real or not

[rocket9244]

I'm thinking of buying a used Jackson guitar for $150.00
I'm assuming its a dinky but the only identifying thing on it is the neck plate.
it reads 040 10004
it has one double humbucker and two single pickups, chrome, no name tuners,.two knobs and a 5 way switch.
it is deep blue in color....it looks like this one....
I looked on a couple sites and they dont list this number because they only list ones made in the USA umbers.
so, how do I go about looking to see if this guitar is real or not?
is there any real musicians/guitar experts that could meet me and let me know if its real?.
thanx for your time and any info.

It's real. You could pay someone to authenticate this indonesian POS for you, but either way, if you're willing to put an extra hundred or so and sometime you will find MUCH nicer made in japan jackson/charvels. If you want good money for value, check out the Charvel models 1 through 6. Mind you M5 and M6 will set you back more, you can find some nice bolt on 1-4 for under 400$. I payed about 300$ for my model 4 and it outplays a lot of way more expensive guitars.

It's an older JS-1
POS and yes, it's real.

I wouldn't pay $150 for that but I guess it depends on where you live. It doesn't even have a a double locking trem...

A couple corrections:

It's real. You could pay someone to authenticate this indonesian POS for you,

8 digit serial of this era was made in India (not "indonesia").

It's an older JS-1
POS and yes, it's real.

Rj, I believe HSS would make this a JS20, serial indicates 2004.

you still didn't prove it's worth 150$ lol

[RacerX]

Yeah, and you can't spell the word "paid"

You should at least check the dictionary first if you're gonna call someone out on spelling.

People fuss over this a lot, but it's still accepted. Only less common. Other examples? Color and colour.

Ron, do you stop people during conversations with you to correct their grammar and then tell them it's OK to finish their sentence/story?

I quoted Merriam-Webster, and you quote some hack dictionary and some college drop-out's pretentious website?

My rock beats your scissors bro. I miss getting into these retarded arguments with you guys.

I wouldn't play Cricket with that turd.

But yes, it appears real, not intangible, supernatural or metaphysical in any way.
