Help With Country Of Origin For My New Guitar

[Damian]

So first off hello, I'm a newbie to the forum and Jackson guitars in general. I don't discriminate, though I have been doing time with Dean V's as of late. So this past weekend in a three way swap I left with a DXMG. Gloss black, Dinky style, reverse headstock, shark fins, EMG HZ's, and Jackson FLT. Anyway, my serial number is 01061806, I've been through all the import number threads and am lost. The guitar plays well after a quick setup, but the HZ's aren't really doing it for me. Before I began searching for pickups I'd like to know if the swap is even worth it? If my guitar is not Japanese or Korean I don't know if I could justify the money for a JB + 59 swap. What do you think?

Sounds like an older Indian model. Newer ones have real EMGs and a 9 digit serial number (made in Japan). The only thing that throws me is the shark fins. I believe the DKMG had piranha inlays.

Thanks for the response, you are right the DKMG did have the pirahna's. I'm pretty sure all DXMG had shark fins. The guitar seems solid but I don't know about an Indian built guitar, who knows though, back in the day we all considered Japanese guitars to be cheaply put together

:Go to the third type, titled "8 digit serials" and read the section further down titled "1998 the Indian X series". It looks like you have a 2001 MII Jackson.

thanks for all the help, by the way if I pull the neck what additional information would be shown? Is it anything significant?

You may find the date or some code, I have not had much luck with the India Jacksons as far as getting a date. Your best chance is with the X series ones (like yours) as some of them have dates, but most that I have seen / pulled do not.

If you pull it off, take a pic and post it.
