Interesting Jackson shape........

[Number Of The Priest]

Can anyone identify it? Looks a little unorthodox, and I don't think I've ever seen one with this body shape before.

I've never seen one either [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: Interesting Jackson shape........

Hmm, after looking at it for a little bit, I'm convinced that it's a hacked away Stealth. Why? Because it reminds me of a black Jackson Stealth where I could see the grain in the wood. That particular Stealth looked like it had black varnish over the wood, and this one looks like the one I saw. The only difference is that it looks like somebody shrunk the body on this one a little bit.

I'm with NOTP, except that the neck doesn't match with the stealth. The Trem bar is a little weird too. So it's a mutt. That's my guess.

Considering the establishment where it's being sold. I'm not surprised it's a mutt.

Make sure you know the guitar you are buying.

They are vintage freaks and have a certain amount of disdain for shred guitars. ( even though they sell them)

I know of at least one non-logo'd guitar in the store that has magically re-appeared WITH a logo. and it's not the guitar its sold as.

All that said, they sometimes sell nice axes for cheap cause they don't care.. sometimes.

Buyer beware tho.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">nah, not Cobalt Satin. Cobalt is a blue finish, which I reckon looks cooler than this black one. I think the finish on this guitar was called Graphite. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Yep, Graphite SDK2. That head is what they came with (first appearance, IIRC).

There was one of those at the Arlington guitar show. The price tag said $500, IIRC, but I don't know if it sold and what for. I'd snap it up at that price. You could do worse, in any case.

Re: Interesting Jackson shape........

They did some different body styles and finishes around that time. My USA DR2 is Cobalt Blue Satin over ash, which is what the SDK2 is also. I played a USA SDK1 that was Orange Satin, truly an abomination! The DR5 Pro also was available in Graphite Satin.

I dig that body shape and the 3+3 headstock, just for something different.

Re: Interesting Jackson shape........

OK, I wasn't sure about that graphic/finish. Now that you say it, I'll agree that it's graphite. Interesting enough for me, a guitar just like this was close to being my first Jackson. At Guitar Center, they had one of these and a Dinky Reverse (with a maple fretboard) hanging on the wall. I played them both and in the end the look of the Dinky Reverse won out.

The necks on those guitars can also be used to belt out a few homers at the ball field. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] And I heard they were therapy for Weight Watchers on account of their being so FAT! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
