Hi all, 
I'm excited my account is finally validated...
I'm 22, senior in college, been playing for 7 years. My main axe has been my MIJ Jackson KVX10 since I bought it 5 years ago. (now w/ gibson 490R and 498t pups.) Favorite bands are King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, Cryptopsy, DragonForce, and some jazz. I am Chinese and I noticed there are a lot of hostility towards Chinese due to those infamous ebay auctions. Tho I don't blame you...
Now here comes the confession. I recently bought a Jackson Kelly Professional Pro neck thru on Ebay...........from Carrguitar. I checked his feedbacks and it seemed like he's reliable. I found this site while doing research after I had recieved the guitar. It didn't take long for me to realize that he's considered an absolute scum by the JCF. But there's no way I could've known...so please forgive me for dealing with an enemy.
Now I have became quite paranoid about the genueineality of my kelly after I found out Carrguitar's past. And upon closer inspection, I noticed that the ® symbol is missing on the headstock. After researching a bit on the internet (mainly jacksonguitar.org) I noticed several of Jacksons missing the ® on the headstock after the Jackson logo. My questions are that could these guitars be fake? if not, what caused the inconsistency? Do you ever notice the ® when you shop for guitars? and does your guitars all have the ® on the headstock?
Here are the specs of my Kelly pro in case you want to know:
On the head stock it says "Jackson Professional." On the truss rod, it says "Kelly Pro". MOP inlays in jackson logo and shark. bound neck and headstock. Neck thru. J90 bridge pickup (forgot the neck pickup). Jackson made in Germany trem. Serial no. J400945 indicated on the last fret. Total cost $735 from Carrguitar.
Lastly, I'm just really glad I could join and post! I waited for a week for my account validation. I will do my best to contribute to this board. But this place had already infected me with some MAJOR GAS! Cheers!!

First, if I can speak for all, there is not a measure of hostility towards China here on the forum. Any manufacturer or builder for that matter, that falsely represents a product, such as these Gibson copies etc. on eBay would be considered not well liked (Making Gibson Les Paul's with "Made In USA" on them is blatant). It doesn't matter what country the instrument comes from. The forum members here are from all over the globe.
