Jackson teasing new finishes for the Pro Series Dinky

[Flatpicker]

Are the Pro Series MIM?

I'm so confused lately on origins.

[Force]

Yes

[Confuse-a-Cat]

As if there weren't already several different finishes in the MIM DKs that I want to get my hands on!

I've been wanting to grab one of the chlorine bursts since they came out, and I've fancied the metallic purple, blue glow and silverburst... and now that green swirl. I want a full pic and I want it now.

+1 !

if it's a print, it's going to be a pain in the ass to apply since it wraps around the body. AFAIK, Jackson has never used prints (apart from a brief period in the 90s when they did 'gravure' tops ie. printed maple under trans finishes), so there's a good chance it will be a proper finish

Jackson is doing some limited release models (the Bomber finish comes to mind) that use a decal graphic (under clear coat) which can be identified by a sunburst that cover the edges of the decal. Charvel also recently did a on a series of Custom Shop guitars commemorating the World Cup. Again, these have burst edges so they're easy to spot. Any finish that goes around the edge of the guitar is going to be paint and not a decal because the seams would show.

interesting. But as you say, easy to spot because they burst over the edges of the decal

Drumcityguitarland have got these up on their site as 'coming soon'. They're all listed as limited runs, 125 made worldwide. -



Good stuff! I'm a little disappointed that the headstock isn't swirled on the green one, though. The plain green headstock looks out of place to me, next to the swirl body.

[Nightbat]

Yeah that instantly turned an awesome guitar in a dealbreaker

[Metal Spawn]

Indeed. The other two have matching headstocks, so why not the green swirl???

I can imagine it with a swirled headstock and black sharkies... Oh my!

Not digging the switch location, though...

[Force]

Yeah, that switch is odd.

125 worldwide? I bet there's a premium pricetag on these. I'd love to get the Bengal.

[toejam]

Yeah, that switch is odd.

It's not really that odd. Jackson has done that placement before on certain Dinky models from the mid to late '90s. I got a Dinky body off ebay many years ago (Musician's Friend had a few exclusive Dinky Reverse models like that) with the same switch placement similar to Ibanez.

[Catharpin]

Holy fuck! That green swirly is the shiznit! Day-um!

+1 I would like to see it in purple!

[Force]

TBH, i like the where the switch is, easier to get at but it would look neater centered under the controls.

[Kisonen]

The swirled one would have been cool with matching headstock or with green logo on black and them sharkfins.

Anyone else wish these were offered in a hss config?
