In the realm of Jackson...my SL1 and HT7.
By the serial number this SL1 was produced mid 1997.
By this point they'd gone back to the original Floyd rather than the Jackson branded one. Duncan JB.
I never knew that wrench holder was a factory item, I bought this used and always figured someone had added that.
I paid the princely sum of $599 for this in '98. From a music shop. The guitar was less than a year old, in mint shape at the time...they had a book they looked up prices in, I don't know if they just looked it up wrong, but that still seems way cheap to me and I can't imagine what they gave the guy who traded it in. They gave me $200 for my trade in which was a Jackson PS4, which I think was around $400 new back then.
That would be my main guitar for gigging, recording, everything pretty much from '98 thru 2015. I started playing in a project that needed a 7-string around then and that's been my primary gig since, and now I just use the 7 for everything.
For some reason for those 17 years the volume knob position on the SL1 never bothered me. Now it feels like it's right in the way of where my hand wants to be.
Contrast to the HT7, this is one of the USA models when the Juggernaut series first came out, it's not the Misha signature model but basically the same minus the cosmetic features. Hipshot stuff everywhere, BKP Juggernaut pickups, 26.5" scale. Note the volume knob position compared to the bridge/pickup and how it's down and over a little compared to the SL1, this makes all the difference in the world to me now.
Don't have a picture handy of it on its own at the moment.
I've since gone to Hipshot and Graphtech stuff on pretty much everything else I own that sees regular use (fixed bridge anyway). Just nice solid hardware.
Had to give 'Me Wise Magic' a listen while reading through this thread, as a reminder of the trans-trem...cool stuff in here
