New Member with a Jackson F3-V is it real???

[BrianJohnson]

I have a Jackson F3-V with SN NHJ1120069 stamped on bolt on plate. Do I really have a Jackson or do I have a joke? Any help would be awesome.
Thanks

Never heard of an F3-V. The serial is for made in India, 2011.

Yeah, Idk. Just what I was told. I put my drumming on the back burner and bought this Jackson so, I'm a bit lost when it comes to guitars. But, it looks like I do have a real Jackson made in India, 2011? Doesn't really tell me much. But, many thanks, now I have a starting point.

Post a picture to an online hosting service and link it here so we can help ID it. There's no Jackson F3-V that I'm aware of.

I'm assuming it's a Flying V like a King V or Rhoads?

One word of caution: anything held on with screws can be easily removed and put on pretty much anything else, so unless you bought something new, a serialized neck plate and logoed tuners share first place as the last thing to judge legitimacy by, with a logoed and serialized sticker on the back of the head being a close 2nd.

Can't determine the model with a serial. A pic would be helpful in ID'ing and determining if it's all original or a mutt. Pics need to loaded on a photo sharing site such as photobucket, then copy a link here.

Without a pic, a detailed description may work.

Body shape? Strat/V/Explorer/Rhoads(V with a short lower point)
# of frets/pups/knobs/switches?
Sharkfin or dot inlays?
Tremolo or string thru body?

I expect it's a JS series.
A wild stab in the dark would be a JS32 Rhoads.

edit: Newc may be closer...a JS32 King V.

That's exactly what it looks like. Pick-ups say jackson on them both. Knobs and pick-up switch is same, trem same, everything to a T.
