    And then price them so they don't sell, just like the SL2H-MAH

      Newc, SL2H-MAHs do sell. You seem to miss the point of a limited edition model, and how/why they sell less units. i.e., Add some exclusive features. In this case, mahogany bodies and necks. Add an exclusive feature premium ($$$). Then sell in lower volumes. Higher profit per unit justifies the lower volume sold.

        Yes a KV2T in 25.5 would be nice.

          Ya and one that's actually a KV2T, because what they are calling a KV2T now is really something very different from a KV2.

            A KV2T would be very cool, especially if it was just like the KV2, but w/ string thru. Like the RR5, and RR5FR.

              RD, I can sympathize with your dilemma live. We use 3 tunings in my 80's cover band: Eb, Eb with drop D for two songs, and tuned down to D. I usually take a minimum of 4 guitars to cover these tunings and have a spare for Eb which is the majority of our songs. Gives me an excuse to play lots of Jacksons each gig And while I'm all for buying more Jacksons, one way around your problem is to simply buy a Fractal Audio Axe-Fx. It has high quality effects and one of them is a very nice pitch shifter which allows you to drop your tuning, or raise it, by about 5 steps in either direction by simply pushing a button on your foot controller to switch to that patch! You can play your same Floyded guitar for several tunings with this thing That is of course unless you're not talking about straight tunings but rather alternate tunings then you simply need more Jacksons!

                we use..

                EADGBE 1 song live

                DADGBE 2 songs live

                DGCFAD 2 songs live

                CGCFAD 8 songs live

                and now C F Bb Ee G C 1 song live

                I only want to use 2 tunings live but if we play the drop c stuff first, tune up to d play those, switch guitars and play the drop d stuff then tune up to e... then switch guitars and play the straight c song... we only have to switch 3 times in a 45 minute set :ROTF:

                it's retarded I know but I think that's what's gonna wind up happening. We may axe the c standard song for live so we only have to switch twice but then i don't get to use any floyded guitars!

                my silver kv2 is my main axe so i'll only get to use it on the drop c stuff...

                  Other than occassionally dropping my low E to D or using the D-Tuna on a Floyded guitar, I try to avoid tuning the guitars up or down during the same show myself. Often they have a tendency to want to return to the original tuning so it sounds out of tune. If I leave my Jacksons in their current tuning, some are so stable that they even stay in tune for the next gig!
                  Perhaps you need to talk Jackson into building you a custom shop incorporating a custom VG system with all your tunings like they do on the VG Strat

                      Absolutely agree. I see more and more people disliking trems. Tuning options, sustain, string changes, etc. All good reasons to go string-through. Hell, I'm still looking for an SL2-HT in trans something and am having a hard time finding one.

                        I think having the "T" option for every model would be great. I'd hit a WR1T for sure. And yeah, its gotta have the string plate .
                        I'm not afraid to bleed, but I won't do it for you.

                            Doesn't everyone.

                            and yes, I would order a Ferrari red KE2T in about 10 seconds if they released that model.
