Well, FINALLY got the SLSMG I won on ebay a couple of weeks ago. The shipping was slow, but the seller made up for it with the packaging. This was the best score I made in my life. The case was even the correct Jackson molded case !! The best $330 I ever spent.
On to the guitar itself :
This thing is light. Easily the lightest I own. It is suprisingly resonant unplugged and even with the EMG HZ's has great tone through an amp. The neck is super thin and fast. The neck carve is very comfortable and I had zero issues getting to the upper frets. For what it is, the hardware seems very stable, but I have a tone pros bridge, some Sperzels and some EMG 81/85's that are going in this bad boy momentarily.
I just can't put into words how much I instantly love this guitar. I have been drooling over them, but my broke ass just couldn't swing the $800-$900 these things were pulling new. I'm probably going to have to unload a couple of my other guitars and search out a SLSMG Flametop.
Summary : If you are into the speed neck profile and a string thru body, this is an excellent choice !! I have a hard time telling that this isn't a USA. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
