I am going to tear it down, and see what the date is if its stamped inside the neck pocket. The trem also seems to be blocked I cant whammy on it. Going to do a full going over tonight. Will keep you guys posted.
Yep no date code on the neck or neck pocket of the body. There is the number 55 in black marker on the bottom of the neck, not sure if that means anything. Yep the trem was blocked with wood on both sides. All wiring looks original but I noticed it has the small pot, not like the Japan or India Jacksons. Does anyone know what pickups are in these? I pulled them out and the backs are blank only thing on the back is 4 Philips head screws. They look cheap to me, I might switch the bridge out with a Vintage Dimarzio Super Distortion I have, or I might buy this cheap Ibanez gio this guy has forsale for $90 and pull the Dimarzio Tone Zone that is in it out of the bridge, put the Jackson one in the gio and sell it for $50 bucks.
If there isn't major fret wear or any big divots in the frets, for $75 with the case I'd buy it if it was me. Hell, you could probably get close to 75 for just the case if you decided to get rid of it. As long as the frsts are good you could swap the trem and the pickups, give it a good setup and I bet it would be a great player.

Yep frets are great, only things is the headstock has a shave it in, not sure how this happen I have posted pictures of it, that's all that is wrong with it.
I've been seeing this Korean Performer thing for years with the wide dots, however I has a Black PS3 Rhoads that had the gold sticker on the back of the headstock that said "Made in India", yet supposedly they weren't made there. Bought it from Guitar Center right out of the box. I shit you not.
Transitioning from Retired Musician from cover bands to a Full time vocalist/frontman/guitarist in an original and covers band....it's been a while and this should get NASTY!

I believe it. Someone here had a weird Dinky with a 24th-fret sharkfin inlay that was either Indian or Indonesian, from some time in the early '90s, if I recall correctly.
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
