3DR or Predator which one is better?

Cool.
I'm a big JB fan myself.
They just work for my ear.

Nope, my headstock is black, prolly just the crappy cell phone pic.

For those of you who liked it, here's an indoor pic of my Predator so you can see the crackle a bit better.

That really is a great crackle. I like how there's both big and small crackles in it.

Incorrect. The 3DR, is one of the first Dinky bodies that Jackson/Charvel made.

I'm curious what 3DR means or how they came up with that name?

How they came up with 3DR? Someone mentioned previously that it's a Model 3, Dinky Reverse.

The Dinky body style itself describes the size of the body in comparison to a standard Strat body. Dinkies are 7/8 the size of a Strat body.

I understand now, thanks!

well for $243 shipped I have a white( color I really wanted), but full of stickers 3dr on it's way. hopefully wit some oops the stickers will come off and there won't be any color differences. I have a hamer schaller here that maybe with a block change can be swamped with the jt6. I had emailed daddys and never heard anything from them, asked about the frets and if the price could come down and low and behold 10 off shipping and 40 off the price online. SOLD!

I think you'll be happy.

I hope so. Now I have to go sell some stuff since I also have coming a charvel model A plus and a korean made squier strat.

I got the 3dr much worse condition that said. I first got an email telling me that it didn't even work but I said fine I'll fix that . New pot and attach loose wires and it's working. I wasn't told about the chipped headstock, glued trem post, and the many deep scratches. I love it anyway. Need some adjustments. Got all the stickers and painted figures off. I am supposed to get 30 off so the guitar will cost me $213. I am going to see it the stuff I have to get scatches off my car will work on the guitar. hehe!
Oh and the trem has some screws that the heads are stripped on. Looks like I need to get a bigger block for that Hamer/schaller I just got and dump the jt6.

How bad did the stickers fade the finish (or not fade)?
Can you see where they were?
Too bad it's not nicer than you hoped for, but cool that you love her anyhow.
Prolly get some extra mojo points for that.
Let me know what you want for that JT-6... can can use the parts.

The stickers didn't fade the finish- I was so hapy about that but when I removed the painted figures it's faded under them.

Sounds like a cool project guitar none the less.

I ended up paying 213 for it, but I had bought a schaller trem for another guitar so I just added a 42mm and swapped trems. Now I could have bought a mint one with the money I spent.
