Student-Jackson SL2H the 1999 US model! Super rare! View not found!
Same design as the others except that there, the ebony fingerboard and benchmarks "shark teeth" are replaced by a touch points Rosewood and pearly.
-The neck has 21 frets, the pickups are Seymour Duncan SH1 in the neck and TB4 at the bridge.
-The bridge is an original chrome Floyd.
-2 Knobs, one for volume and one for tone.
- Channel crossing.

UTILIZATION

-The handle is a pure wonder! I tested a lot of scratches since I started in 1993 and I must admit that Jackson is the best for me.
-The access to the latest cargo is no problem, it's all good!
Level-ergonomics no complaints either, it really takes his foot to play with! Especially since the scraper is super well balanced! I love the shape of the head!
-Electronics is excellent, not a sound comes unsightly spoil the party, it's all good.

SOUNDS

Zik level I'm pretty plugged Rock, blues, jazz, metal Speed ​​metal show.
The sound is excellent for all these styles I find, though the blues and jazz I prefer a Start or a Telecaster.
But for the metal and Rock on Reach nirvana really is simply the supreme Panard! Personally I tried for the first time a Jackson SL1 years ago, I played at the beginning or in fact and I must admit I had no other scratches only left an indelible as his level! Quite simply, since that day I always dreamed of owning a US Jackson! I still preferred the SL1 SL2h because I find the sound larger and richer tone fantastic!
Attention on the other hand! Do not be fooled. If Jackson US are formidable, the Japanese models do not sound as good, but then not at all!

The clean sound is very good is well defined but not "slamming". Finally I will not dwell on this because I have tried it on my Marshall VS100 so I'm not really objective.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and I am satisfied. The violin is really excellent, the tuning never moves even heavy use of vibrato.
It really is an excellent material.
The only thing that would have been nice standard would have been able to double the spliter single coils a little to increase the range of sounds but hey, it is always possible to do so am even changing the knobs and rewire the pickups.

If I had to redo the choice is clear that I use exactly the same! It really is the best in everything I have tried before!
If you like rock music and its derivatives, you should definitely try one, I know it's hard to find a store where they have and especially where they will allow you to try this type of scratching, but frankly, worth the trip !
For me the best instrument in its class. Much better than ESP same price for example!
