Made an offer on this guitar the other evening on EBAY, and it was accepted.
listed as used, but still in the Jackson box with plastic coverings on everything and the trem arm, etc, still in sealed plastic.
Got it for $435
Jackson Soloist SLX DX in Manalishi Green
Neck through body with maple neck and poplar body.
Duncan Designed HB103 set and Floyd Rose Special.
Guessing the green is lower demand, because MSRP even on Jackson's site is 700 for the other colors and 550 for green, but I really dig the green.
I've been wanting a Floyd equipped guitar with good fret access, and I've always loved the soloist.
I'd rather have 22 frets, but the 24 isnt a deal breaker for me. Mainly going to use it for 80s-90s metal/thrash
Messed with it a little this evening. After adjusting the pickups they sound really good. Seem to have nice harmonics and good definition. Can't wait to spend some more time with them.
Setup is decent from the factory, a little high but not bad, and the trem doesn't sit perfectly level.
Fretwork is pretty dang good for an Indonesian guitar. I'm very pleased with the neck and the frets. As a predominant Les Paul player, it's odd to have that 22d fret so easily accessible lol
Haven't really had a chance to mess with the floyd much. Seemed to stay in tune with a few uses, but we'll see how it goes with that.
Overall it seems like a really solid guitar for the price.
I'll probably upgrade some things down the road, but for now I'm just gonna play it.
