      Made in Japan in the early/mid `90s, which along with the more expensive XL version (sharkfins, bound fretboard) was the last import neck-thru Soloist until the SL-3 and SL-4 several years later. The body is either alder or poplar, the neck is maple, the fretboard is rosewood. Looks to me like a low-profile Jackson JT580LP trem. The pickups won't be anything amazing, but if they're similar to those used in other Japanese models at the time, they aren't bad...just sort of plain.

      In my opinion, the Std (Standard) imports are good platforms for upgrades. A Seymour Duncan Full Shred would sound good, which is what I put in my older Soloist Pro; tried a Duncan Custom and didn't care for it. Some people will tell you to upgrade the Jackson trem to a real Floyd, but I like the JT580LP personally. The neck is probably a little thinner than a current USA or Japanese Soloist.

      Good guitars, regarded as better than the current imports without the USA-spec features on the first Pro line.

        I'd say about 400 US

        Don't know about Finland though

          This guitar has the JT590 Schaller trem, excellent tremolo. The guitar looks very clean too, I'd say $400-450 US would be a good price, maybe even $500, considering all guitars in Europe seem to be more expensive.
