy with it.Comment

I have a Yellow Bengal SL1. You just can't go wrong with the Soloist as it has already been said. The stock pickups are just fine IMHO!
Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.Comment

Crappy pic, killer guitar:
The fit and finish are excellent on mine. I use the stock pickups (JB and '59), and I'm happy with the tone. I hear-tell that if you want to beef up the sound a little, the Duncan Distortion works well.Comment

Probably the best allround Jackson there is (if you are uncomfortable with pointys) Traditional shape but still a very exciting guitar
The guitar and case is also alot smaller than KE/KV/RR etc... so it's definitely easier to bring somewhere.
Man do i want one baaaad.Comment

You're probably not going to get many negative comments about Soloists on a Jackson message board.
That said, the Soloist is the best overall guitar in the world. In my experience it does shred, death metal chug, and fusion as good or better than anything else out there. And they have such a big fat sound that doing blues, straight-ahead jazz, or even country would certainly be no problem--though you might get some funny looks.Comment
