Help to identify this import Jackson (pics included)

[yuri_1973]

As far as pics tell ....

24 frets, rosewood fb, no binding, one piece maple , regular dot inlays/markers, matching headstock, "Professional" logo
No horn-bevels "à-la Fusion", no archtop, ... regular flat-top with arm & body contours
HSH with pickup rings, no logos visible
1 vol, 1 tone, 5-way switch
black hardware
s/n 700326
(is that a Jackson logo'ed Schaller-made German Floyd? Definitely not a LP type ...)

Anyway ... Any idea which model is it? Approx year?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers!

Looks like this (1997 Dinky DX2 ?), except for the tremolo ....

It's a DX2 with the original JT580, not the Schaller JT590.

Somebody took the JT580 out and put an LP version in that (specifically from 1994 since those LPs had square baseplates).

Yes, a '97 MIJ DX2 in Cherry Sunburst. Yours has the JT580 trem, but I don't know if they're Schaller, Takeuchi or neither. Someone will know.

Thanks ! Any clue on current value $$ of these Prof's ? Looks in very good condition btw

[yuri_1973]

guy is asking 350 € with a hardcase .... after what I've seen googling around, I think I'll pass

[toejam]

I don't really know what the value would be, but I'd say $300 to $500 or so U.S., maybe. The Japanese Professional line is pretty good all around. Maybe I'm completely wrong.

[Number Of The Priest]

As a satisfactory deal, I'd probably pay 350 CANADIAN DOLLARS for that, which is about 240€.

[Mudlark]

I'd say $300 USD in decent condition to $450USD in excellent condition with a hard case. North America offers too many great deals to pay more in my opinion.
I wouldn't at all feel bad about paying 350 euros ($400ish USD) with hard case if the guitar passes my hands-on test.
