There's one of these at a local pawn shop, and I instantly fell in love. 
Blood Red Burgundy, tag says $189, and I could probably get it for $150.
Super thin, contoured body, Jackson Floyd, H/S/S, 22 frets...(oh well)
Beauuuuutiful guitar....and I want it.
Jackson Stealth EXP Professional

Does that have the super skinny neck on it? I had a Jackson Reverse Professional with one of those necks and I loved it. Just didn't care for those square neck heels, though.

21 frets? look again, mang! I have a PS 4, which is the successor to this axe and it rules. 24 frets, different jack location but everything else is the same.

Yeah, sorry, it's a 22 fret neck.
Sorry for that. 
But yeah, the neck is suuuuuper thin. Feels great.
I was going to get an iPod Touch, but I might get this instead. ;D

Well, I stand corrected again...
I went at lunch and took pics and it is indeed a "Professional".
Updated original post with pics of the actual guitar...
I hope it's still there on Friday...
It's also got a huge cutaway behind the neck, so that "squared heel" it not as much of a factor. ;D

Congratulations! Those necks are killer. I think those are the Jackson version of the original Ibanez Wizard.

The neck is great, super thin and wide.
Then neck tapers from the 12th fret (.78 thick) to the 1st fret (.67" thick).
The info I've gathered from the Jackson catalog archive:
These exact guitars were made from 1992-1995.
For 1996 and 1997, they were name "TH1" but were still in the "Stealth" series.
The body looked the same, but the TH1's were fitted with H/S/H instead of H/S/S
For 1998, I believe they morphed into PS2's.
It sounds and plays great!
Here's a link to the Jackson Catalog page.

After restringing and resetting the action, and spending some time breaking in the strings, I've concluded that this is my favorite instrument.
Absolutely fantastic feel and tone.

Gotta love a Jackson. Even their budget models FEEL nice. I tried a JS 20 or 30 in a London store a week back, one of their entry levels. Neck felt brilliant. A lot like my Jackson PS-2. The general quality of even cheap guitars is at an all time high.
