Any old timers remember a limited run of trans green string-thru soloists from around 2001? It was done by a sponsor - dealer who was active on this board then. It had gold hardware and a speed neck. I bought one from someone on this board and sold it pretty quickly. If it helps, the dealer was involved in several several limited runs. One being a DK 2 with maple fingeboard and black shark fins if my memory is right.

GuitarXpress. Lloyd did a few other runs (Road Hazard yellow RR and SL2H), plus those SL2HTs in chlorine and rootbeer.
There was another on-line only retailer who did some runs too, but I'm spacing on his name.Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get -
Boom, that's it!!! Anyone here still have pics of the soloists? I'd like to reminisce.Comment

I owned one, it was a beautiful instrument. SL2GX in Kermit Green. Which was really trans-green.
I think there were 20 or 25 each, Root Beer, Kermit Green and um... Chlorine. Root Beer is what killed the limiteds from happening again. Lloyd ordered too many and by the time Root Beer came out, the market for these had become saturated.
I found pics:

Yes, it's all coming back to me now. I got rid of that guitar too soon. I remember the whole rootbeer debacle now, too. I see that Lloyd now makes custom guitars.Comment

Weird... it wasn't showing my third image... so I added one here.
Anyway, yeah, they were neat guitars and weren't very expensive if I remember correctly. And those were much more hand crafted than Custom Select.Last edited by xenophobe; 11-16-2015, 06:06 PM.The 2nd Amendment: America's Original Homeland Defense.Comment

Damn, that's nicer than I remember. I shouldn't have sold it.Comment

That's an amazing guitar.Comment

They were neat, but that's when Jackson sold out and started putting Custom Shop logos on batch guitars. That was a good portion of their appeal, back then.The 2nd Amendment: America's Original Homeland Defense.Comment

Lloyd did some super cool runs. He was the go to guy not he JCF limited runs as well IIRC.. He had his own guitar company called "San Dimas". I owned one of those, not a bad guitar at all..John 3:16Comment
