i was at the local music shop today picking up some monitors and there was a used jackson v, and man have i wanted one forever. well i ended up buying it and its in great shape aside from a little chipping on the long fin and head, and when i pick up my carvin friday im dropping it off for a full setup/repair free of charge (the input jack is a lil scratchy too). well anyway i think i got a good deal on it but i really dont know much about the guitar itself so maybe someone here can help me.
the headstock says "Jackson Professional" inlayed into the finish.
white binding on the head and neck
reverse sharkfins
its neckthrough body with a red glittery finish and black trim (not sure if its binding or paint)
it has a black pickguard on it but it looks crooked. i looked at some new ones on the website and the guard follows the bottom fin to the point but mine is pulled back. i have no idea if the guitar has been repainte, ect. but i cant see any flaw where the correct screwhole should be. other than that it appears to be original, same 3 knobs and 3/way.{edit: i got around to takeing off the pickgaurd and it seems the active electronic thingys on the volume and 3/way are the reason it was set in at a slight angle. i didnt even know it had active pup's, are these emg's?}
they floyd is a jackson licensed with jackson stamped on one side and made in germany by shaller on the other. the pickups are solid black with the jackson logo in the corner.
the serial on the fretboard is j001301 but the sn# charts on the jackson website are only for customs and i dont think this is a custom is it?
im trying to get my friends digital camera right now so i can post some pics, i should have them up tonight. if anyone could help me find out any specs on this guitar or when/where it was made id really appriciate it. like i said i think i got a good deal but im afraid to say what i paid till i find out if its really worth anything.
