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??

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Here is the one that I bought from Giles:

Here is the other one I had:

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/
