I'm pretty mad at the guitar market this year for many reasons but most of all for the lack of Super Strats with Tone Pros, Strings Through the Body models offered by both Jackson and ESP. That's the way I play, plus it adds more sustain, I don't like whammy bars, but even so the market should at least have more options of these. I tried to order the SL2HT but said it was a built to order 6 month process. Yeah right, I'm not gonna drop $2,000 bones on anything and wait 6 months, especially on my craft. I want to play now! ESP looks like they retired this year, unless your an eclipse fan (they're very nice). Their Horizon is cool but I prefer Alder bodies (I would still go with MAHG), and that dark brown sunburst has got to go, whatever happened to black or white if they wanna be basic? So I finally got some dollar bills and the market is dead dry for my credentials. I was even looking into a RR1T because it basically has all of my requirements and I've never been into any crazy body shapes, I think it's cool when hetfield and rhoads do it, but not me, But I was like hey let's try it, and even those could not be found. Why is there no, non tremolo super strats out there these days?

nice they had a couple sl2ht's also, that's the only place i've found out about after digging.
