  • Yea!! Got the DR Amberburst for cheap, w/aftermarket PU's!!

    Okay, I went back to the pawnshop where I got the Kelly Professional a couple weeks ago, and I have been watching this really nice Jackson Amberburst Dinky Reverse. But it had been marked at $399 for many months. I was waiting for it to come down. I go in today, and lo and behold, they had just marked it down to $269! I asked them if they'd pay the tax on it, which they did, and walked out the door for $269. I made SURE the serial was Japanese. (Thanks to you guys!) It's 97XXXXX. Has a beautiful flamed maple bookmatched top, and a crazy flamed maple neck, which I never see on any imports, at least not the ones I own. Has reverse sharkfins also, like the Kelly.

    And, as an added bonus, it has a Bill Lawrence USA pickup (that's all it says) in the bridge, and another aftermarket pickup called a "Dime Time" with the "Dimebag" signature on the back. This pickup looked like a plain old Duncan Designed pu until I pulled it out and looked at the back. Holy crap man, I think the pickups cost nearly what I paid for the guitar! Again, thanks for all the help you guys have given me with regard to these import Jacksons!

      My DKMGT has some good flame on the neck as well. It' essentially the whole reason I bought the guitar. Plus the neck is really wafer thin.


      And yeah. Let's see some pics!

          Okay, I'm going to try and post pics. I am still on DIAL-UP, believe it or not, because we live pretty far out in the country. I'll have to see if I can remember how. I'll also take pics of the Kelly. May have to get some help from you guys on it, 'cause it's been a long time since I've done it. I'll try to host them at the Dean website, since I've always had an easier time there. Seems we tried Photobucket one time, and we had problems with it.

            Sounds like a nice one, Dana! I had a candy apple green dinky reverse from about '95 or '96, and it had an incredible amount of flame on the back of the neck.
            I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                        Hey guys, we had problems when we tried to load the stuff on the Dean site. If I email one of you guys the pics, would you post them for me? Just wondering. I really want to put them up here. Thanks!

                          Yeah, they do still have dial-up. It beats nothing, and it costs almost nothing. Like $6.00 a month or something like that. But yeah, it's kind of a drag. I just can't bring myself to pay $50 or $80 a month for higher speed. I'm waiting for it to get really cheap.

                            Yeah Joe, I don't even have a USA one with this kind of flame on it. It's really killer looking, even looks better than the top on it.

                              No, what I meant is that it literally only says "Made in USA" even on the back. There is no model number. It does say "5-year warranty" or something like that. But yes, I am thinking it is the 500XL since there is a Dime-related pickup in the neck position. Oh, and it says something like "Not associated with the designer Bill Lawrence since 1984" IIRC.
