What more can I say that hasn't already been said.....! This guitar is hands down "Beautiful"....! When I first saw it on zZounds site I knew I had to have it. The lines of the SL2H Soloist are INSANE.......!!! You should see this Bad Boy in the sun. The Transparent Blue looks amazing...! This guitar is extremely well built, the neck is ultra smooth, the weight is perfect, and it sounds incredible....! The one thing I wish Jackson would start doing is wrap the body with a binding like Les Paul and Shechter do, that would be the icing on the cake. You won't regret buying this guitar....!
