![]() I will often see where buyers go after the 24 fret models 'for two free frets!' and then complain the guitar doesn't sound like a Les Paul. The move to MII seemed to go quite cleanly. A few years back they started winding the bobbins to have less of a muddy tendency. Usually that was easily fixed by pickup height adjustments, new caps, or higher measured kohm volume pot. Sometimes there were complaints about SE pickups being muddy. The used market seems to discount the slash versions by a wide margin. Most all of them are quite well built (I have several SEs spanning from 18months to close to when they moved to the new factory). Then the MIK factory went to the moon dots and birds. I have one early 'slash' SE I bought used/abused that had a poorly factory-soldered switch (intermittent short caused by melting the insulation of the hot wire when they put the ground on the switch), prior owner kept soldering on the jack and mangling it and adding locktite thinking that was the problem but it was the switch (unmolested original solder on the switch). There were the old 'slash' fretboard inlay design when they started with the MIK factory. ![]()
