Members mightyjoeyoungxnj Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 This guitar looks menacing as hell...The price is quite steep though, $1,849 from Guitar Asylum. Think it's worth it?? I could get an LTD MH-1000 for pretty much half, but I'm sure that's sacrificing some quality. Soooo, do the USA Jacksons live up warrant those prices?? -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xgxmanx Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I had a SWEET one just like that with EMGS... DannyM bought it... Great guitar for sure without a doubt.... I liked the Neck thru string thru Ibanez with EMGS I'm selling on the forum right now better and it was WAYYYY less... Because Mahogony just sounds the best with EMG's... Check out my spam thread... Very cool ibanez... Also Guitar Asslyum is WAY over priced... I can point you to 2 Jackson dealers the SMOKE the lame pricing those guys try and shove down people's throats... xgx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredhead666 Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 If you're not hell-bent on picking up a USA Jackson, the Japanese neck-thru models are pretty hard to beat too! I just bought a SL3 the other day for $650 (scratch and dent, I think it's about 1 G new), and it plays like a damn Hattori Hanzo sword. LOL! Seriously, they're great guitars.

Members mightyjoeyoungxnj Posted June 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm kind of set on getting a USA Jackson, or maybe a Japan ESP. I have the money to spend, and would like to invest in one real nice shred guitar. xgxmanx, what other Jackson dealers are you talkin about??? thanks. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TOStudent Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 It's apples and oranges.IMO even the Japanese ESP don't have the same quality as the USA Jackson stuff.Their stuff just seems more like less build quality when you see both. bindings, finish, feel.The MIJ ESP are very nice and I have owned ESP but it is just not the same.

Members mhenson42 Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 This guitar kicks ass. I got my mint SL2HT ebay a few weeks ago. I had the SL2H w/ EMGs before I owned this as well (Also sold to DannyM - there seems to be a trend here). Its kind of weird though, I hated the duncans in the SL2H but I'm going to keep them in the SL2HT because they sound great. Oh. Up until last Monday I owned the LTD MH-1000. There was no need to keep it after I got the SL2HT. It is well worth the extra $ over the LTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DannyM Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Here is the one that I bought from Giles:http://www.slaytanicguitarist.com/sl2ht2.html Here is the other one I had:http://www.slaytanicguitarist.com/SL2HT.html SL2HT's are great, great, great guitars.Tone, playability, sustain = awesome. Dont pay what Guitar Asylum is asking. They can be had for cheaper.Maybe he is showing you the MAP price ?Contact Matt at Matts Music (tell him DannyM sent ya).Matt will match/beat any price. http://www.mattsmusic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mightyjoeyoungxnj Posted June 23, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Thanks for all the replies and help guys. It was between the Caparison and Jackson...Caparison won. I'd like to have a Jackson some day as well, but I just fell in love with this Caparison, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks again. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Inearthed Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 I was going to offer ya my SL2HT Chlorine with the unfinished neck that was apart of a limited run! Oh well!
