    Need a little clarification on MIJ Dinky SN..

    Hi all,

    I just acquired a Jackson that I've ID'd as a DXMG, (has two EMG passive humbuckers but does not have the gain boost. Per wiki this would suggest it's a DXMG).

    Now, my question is this: One other post on SNs for Jacksons states that if a specific guitar has just the Jackson logo on the headstock, has a 7 digit SN and it begins with 97 that means that it was MIJ and made in 1998.... Yet, I'm not 100% sure that the DXMG was MADE in 1998... And since 7-digit serials beginning with 97 don't show up on Fender/Jackson's ID page, I'm left to track down the info on my own.

    Anyone have any input on this?

    Thanks in advance!

    2) 1990-1991 Les Paul Custom flame sunburst with ebony fretboard. Gibson stock pickups. H/H
    3) 1991-1992 G&L Legacy. Red. Maple neck, rosewood fretboard. G&L stock pickups. S/S/S
    4) 2003 Jackson Soloist SL3 was trans red. WIP refinish.
    5) 2006 Jackson Dinky DXMG. Gray, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard. OE EMG H/H

      No problem! I figured I'd throw out the info and see if anyone has anything to say.

      Thanks! Took me 20+ years to finally get a Jackson, and now I've got two, (and counting!) So, happy to find a community still into this sort of instrument...

        Why don't you post the entire serial number here to help the guys who are experts.

          FIRST, regarding wikipedia --- I just went in and edited the page to say that the DXMG was a high end limited edition guitar.
          Now your guitar is worth something because wiki said so.


          As to the serial ----
          you are right but wrong.
          The digits started in '96 with 96 and went sequentially. That doesn't mean that a 97 serial was from 1997, it means that 9700000 came after 9699999.
          Jackson was in the 98's in 2010.

            A 97 number has 2 meanings: 1997 and 2003ish-2007ish. Since there was no DXMG in 1997 it would be the latter.
            96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

              I understand wiki isn't the be all for finding info. But the only entry under dinky that matches everything my guitar has and doesn't have is the dxmg. So I tenitivly I'd'd it as one. I'm here to get positive I'd.

              I plan on posting photos and serial numbers but did not have it handy last night and won't be home until this evening. when I get home I will get photos and an and post that info.

              As for the an date, I understood the post about the and going in order but there was one clause that claimed. A Jackson dinky mij with only Jackson on headstock and a 7 digit sn stating with 97 was made in 98.... This is why I was asking for clarification as I figured this one want that old....

                Not sure why anyone would say that, but it's incorrect. Those particular numbers are date-coded: 97='97 and 98='98. That format was only used during 1996-98 and not all models used that format.
                ...though, import serials have many examples that don't 'follow the rules'.

                96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

                  Not sure why either but here's the thread I was referring to:

                  Line in question:

                  *If you have a bolt-on Jackson that only says "Jackson" on the head, and the serial number starts with 96, 97, or 98, it was made in Japan in 1998.

                    Post #34 of that thread corrects that statement by saying '96, 97, 98 with 6 digits was made before 2000.
                    96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.
