Overall Rating: Playing 15 years. Like everyone else that has played for any length of time...I've tried a lot of guitars out. Bought/sold a few too.

Own or owned: Charvel, Ibanez, Hamer, Fender, Washburn, Jackson, Warmoth, Carvin, Dean...and a no name P.O.S. tele copy.
It won't be stolen or lost...what a horrible thing to even suggest Mr. Guitar Rating Web Page Template Guy! I think I'd come after you seeing as how you just cursed me and all.

Yeah it compares to other guitars...I saved for a whole summer to get a Charvel model 6 as a young teenager...now I have the vastly superior version of that guitar!
I really just like the whole package of the guitar. Neck, materials used, tone, playability, looks...it's a quality product.
Features: 2007 USA Jackson SL2H MAH Soloist with a clear coat (natural finish). It has a orig. floyd, it and all other knobs, pickup rings, switches are chrome. Bought it off ebay in drop dead mint condition...the user installed EMG 81/85 humbuckers.
Heavy duty 3 way switch with a single tone and a single volume.
The neck is fast and thinner than a tyical "c" Fender shape...but thicker than a Ibanez Wizard shape. 24 frests (jumbo) and mop inlays on an ebony board.
1/8" flamed maple top over a mahogany body and neck. REALLY a nice flame maple that was matched very well.
Sound Quality: I like rock. From the late 60's to today. A good amount of metal too. This is a fantastic guitar for rock/metal/anything. I've seen them used by jazz cats too. Your amp is coloring your sound a lot more than the guitar anyways...speaking of which...
This guitar sounds HUGE through my Marshall. (TSL 60 head w/1936 cab) Harmonics sing, really rich tone when used with distortion...also sounds great cleaned up. Not noisy at all...overall just a great guitar really.
Reliability/Durability: Well I have only had this guitar a day now...but it's rock solid being a neck-through and all.
Came with Dunlop straplocks...I put these on all my guitars...and you should too. (They are really easy to swap straps, take off/put on, etc...and your guitar is a wee bit "safer")
Purchased From: minty off ebay...got an absolute STEAL! Half price on a mint 2007 Soloist...Noice!
