This may seem like a sin to the guitar gods but I'm not sure what model my first and only electric guitar is.
I bought it off my friend about a year ago when I had first begun playing guitar. He told me he thinks he was the 2nd owner of the guitar but may very well have been the 3rd.
I asked him what model it was and he said he wasn't sure because it was his first guitar. He said it believes it was produced in the mid-80s
It's a black Jackson with the "Dinky" type body. It has a Humbucker, and two single coils. It has dot inlays, and only 22 frets which seems unusual for a Jackson too me. Tuners, pegs, and bridge are chrome with black volume knobs (has a rough grippy texture) It does NOT have the reverse-headstock like most "Dinky" body Jacksons that I see in magazines these days. There is no binding on the neck/headstock. Also, a small characteristic that might come into play- When I adjusted the intonation on the bridge, I noticed that on most all guitars the cube thingys (I don't know what they're called) move horizontally, where as mine move vertically when I adjust them
I would feel like a good daddy if I knew what model/year Jackson I was playing
I'm going to try to get my friends digital camera, cause it just eats at me a little bit everyday
There is also no type of tagging anywhere on the guitar body, neck, or headstock other than the word Jackson lol. However, on the back of the headstock there is a sticker with: 65003634, which probably doesn't help the cause but it's worth a shot
I kept looking for any type of name anywhere on the guitar that would give me a clue, but there is literally nothing.
It'll probably turn out to be some piece of junk, but I don't care I love it, and just want to know what it is..
