  • What reverse headstock necks have binding non reverse sharkies and are thin.

    I have a limited edition jackson that the neck has the dxmg profile and it's too thick for my liking. I prefer the thinner profile of the DK2(if there are no reverse headstock ones I'm going to get a dk2 neck).
    Are there any older models that fit the profile? Thin binding reverse headstock non reverse sharkies?

    None that I can think of, and I've been watching for a long time. Come to think of it, the DXMG might be the only reverse with binding, ever, in a production model.

        I've said this a million times. There are thin and thick years.

        My DK2 is a baseball bat (2003? - no S/N).

        I bought a 2008 DXMG used at GC that had a shredder thin neck for $249, but took it back because I thought it was too much because it didn't come with a case. That was a mistake.

        I don't trust import necks for thin or thickness. Either buy in person or expect to do a lot of buying and selling. With your shipping record, that's not a good idea.

            I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

              I just recently purchased a 1987 Jackson Soloist with reverse headstock and binding (and non-reversed shark inlays)... So I have an exception to the rule?

                If it's a 1987 Jackson, it's a USA model and is a Custom, as everything was custom made back then. This is the import section and only talking about import necks. And a Soloist would be a neck-thru, a Dinky would be a bolt-on.

                  You sir, are absolutely correct. Apologies for not noting the import nature of this section! What a terrible way for me to make an entry to this forum. Sorry about that.

                      Well you certainly sound gracious. I think you'll be all right here.

                        Well I will post some good pics of the new acquisition (in the appropriate section) in a few days. I think you guys will like this red metallic 1987 Soloist with shark inlays and reverse pointy!

                          Friend has a DXMG (maybe year 2000ish?) with a neck thinner than my SL2H, 650XL, DK2. Only neck that was comparable was my 1986 Model 6. So yes DonP is 100% correct about thin and thick years.

                              I picked up a 2005 DXMG neck and this one is about the same as a SL2H neck. Bought it in person to make sure I like the profile. It came with a metallic black headstock - odd.
