    Nice thread bump diablomozart

    Wow, I haven't heard of about half of these models and would happily own any of them. Except the 1-hum DK2M which was haunted by crooked neck pockets. https://www.jcfonline.com/threads/15...d-Ghost-Flames

    That purple quilt DKDMQ might be the only late-Japanese Dinky with a 1000 Series Floyd that I've ever seen. I didn't know that combination existed. Towards the end of Japanese production, Jackson only put 1000 Series Floyds on very few, higher end, neckthru Rhoads and Soloists, so it strikes me as peculiar and interesting that a guitar that is essentially a DXMG received that upgraded trem. That's a beautiful guitar though... love the regal combination of purple and gold

Unstamped neck plate, no logo on the non routed Floyd Rose licensed tremolo, neck pocket stamped JD95 or JDR95

      That Dinky Reverse is definitely a Musician's Friend exclusive from the late '90s (around '96 or '97 if I recall correctly). I had one of those bodies. There were two models, only in black, one with the sharfkins and one with dots, weird Ibanez-type control layout.
      I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

        There was also a KE3 blue flame top with reverse head stock and satin silver hardware not chrome with sharkies that was an MF exclusive. Not sure if it came in any other finishes but I had the blue one. If I find pictures of mine (I no longer have it) ill add them.

          I bought one of these cheap, made in India Jacksons right out of the MF catalog. It was my first Jackson and entry into the Charvel/Jackson world. All I could afford at the time because I was sinking every penny into a 69' Camaro. Yes, they came original in black. Before I ever played live with it, I upgraded the electronics to the EMG KH kit. Also bought a brand new Jackson hardshell case for it. It was a buzz saw and screamed metal. I sold it to my drummer and he still has it.

            I knew that green "JD-R Pro" looked familiar.



            Pics in that thread don't work, but there are links to two other threads with photos that still do work. Toejam even said the same thing in that thread as he did just above, regarding the Ibanez-style control layout.

                In 1997, GC had a limited run of USA built "PC2". I use quotes because Jackson didn't give them the designation, GC did.
                They had a CS logo in place of Phil's signature.
                Which is odd because they had production serial numbers, not 4 digit CS serials.

                They came in Natural, Amber, and Trans Red.
                They're basically a USA built PC3 with real Duncans.

                  I agree totally, except I would prefer a regular headstock. Not really into reverese.

                    Man this is really old thread. BTW the Lacewood and the green sparkle were mine!!! I regret selling the Lacewood...all it needed were better pickups. I wish I can remember what I got in trade for the JDR.

                      Wow, good to see people are still interested in the thread. Since my first post I've been collecting most of these. I managed to find 2 of the purple DKDM-Q, 2 of the GC37-BC black cherry archtops, the DK2m RGF, and a lacewood, Sold one GC37bc and the lacewood which had issues. Also found a silver burst DXMG which I think was from MF and a DK2LE. I know it's not GC/MF but still cool. Still looking for the Green Ghost Flames SL2h If anyone knows where there is one.

                        I've referred several people on Facebook to this thread specifically to look at gerryl98's green JD-R Pro guitar because they owned one and were unable to identify it. Very useful thread! Thanks for starting it!

                          Is anyone familiar with the early 2000's MF exclusive JD-R with sharkfin inlays and recessed lisc Floyd Rose? Does the JD-R pro have professional on the HS? It's a rad metallic blue dinky with the HSS Duncan design pups, but I can't find anything online about it.
