Identifying a Jackson Guitar

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Hey guys, how are you!?!!?

I need a little help identifying this Jackson Guitar

ANd here together with my MIJ Jackson DKMGFF

I want to trade or sell my jackson to get this other jackson simply because the neck feels slimer than mine, it has no archtop, the bride is positioned more backwards than mine, the body contour is better, and theres no ****ing flames on the fretboard.

But first i need to see if its not an asian one. it has to be japanese and i dont even know the name of the model. the guy thats selling bought it used, but its brand new, in CANADA.

Q: )
SO all help will be appreciated
thank you very much in advance
JP

Re: Identifying a Jackson Guitar

It's really hard to say dude. It's got the standard JT-580 instead of the low profile version, which makes me think it could be an earlier model. I was thinking it could be an XLR neck, which were thinner than the standard Pro necks, but they all had "professional" on them. I don't know man, hopefully someone who knows more than me can comment. This much I do know, everything with "professional" on the headstock is MIJ.

That's a Dinky Reverse btw.

Re: Identifying a Jackson Guitar

The Floyd Rose looks a cheap Chinese made, instead of German-made Schaller found in early 90s Professional series. I think this particular Dinky Reverse is more recent like from 2000s. It is possible that it is made here, which not very impressive quality-wise. I knew a guy had to take his new Jackson guitar to a luthier cause of fretbuzz. And the frets were indeed unevenly laid out as measured by the luthier using a straightedge. Beware.

DXMG? The EMG-HZs would point there if they're not aftermarket.

Completely wrong on every count, I`m starting to understand why half the forum has you ignored. If you have absolutely no idea what you´re talking about, don´t talk, listen.

1. The trem is a JT-580, which was ALWAYS made by Takeuchi in Japan, just like the identical Ibanez TRS series.

2. The instrument is MIJ, early to mid ´90s. I want to say DR-5 because that´s the closest thing I personally remember in spec, but they had the later JT-580 LP trem and were post 1995 so that can´t be right... The only professionals that had Schaller trems were MIJ + MIA "Pros" and some XLs, the only other guitars that had schallers were Customs, which were alle MIA. The line however started at "ex", then went to "standard", sometimes had an additional step, then came "XL", then "Pro", then "Custom".

I´m thinkin Dinky Reverse Standard or something along those lines. But it´s definitely pre-2000, likely pre 1995, definitely MIJ.

DXMG? The EMG-HZs would point there if they're not aftermarket.

I was thinking that too for a few seconds, but no scalloped horns, and no JT-580, both characteristics of the dkmg that are absent..... I´m thinking the EMGs quite possibly could be aftermarket.....

FYI this was the 'budget' DKMG, which had active EMGs and some kind of EMG clean-boost built in. The DXMG had passive EMGs and no such boosts. Definitely MIJ.

My dkmgff(the one with the flames) is said to be JAPANESE MADE. and i indeed took some pics of the neck pocket and neck itself and i think theres somethign written there that proves it. plus scalloped horns etc.
ill be definitelly selling this dkmgff to get that Unnamed MIJ One. thanks guys for the UNholy Input.
i feel much more confortable with this new unlabelled model jackson than with the one i recently bought (dkmgff)

I think you nailed it, I forgot about the low end againand just realized I read DXMG as DKMG in your previous post, you were right from the get go. :laugh2:

Although I just noticed, in teh link you posted the DXMG is pictured with the 580, but interestingly enough the specs say 580LP teh way I remembered..... somewhat curious....

Re: Identifying a Jackson Guitar

i still have no clue about it, but... i sold my jackson with flames inlay and bought this one. the feel and confort is way better. and the Emg HZs ARENT Bad at all. the hneck lacks a bit of middle but its a very nice default sound. clean, clear and articulated.
ill get my emg 81-60 back from my ex jackson as soon as the friend i sold it to record their bands new album, this way , ill get my name on it and a free copy. HAHAHAAHHAAH Maybe a GUEST SOLO? Q: p
