So I have to modify my thoughts. I just received and am immediately returning my second Jackson SL2 Pro. Great neck, but on both there is crazy fret sprouting and cracking along the neck binding (over half of the frets). Not acceptable on a brand new guitar in my book. The neck PUP was also routed incorrectly and mounted at an angle on the newest one.
I still have zero issues with my DK2M and RRMG (aside from camo fret markers, but I put striping tape on the binding and fixed that). Both are great guitars, but as appealing as the SL2s are, both that I had in my hands were lemons.
Got a newer mexican DK2MQ and older DK2m, over all both are on par with good built quality and materials, the new 3-bolt neck joint seems to be solid and also feels great. One thing that is deffinitely better in Mexican DK2 - solid Korean OFR completely made of steel instead of old low end Takeuchi's JT-580LP on Japanese one. Also one downside to the new Dinky's - sharp fret ends, this problem seems to be consitent sofar but easily fixable and I believe Jackson's QC will fix it in the future.
