Somebody wants to trade me this for my Fender US Highway 1 Strat. Anybody know what it is? Worth it?

Thanks in advance,

I'll take a shot: a green Dinky Reverse?
Maybe a DR3 or DR5?

Some kind of Dinky Reverse. I've never seen a Jackson in that color green before, but it's pretty cool.
Not a DR3, as those had reverse sharkfin inlays and the three-way toggle switch instead of the blade.

PS4 neck on Dinky Reverse body? It looks like a PS4 except for no middle single coil. And didn't the original DRs have Professional on the headstock? Whatever it is, I think it looks cool, but is it worth a US Fender?

Well the pickups looka little close to me. (could be just thr slime green throwing me off)
Bu titlooks like a Fusion body with a Dinky Reverse neck. Which would make it a ***** to intonate since the scale lenghts are different.
I don;t recall any Performer series Fusions, or Fusions with a reverse headstock for that matter.
So VitG could be right thats it's a PS4 neck on
what could be a dinly reverse body. But this body does have the scallop at the treble side cutaway.

Fusion HH body with a Dinky neck [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] - not worth a USA Fender.

Serial Number is 1012851. Thanks for the help. Still haven't decided yet. What do you all figure this is worth?

Re: Anybody know what this is?

Toejam I know not all the guitars with the scalloped cutaway afr fusions. It was just a considerationa cuz nobody had brought it up yet.
I have seen stranger things. Like a 24 fret Ibanez RG neck on a bolt on LP copy body. (it just looked wrong nopt to mention it being an intonatin nightmare). A guy came in to work today with a S470QM body and a MM Axis neck on it. It just didnt play right not to mention was to narrow for the neck pocket so he shimmed it.
It would even intonate. A couple of the strings were flat and the saddle were all the way forward. Icky bad and a waiste of a good neck.
What is it worth? whatever your willing to pay for it. Street value on that would be about 250-350.00. The neck is Korean or at least the neck plate is. (seriel #'s that start with 10 on imports are Korean made)Also wider 12th fret dots is a good indicator too. The body is probably Japanese form an older Pro series dinky that busted its neck or something. But should still play pretty well.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Jeez, when will people learn that that scallop is not just on Fusions?!? [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] Every Dinky I've ever had has that scalloped cutaway.

Anyway, those PS-4 Performer necks are fine, as I've got one slapped on my Warrior MG body. The neck feels like all the Professional necks I've ever had.
