So after 16 years of owning a Jackson guitar I finally decided to sign up on a Jackson forum. I have a 2000 Jackson KS2 made in Japan. It's black with a Jackson Floyd Rose, reverse headstock and 2 Seymour Design HBs. I've been trying to find info on this guitar for a while now with no luck. Basically the type of HBs used and any other info. What I have found is it seems to be an alder body with a mahogany top and rosewood fretboard.

Pics to come shortly. I am the original owner of this guitar and she is in excellent condition. I was 18 when I got this guitar as a Christmas gift so I don't have any of the paperwork naturally. Any info would be appreciated.

Welcome... KS2 Kelly Star... rare guitar. The Japanese version was only made for one year if I recall correctly.
Pickups should be Duncan Design HB102B and HB101N (Basically JB and '59 copies)

Not sure in the body wood.

Hmm, so I edited my initial post to add a pic and it all disappeared.

Welcome to the forum. The body is either alder or poplar, I can't recall offhand. The cheaper KSXT was in the 2001 catalog, and I think the KS2 was in the 2000 catalog.

Yes Sir it was in '00 catalog. On Jackson's site, I pulled up that catalog found it under the Rhoads section. When I was 18, I thought it was a RR variant and asked for it for Xmas. Lo and behold, I got my wish that year.

I have seen around the internet that it is indeed rare. Only produced one year. At times, I consider selling it as I am older and personally feel it's a bit too extreme looking for me now.

Gorgeous model. Now that's something they should bring back instead of focusing on generic copies of other brands.

Agreed!
