NGD !!! 1992 trans violet DINKY XL

[schrockertherocker]

this is my first Jackson and I have to say I'm very impressed with the quality and tone of this beast !! the bridge pickup sounds damn good for a stock Jackson , actually pretty impressive , my charvel model series covered Jackson pickus sound very thin and shrill to me so I always went for a dimarzio super distortion in those and sound just amazing in the basswood guitars I have 7 model series charvel guitars that are all great but I'm really digging this xl , I will probably swap the jc92 for a dp100 and see if its any better ,not that its bad but ...... I have to say I'm so glad I grabbed this beast , got it for 375$... some surface scratches but almost zero fretware ..plays like butter ITS A ROCK&ROLL MACHINE klzbhunmdwxhthqpm4gh.jpgdxl.jpgdink 2.jpgdink3.jpg

Predecessor to the DK2, I love It.

Nice one...I really like the colour. Little fret wear means you got a damn near new, 24 year old Pro quality guitar for $375.
Interesting that it has a Charvel logo'd JT590. Factory, or a replacement I wonder?

Ive seen these charvel branded bridges on a few other dinky xls from photos on the Internet from 92/93

Im definitely pulling the bridge pup for a dimarzio super distortion, and chaning the volume pot to a CTS true tolerance 500k.. not that the stock pup is bad but just love the super distortion in basswood bodied guitars

[Mudlark]

Yeah, I kinda' thought those cross-brand switches happened occasionally back then with tremolos.

I pulled the stock pickup and it had a hand written sticker JH-2 10.8 it calls for a j92c so not sure if it was like that from the factory or if the previous owner swaped it out .. it wasn't bad but threw a dimarzio super d in it and it really woke this thing up I also changed the volume pot with a CTS 10% true tolerance 500k I got from vision guitar on ebay ....great little tone upgrade ..

I've got a JH-2 10.8 laying around that I took out of a mid '90s Kelly XLR. It was also noted in the catalog that those came with a J92.

I think we determined here a few years ago that no one has ever actually seen a J92 and figured that someone at Jackson made a mistake and wrote JH2 instead of J92 for any guitars that were noted to come with them. Or maybe there were actual J92s and they got mislabeled or changed somehow?

Wow, you scored really well on this, congrats.

I agree with the Super D in basswood, sounds fantastic.

[schrockertherocker]

The previous owner put a Floyd rose type of string tree on the headstock????? Weird

[lepard]

Those were the last of the really high quality Japanese Charvel/Jacksons. 92 or 93 was the last year they used the Schaller JT590 Floyd.

Bitchin' guitar with a very classy color.

[Charvel71]

I love ones from that era!
