The most funny thing about the announcement is the "aggressive body style" statement...Gee, did they ever see a BC Rich or Neal Moser guitar?!

 

[Tachy]

This is my bitch...

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Ha, did you try the 85 in the bridge and 81 in the neck position ?

 

[Tachy]

No I don't try it, the 81 is a little thin but I think that is good foe me becouse I play a lot of legats stuff..the 85 in the bridge have more fat sounds?

 

[SickBoy]

This is my bitch...

I'll get myself a nice Soloist...one day...

 

[Tachy]

O...soloist is very nice guitar, all Jackson usa selected series are very nice guitars!!

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Yeah, 85 in bridge is "fatter" (if that's the opposite of "thinner")
I found it too fat in the neck, and the 81 too thin in the bridge... So switching them is kind of an evident choice for me (and others on this forum).

 

[Tachy]

But the 85 have minor otput and gain compared by the 81?

Although the EMG-85 has more measurable output than the 81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Even if it had minor output and gain, it's not a problem, cause your amp has more than enough and putting a Tube Screamer in front is even better =)

 

[Tachy]

Ok, I don't need a tube screamer becouse my amp have all the gain and the tightness I need....When I'll change the strings I try to put 85 in the bridge!
Thanks Brett for infos!

I know, it's only that SL3 is not USA Select Series....
Half the price of USA Select guitar, but still neck-thru and with SD pickups, seems very nice specs-wise...

Sl3 is Japanese, it's not like the rest of the jackson line that is from korea.
Anyway SL3 is not a lightweight, it weighs a lot compared to SL1.
Same woods/pickup and I can say it has the typical usa selected quality.
Anyway SL1 is better, but SL3 really really rocks!
My guitarrist had one, sold it for a USA selected , the bastard has got: SL1 & RR1, awesome guitars. He got money so it can buy this hi-end stuff.
