    Hello fellow Jackson fanatics! At least I'm one thats for sure. I have been playing off and on for the last 20 years (since I was 15, I am now 35) and refuse to play anything other than these guitars. My first guitar was a Fender stratocaster followed by a Charvel model 6 and then the Jackson soloist, Dinky rev. in stone, and a Stealth EX in black. I have had some junk in the past like Arbor and series 1 and a few Kramers with the baseball bat neck focus 2000, and 6000.
    I just got this new 2005 DX10D in
    transparent blue last x-mas and love the quality. I know the trem and dd pickups aren't that great but I really have no complaints except I am contemplating sticking an invader in the bridge.
    As soon as I got it I took off the strings, dropped the trem, took out the middle spring, stuck some 8's custom on and set the intonation. Then I played around with pickup height and fiddled with the tone, volume, and 3-way selector.

    I only have one question. I went back to the store and they had a few others there but none of them had quite the same finnish on them. Although they were trans blue the outer edges were darker and the middle was lighter in color. Mine has the same color all over no darker or lighter. Is this an older style finnish or something? The serial #9727338

          Yes, 2006 trans finishes are darker around the edges and lighter in the center.

          Nice guitar!

            Welcome buddy!!! Very nice guitar!!! I'm very tempted to get a DX10D in Amber burst... But this year, my 2 oldest sons get the budget for guitars... See my other thread.

            Rock on!

                I don't know if that finish is normal, but I picked up one just like it at GC marked down to $150, and had everyone in the store following me waiting for me to put it down. As soon as I did someone bought it. I have too many guitars as it is, but that will be the one that "got away" .

                      Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! I am completely impressed by the quality of this guitar and this site. Also, thanks for answering my question. I guess I got one of the last chrome hardware 05's from Japan with basswood body?

                        No, it should be alder w/ flame maple veneer.

                          Your right! It's alder. No wonder it sounds soo good. Basswood is the 06.
