  • Help to track Jackson rr model

    I bought this guitar used and it sounds very good http://www.castelfidardomusica.it/it...son-is32t.html.
    Could someone help me to find what model is it and where it was made? The serial number is 1102 409 and it is in the last fret.
    Thanks

    2011 Indian made RRXT. The EMG's were added by a previous owner.
    96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

      Thanks, it's what I think too, but some people say that it could be also an rr3 with a change also of the bridge, in effect it seems to have some traces of the Floyd string stopper,but it seems strange to me

        What? Post a pic of the back. If there's no trem cover, then it didn't have a Floyd. Mudlark is right about his serial numbers, and the RR3 was never made in India.

          No, it hasn't the trem cover, in fact I think too that is an Indian rrxt. Thanks for the explanation.

            I see nothing to make me believe there were any modifications aside from the pickups being changed. If you have pics showing something suspicious, by all means post them.

            Still, I can't imagine it's anything other than a 2011 RRXT. They're a LOT of them around to compare it to, though only the 2011 Indian models have a serial stamped on the board.
            In 2012 production moved to Indonesia and a stickered serial was used on the headstock.

              It'd also be a lot of work to fill in a Floyd route and add the tune-o-matic bridge and string plate then repaint it.

                Yes, and that kinda' work would be noticeable 9 times out of 10 unless they put a veneer over the front and back (the back to cover the filled rear route). Without the veneer that kind of modification would almost certainly be noticeable. If not immediately, most certainly over time as the wood expands and contracts with temperature/humidity changes.

                Plus, the locking nut shelf would have to be reworked, or at least you'd clearly see it was made for a locking nut as opposed to the current standard nut.

                Zero % chance of an RR3.
                99.999999% chance of a 2011 Indian RRXT.
