Import Serial Number / Country of Origin FAQ

[ed]

I'd forgotten about that DK Audiozone site, thanks guys. I "KNEW" I'd seen this stuff somewhere but when this subject came up again darned if I could find it. Bookmarked.

So a 90 Soloist Professional is the real deal, ebony, MOPs, neck through, etc. Tempting, VERY tempting... But I want a 24.75 so I think I'm going to continue my search for a 750XL amber that's in good shape and not insanely priced. ;-)

Thanks!

Maybe include Jackson archtop pros in your search. They were 24.75 inch scalers aswell.

Rare has hen's teeth, I haven't seen one of those for sale in years! But yes, that is one to look out for, no doubt. Thanks!

Those '90 PROS had practically identical specs as the USA's of that time.

In my opinion, the only way you'd get $1500 for one would be if it looked un-played. Even then, you could get a used USA with a real Floyd for $1500 or less.

Could somebody assist identifying the specific model and country of origin for my RRV I bought second hand - I was told it is a MIJ model but I assume its made in Indonesia by World Musical Instrument Co. Not worried it plays nice, just curious.

I think it's a Jackson RRXMG X Series Rhoads - Snow White with Black Pinstripe

It's a neck through with active EMGs - dodgy serial number sticker on back of headstock and no Country of origin markings.

Thanks for your help.

Not sure how your post was missed, but that's a 1990 Soloist PRO. Top of the line in it's day. Made in Japan with practically USA specs.

Schaller JT590 tremolo, quartersawn neck, MOP inlays/logo...The tuners were originally Jackson logo'd GOTOH tuners.

Yes, RRXMG from Indonesia, post 2012. The original serial was removed because that's a manufacturers refurbished guitar.
They put those stickers on there and remove the old so they couldn't be sold as 'new', even though they are. Usually the flaw isn't noticeable...just a bad switch or something that was fixed.

Sometimes it could be a finish flaw.

Yes, an RRXMG with a manufacturer refurbished sticker. The original was removed while the 'issue' was fixed.

Bad switch, or possibly a finish flaw.

I just purchased what I believe to be a JS30RR. The serial number is 03120949. Based on what I read at the beginning of this thread, that would make this a 2003 MII. However, ther thread also says the JS30XX series wasn't manufactured until 2004. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A pic would be helpful since serials can be swapped.
It's common to see guitars made late in the year prior to the release year, though.

I can't figure out how to attach photos from my phone. However, I removed the neck and found 6A909 written at the base of the neck. A number 4 was is stamped on the underside of the neck between the screw holes. On the body there is what appears to be JKJ510 written. The guitar is a Rhodes V design with sting thru body, adjustable bridge, 1 volume knob and 1 tone knob, 3 way switch, 2 covered Jackson pickups. Headstock has Crafted in India stamped into the backside. Jackson chrome tuners. 24 fret neck w/ white dot inlays. Thanks!

Sounds like one, and those random letters/numbers are indicative of Indian markings.
You need to load pics on a site such as https://imgur.com/a/zRTUD and then copy the link here.

Hi folks - newbie here.

I have a Jackson body which I suspect is a MIJ Dinky, serial number is 9818407 based on the neckplate. From this forum thats possibly a 1998 MIJ model. The body has no other identifying marks and has a Fender US 24 fret strat neck fitted. I'd be grateful for any info anyone could please confirm any info on the Jackson model, age and if possible the body wood ?

Many thanks - photos follow:
