Jackson Dinky Exotic TS

[Mr Metal]

Very beautiful guitar, but a little bit too expensive at least for here in America! Hope that sticker does not leave a residue!

Why don't you buy from an American dealer and have it shipped? You will have to pay a bit for VAT, but you will pay a LOT less for a new Jackson here.

Well ive already think that but, if i buy a guitar from a USA Dealer lets say at a price of 1800 USD, when it comes to portugal i have to pay at least 10% of taxes, ok thats 1980 USD. Then i have to pay 21% of VAT referent to the guitar plus the transport (wich i dont know how mutch it is). I think at the end i will pay about 2400 USD ....

Yeah, but it won't be 7+ years old with an ugly fretboard!

[Inazone]

That's an amazing maple top. I'm not too fond of the fretboard myself, but I guess it looks OK with that particular finish. That's a sweet looking guitar, almost the type of finish/top you'd expect on a PC-1.

Interesting. The back appears to be Koa. I've never seen a guitar with a maple top that used Koa as the backing wood! I think the fretboard just kills it for me. It's a nice guitar though, but I would think about ordering one yourself with the exact options you want. Especially, since they want so much for that guitar.

Hello everybody, iam from portugal and ive seen here in a local store a Jackson Dinky Exotic TS (thats the reference on the store) The paper from jackson on the headstock says its from 1984 and has a serial number on the Bolt On neck plate of four digits "2036".

FYI... the guitar was made in 1994 not '84

Not to piss in your cereal, but there's no way that guitar is nos. It looks played to me. There are marks on the bridge and gunk on the fretboard. A USA dinky is never worth spending that kind of money anyway. You could buy two USA dinky's and import them for that kind of cash. Also I hate it when stores stick their stupid stickers on guitars. They always leave residue, which bugs the hell out of me.

Go offer them 1k for it. I wouldn't pay more. If not, I would get a used sl2h. If all else fails you could always go for the cock dragon

[Locrian]

Yeah i've already give up on this guitar, i think i will search for a Used sl1 or sl2h. Thanks for the advice folks.

That statement assumes that everybody likes neck-thru axes more than bolt-ons, and that they are more valuable just because they're a neck-thru. Personally, I'd rather have a custom shop Dinky than a Soloist, and would (and have) pay the same money. I dunno, but in my opinion, capping the value on that guitar at 1K is a little extreme. Price a new custom shop axe with the same specs and you'll see that even at $1500.00 it wouldn't be a bad deal at all. Of course, I still wouldn't pay 2K for it.

How about a mint used one from say "Guitar Center"? That way you
pay about $1350.00 plus shipping and all your added VAT fees which
ends up costing you about $1600.00?

That is one smokin guitar... pricey or not!

Gonna check that possibility

No Mark. This statement assumes nothing of the sort. It was based on the "how much your willing to pay" principle. This is what I would be willing to pay, as a said in my post because I suspect that this guitar has been used and I think a used soloist would be a much better deal. I was stating my personal preference, not assuming anything about anybody.

[Locrian]

Its safe to buy from guitar centre ?
There are some good looking soloists in there

So a brand new guitar for $2400 USD or a used 10 year old one for $2900 USD.

Do you really need to have that explained to you?
