What kind of Jackson is this?

[jb]

At the local music store around here they had what looked like a soloist, except it had 22 frets, gold hardware, and a string thru bridge, and a beautiful sunburst finish.

I was gonna ask the owner about it but he was busy with other customers.

now that i think about it, it might have been a SLATQH, but im not sure. In pictures the body of the SLATQH looks a tad different from the soloists.

It might also be an SLS, but I think those had the 3x3 head only - mine's got a stopbar, but I don't know if they all had that.

Anyhoo, if the body looked just like a Soloist, it may have been an SL2GX (was the dealer GuitarXpress?). I thought the SLATQ's were differently shaped as well, but I haven't really paid that much attention to them.

The SLATQHs have 22 frets and a slightly longer body than standard soloists (which are 24 fret). I suspect that's what you saw.

SL2GXs have 24 frets.

Or it could be an early custom shop soloist with only one hum. Hard to say without more info.

Re: What kind of Jackson is this?

it was basically an SL2GX but with a different finish than the rootbear one and with only 22 frets. It had 2 SD humbuckers. Im going to go back there and take a look at it and see what it is. I suspect its some kind of limited edition or custom.
