Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 bridge and Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2N neck pickups deliver tonal clout. Luminlay® glow-in the-dark side dots provide exceptional fretboard guidance even on the darkest of stages. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, the 12”-16” compound radius bound ebony fingerboard is designed for highly technical lightspeed playing-more curved by the nut for comfortable chording, it flattens out up the neck for increasingly fast playing and bends without fretting out. The SL2 offers an alder body and a through-body three-piece maple neck with a pair of graphite-reinforcement rods for the ultimate stiffness and stability to guard against temperature- and humidity-induced bending and warping. The MJ Series blends Jackson’s world-renowned legacy of designing high-performance instruments with an assortment of top-tier features at a competitive price point.Įngineered from its inception for high-speed, virtuoso playing, the MJ Series Soloist™ SL2 is injected with versatile sound, ultra-modern style and Jackson’s famed playability. You might be able to find these more readily, and in packs of 12, rather than the Gotoh packs of 4.Harkening back to the early ‘90s when import Jackson® guitars were manufactured exclusively in Japan, we introduce the all-new Jackson MJ Series - an exciting and innovative collection of instruments attentively crafted in Japan. I've used generic "locking bridge saddle shims" on OFR and GE1996t, they fit fine. A total of 8 shims should safely cover the most you'd need.Īlso, I don't think it's important to use the Gotoh branded shims. It's possible you'd want to use 3 shims on each of the E strings since you've got the 430mm neck. I haven't measured the resulting string radius, but it feels great and I think this is a very close match to 400mm. Having said that, when I later had the guitar apart for some other work one day, I went ahead and added two shims (.2 mm each) on the E strings along with one shim on the A and B strings because I always have a pile of shims around. You might consider trying it out and seeing whether it feels/plays alright as is. It played fine, there was no real need for any shims to bring the 350mm closer to 400mm. I've got this bridge on a guitar with a 400mm neck, and I didn't bother shimming for months after putting it together. It might seem a big difference on paper, but the radius is already pretty flat once you reach 300mm or more (which is about 12"). The GE1996T is radiused at 350mm, so there's not that much difference between that and the 430mm you're trying to match.
