Need help Identifying this guitar...

[MetalElf]

It's a bolt on neck. Looks like maple. The reverse headstock says "Jackson Professional" on it. The truss rod cover is blank. The neck is 24 frets offset [top] dot markers.

The body is a "Dinky" body (I've been told this anyhow...) However the finish is throwing me for a loop, because I've never seen this kind of finish before... it appears the be a sort of "unfinished" black stain or flat/satin paint. It catches highlights but not the mirror finish high gloss that I am use to on other guitars. There is also a visible wood grain texture instead of a glass smooth surface.

That's all I know about the finish. It appears the hardware is original. I can't tell what the pickups are. Just that they are double-humbucking. The tremelo system says "Jackson" on it. Looks like a Floyd.

The serial is: 604940 on a Jackson embossed plate. There is no "J" leading the serial. I have no clue what year this guitar is, if it's real, not or custom? Any experts out there who can tell me about this?

I would really like to know the stats for this so I can put it up for sale.

Pictures would be a huge help here.
Are the pickups covered or open faced? Is the hardware chrome, silver, etc? What is the control layout?

Going off of what you have stated so far, I would guess maybe a DR5?

I'll try to get pictures later. I don't have the means right now. The hardware is all black. One volume knob, one tone knob and a 3 position switch. The pickups are open and attached directly to the body. There are no covers of any kind on or around the pickups.

Serial makes it a 1996.
Possibly a DR, but would need pics.

Sounds from your description like a satin finished ash body.

Is the ouput jack recessed on the top of of the guitar. Or is it in the standard postion on the edge? Are the side elliptical or contoured like a carved top?
What color is the finger board? black or brown?

Nice WTS ad.

The output jack is on the standard position on the bottom edge. The fingerboard is brown rosewood. I don't know what "WTS" is. Anyhow I was able to get a friend to take a picture:

WTS means "Want to Sell".

People who register with a discussion forum just

lacking in class.

I still own the guitar I signed on to simply ID it, and don't ever plan on
selling it.

At least you stated your purpose right up front, most don't do that.

Body looks like a dr3 but the neck look like plain old dr? maybe a mutt?

Thanks for the contribution.
