jackson sl2

what can you tell me about this guitar?i could buy it for 1120$,it's a good price?

Are the dots inlays? The SL2 had a blank ebony board and the SL2S had sharkfins, so the dots are either aftermarket inlays or stickers. Also, it looks to me like the JT580LP has been replaced with an OFR or similar, and the bridge pickup switched to a Duncan. That being the case, it is quite a different beast than stock. I have left everything stock on my SL2, and I quite like it. Poplar body, and a bit heavy, and a fairly beefy neck by Jackson standards. Not sure if you knew this already, but they also have black fretboard binding.

Nice guitar if you like the specs. Not as flashy as the current SL2H, but the construction is basically the same.

yes,the dot inlays are aftermarket and the original trem has been replaced with an original floyd rose.and the pickup is a seyomur duncan

Is that not a SL-3??

Anybody with that decor is not quite right in the head so I would advise caution. He has probably killed and could kill again.

Is that not a SL-3??

No, an SL-3 is made in Japan, and has a rosewood fretboard with MOTO sharkfins. An SL-2 has a blank ebony fretboard (this one had dots added) with black binding, and has the "Made in USA" logo as pictured. The SL-2 would have had Kent Armstrong pickups from the factory, versus Duncans on the SL-3.

hahahaha


OFR == good
Beefy neck == not so good
Boring dot inlays == *sigh*
(just my $0.02)

Beefy neck == not so good

Like I said, beefy by Jackson standards. It's no baseball bat. I got my SL2 in trade from another JCFer. I had a KV2 and wasn't digging the "speed" neck after years of playing the regular Jackson neck shape. The SL2 is much more to my liking, even though I have fairly small hands.

Bah, to me beefy neck just means more weight and probably not as good balance when standing. The finish (and shape) of the neck doesn't make much difference for me since only the "pad" of my thumb ever touches it when i'm playing.
