It’s an ivory dominion pro...they just changed around the models for 2020. It’s semihollow without f-holes. I wanted something I could use for jazz and country that felt like a Jackson. I was unsure about the unfinished neck but as it happens I think it’s killer ha.
There is a tummy cut.
The switches are coil splitters which I’m not really crazy about...probably will omit them from the circuit when I install the tv Jones pickups.

Re: Ngd
I actually wish Jackson had kept around their non-metal axe line, like the Sweetone Jazzr and the Surfcaster... But since they are gone, I guess this and maybe the Friedman/Monarch model is the next best thing for those wanting a Jackson tailored for a bit more mellow music. What's your opinion/experience regarding the build quality on this one?

Re: Ngd
I have a 1996 blonde Jackson Surfcaster
UPDATE: Over time, this has become one of my most viewed posts (along with the Tokai post) – seems like we guitarists are always on the lookout for gear info!...
And, first glance, thought this was one of those. Mine has a TVJones in the bridge, and it’s a match made in heaven!

I also was excited about this pro series model because it has the graphite rods in the neck for stability. I feel this subtly changes the tone of the guitar in a pleasing way.
When I managed music stores I found that quality of an instrument sometimes has more to do with the qc process than price tag. I will say that I spent more on this than I would have on a 335 style Ibanez artcore, but I am glad I did.

There is actually one for sale in a nearby city in red, with Kent Armstrong pups and a slight blemish on the body. I just couldn't convince myself yet to take it for around 600 USD - I don't think I ever played a single riff that would fit that kind of instrument. But it looks soooo *****in' that I keep going back to the ad... Maybe having something radically different would push me to work on some uncharted territories with my playing (not that there is a single territory that I have completely charted, but still... )?

The original pickups in mine were both Kent Armstrong (designed, I think) and the neck lipstick in this guitar has something going on that I’ve not been able to find in any other pickup - one of the many reasons I’d be unlikely to sell.
I wasn’t a fan of the bridge HB - nothing bad, just not inspirational - and I felt the aesthetic cried out for something Gretsch/Rickenbacker - the TV Jones just fit the bill all around (likes it so much that I’ve since put his Starwood pickups on my Strat and Tele).
For $600, I’d be really tempted to check out that one locally, it may well take you into different territory - very flexible.
