They need to do a Kelly that size but without the cutouts. I've been wanting Jackson to do that for suuuuch a long time.

The thing about the pricing...You don't ever have to pay that. A bunch of retailers just mark brand new guitars "used" and sell the $1900-2000 stuff for ~$1300. Now is a MIK guitar worth $1300? I dunno. 9/10 times unless the guitar is a super hot seller you can pick up a phone or message somebody on reverb and get a discount.
Higher prices are here to stay, like you suggest it might be worth just waiting and getting something used.

Impulse buy. But not really worth doing an NGD Thread. Got to acquire a Concept Series SL27. Top-notch quality. Stainless steel frets sold me on this one and the neon yellow pops!
It was hard to find one with a fretboard that didnt have brown streaks. This has uniformly black ebony and seller offered me a good price for it so I jumped on the deal. Neck profile seems to be thinner than my other Soloists. Probably a speed king v profile.
I have yet to get used to this version of Seymour Duncan Distortion. It has different poles than the regular SH TB6. It sounds like it made the Distortion a bit tighter and brighter. It also seem to add a bit more low mids in the mix. Not the Distortion sound I am used to.
Would probably get a neon yellow Invader down the line.
These Korean WMI Jacksons are well made. While the old Wildcard series SL27 had locking Gotoh tuners, DiMarzios, and an original Floyd, I think having stainless steel frets, black hardware, and Duncan pickups is the better deal. Floyd 1000 stays in tune great anyway.

Yeah, weird oversight to keep it white on this guitar.

I wonder if this will pave the way for a more ordinary SL27 with full MOP sharkfins and black pups?

Yep. I am still thinking of ways to Neon Yellow the logo. Probably a thin vinyl overlay instead of doing a new logo and repainting the headstock.
Something quickly reversible.

Anybody see any EVH SA-126s in the wild yet?
Nice score man! I had the wildcard SL27EX, and it has standard Jackson tuners, not locking gotohs.View attachment 142828
