What do I have

[wstoll]

I have a Guitar here that I cannot ID.
Bolt Neck 24-Fret w/ Kelly style body
2 Duncan Designed HB's HB103N/HB103B
Black Body w/Chrome Hardware; Licensed Floyd
Unbound 24 fret Rosewood Board w/ Sharkfin Inlays
Maple Neck w/Scarf Joint....Jumbo Frets
1 Volume knob
There is a Blank Gold Sticker on the back of the neck by the pocket and a White sticker with a 7 digit SN# ?? starting with 109
I believe it is a Factory second as it has a 2 stamped into the last fret area.

Welcome. I believe that's a KX10D. If you pull the neck off, there may be some marking on the neck and in the neck pocket that helps identify it.

Looks like it says 3-1 and 1M

Im going to agree with toejam. But could it be an orginal KE3 from the mid 90s?

Sorry, I have no idea what that means.

I don't think the KE3 ever came with that cheaper JT500 trem, did it? I thought it only had the JT580.

A sticker with the serial number on it?

[warlok]

I'm guessing PS-6T (Performer) body and either a KE3 neck. The blank gold sticker on neck by the heel probably once said "Made In Japan" but wore off. Maybe the white SN sticker is what the factory did with it being a 2nd..

10xxxxx is made in Korea. Must say Performer on the headstock?

[wstoll]

Blank TR cover, nothing indication a model anywhere. I am cleaning it up right now. Pretty sure this is the original neck! Very tight
pocket and no signs it had ever been removed. Probably has a pound of buffer compound in the cavities. I know it is a lower end Model. The Trem is missing the thread part for the arm. Was found in a trash pile on the curb! So putting a little bit of $ into it is
still a win. Had pretty good action and all electronics work. Just trying to find out what it really is. Unfortunately the archived 2000
Catalog is un-readable for the X series. Every catalog I have seen showing these with 1 Volume knob, says 1V 1T in the spec sheet.
Guess Jackson didn't care about accuracy in the low end listings....LOL.

I think it will clean up nice. I saw a thread somewhere saying the White stickers with numbers were Inventory stickers and not SN#'s. This is a 7 digit Number starting with 1099xxx. So you think Korea? almost everything I find online is pointing to India. I'm
not confident, that I will find out but it isn't a big deal.......I know this isn't some lost Super Dooper Model......and it was zero dollars for my buddy, who found it.

Ooops. Clearly, Performer isn't written on the headstock.
Judging by the number, I'd say Korean PS6T with a neck swap or a model not released in North America.
BUT, numbers are tricky. Indian numbers are at least 8 digits unless it's a fairly recent model and NHJ is in front of the number, then they can be 7 digits.
Another theory is it's a 2001, Indian KX10D with the 0 missing from the beginning of the serial. I've seen misprints before.
It also looks like the K10 Pro Musicians Friend exclusive from the late 90's, but the serial is off for that as well.

I'm perplexed...

Is there any info posted anywhere on that K10 pro??

I do not think the neck was swapped, that neck pocket looks to have "original junk" is very tight and the neck screw holes seem like I am the first person to unscrew them. Assuming the case is original, how long did they use that Charvel/Jackson Logo? I see that logo in the 1992 Catalogs.

[Mudlark]

If you google image 'Jackson K10 'Pro' or 'Kelly' you should find a small number of pics. The K10 has a chrome trem like yours and sharkfins, but keep in mind I may be wrong. The serial number still confuses me for an Indian made guitar, which the k10 apparently was. There are wiser folks here that may correct my theories.

Here's an old thread mentioning the K10: http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/964...-ID-this-Kelly

[rjohnstone]

JS Kelly with a neck swap most likely or even a K-10 body with another neck.
The Kelly K-10 MF version had dots, not fins.

[jacksonaxes]

I had a MF special It was called the JK-20 pro, and it had the JT-500 trem and sharkies.
