I looked at it,
I picked it up,
looked it up online,
handed it back cross the counter,
Walked away,
Then looked it up online some more,
Then I walked back,
and the next thing I know . . .
I was walking out the door with it.
G.A.S.is a terrible affliction.
At least I got a great price on it.
By name it is a Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL2FM MAH Coffee Burst. Some of the specs: Mahogany body (bound), maple neck, neck through body construction, ebony fretboard, Floyd Rose 1000 Series Trem, Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups.

It is pristine, with not so much as a scratch on it. I haven't tended to like Duncan Distortions in the past. I had them in a Charvel So Cal, and I don't know if it was the alder body, the bolt on neck, or what, but I found them totally uninspiring. But in this Jackson they sound fantastic. Maybe the mids heavy mahogany body is balancing them out, making them warmer, softer, and less shrill and abrasive to my ears. They're staying in this guitar . . . though this does not discount the possibly that I'll slip an A2 magnet in them to approximate the RTM sound. I'm an incurable tweaker.
Overall the guitar gives the impression of a baby who is the product of Superstrat and a Les Paul making sweet love. It's got the bark, authority, classy good looks of it's LP daddy, and the thoroughbred lines and speed of it's mama. Okay, that probably sounded stupid, but you get my point.
