I'd prefer the LTD. The SL3 is cool, but Jackson die cast tuners suck...badly. I think you would be getting a better deal with the MH1000, because its got EMGs, and better tuners (grover). Other than that, they both are cool.

I know, but why replace them if your paying $1200 for a guitar. i'd want it to have averything I want for that much. The LTD has good tuners, and its less money.

I would skip the SL3 and get a used USA soloist instead, much, much better guitars for the money.

Though it's getting harder to find decent used usa SL1 or SL2 soloists in the $1000 price range.

Another thought is early '90s Jackson Professional Soloist XL.

One thing to check on the Jacksons is where they have the volume knob. On my USA Soloists it's right under where I like my trem bar, and I hit it on the way down.
