Jackson DX10D?

Sorry.. we don't condone ripping people off.
An MII DX10D is easily identifiable by both the serial number (more than six digits with a leading 0) and the control layout.

Neither do I. That was a test and you passed. What if I told the pawnshop they ripped me off with their lack of guitar knowledge?

So, since the serial number has 8 digits and begins with a 0, and there's a volume and a tone with a 5-way blade, you can guarantee it's a 2000 MII DX10D?

In short... Yup.

Ron (RacerX) has been tracking import serials for a long time.
If he says it's a 2000 DX10D, there's a 99% probability he is correct.

I'm posting in your UG thread, and I'm posting in this one too. This could get confusing!

I'm surprised at hearing how much the guys reckon you overpaid by, but that's probably because I'm used to everything being more expensive on this side of the pond. It must be especially annoying considering the trem's had its socket removed.

So... since it's only worth $100, how much would putting a Schaller and Dimarzio Super Distortion (what neck pickup would go with that?) cost me?

If you like the way the guitar plays, what it's financially worth is moot.
A Schaller bridge will run you about $150 and the SD roughly $50 to $80 depending on if you buy new or used.

I've dumped a lot of money into guitars that are not worth a whole lot.
I have a Austin LP copy that costs me all of $200 new. I've put nearly twice that much into it replacing the pickups, wiring and bridge.
Why? The guitar plays fantastic. A gem among turds if you will.

Remember... you will never get back the money you put into it if you sell it later.
So you have to ask yourself, is the guitar worth it to YOU to invest in the parts to make it better.

I could get another, better Dinky for the cost of upgrading this one. I'll decide what I want to do when I get the whammy bar and straploks I ordered online.

1) I figured out what's wrong with the tremolo arm: It's missing the housing. Anyone know where I can get just the housing?

2) It wouldn't be ripping someone off if I traded them this plus a 10-watt amp for an Ibanez S520EX, the MIK version, would it?
