The Jackson SL2H is the hardtail version of the famous SL2 that Jackson has offered for years upon years. It was constructed in the 80s to serve those who wanted the utmost performance out of their guitars. This guitar features a strat style alder body, maple neck, ebony fretboard with sharkfin inlays, hard tail bridge, HH configuration, a volume knob, a tone knob and a 3 way switch.
UTILIZATION
The hard tail bridge on this is what most people are looking at, and it's a very nice bridge that sounds great. These guitars tend to resonate a bit more than their floyded variants. The neck-thru design that Jackson used on this guitar is wonderful. There are absolutely no issues at all with getting to the higher frets. Those of you who had issues with the Dinky DK1 will probably be looking into either this or the SL1. The really cool thing about this is that it has a compound radius. That means that chording on the lower register is much easier to do, and big bends on the higher register won't fret out like they would on a normal radius. The fretwork on this guitar is usually really good, too.
SOUNDS
This guitar isn't quite as versatile as the original SL1, but it's still a great guitar. The JB in the bridge gives it this awesome sound that works for nearly any style of music you throw at it. Most people associate it with rock, but it can do metal and even jazz fusion without much of a problem. The '59 in the neck is my "go to" Duncan pickup, and it is absolutely wonderful. It has a nice bite to it, but it also has some warmth to where it handles fat lead lines with ease.
OVERALL OPINION
The SL2HT is for people who are looking for a performance hard tail guitar, and this Jackson delivers. The fretwork is great, the tone is very nice, it's fairly versatile and just feels nice. I'm actually more of a floyd guy, but these guitars seem to resonate a bit more than the floyd equipped versions.
