Need larger photos. There is something slightly odd about the body shape and the headstock shape, and the headstock logo looks too close to the truss rod cover.

Well you tell me
do you know what this is?

Unsolicited nude pics?

Agreed. But I am holding off judgment until I see better pictures. I am thinking the angle of the images may be the issue.

I just noticed the slant at the neck for fret access(?)

I remember there was a discussion about the slant before but I don't remember what it's really called.
Slant, Scoop, Cut, Contour.
Is that any type of indicator done only in a year or 2, or from Mexico, Indonesia, Japan?
That may not be of any significance here, IDK.
I remember a Thread some time ago about that but I don't remember the Title.

You guys have good eyes to notice something like the Logo, or the Headstock looking odd.
Could it be the angle of the pic?

That's the only pic available.
Thank You john.w.lawson for the assistance.

Some DK2s had those horn scoops, some didn't. I've never been able to figure out a rule for them.

Unfortunately since those are the only photos you are able to provide, my diagnosis for this guitar is "inconclusive". It is possible the angles are making the guitar look funny.

What is the story behind the guitar? Is the seller trying to sell it to you? Request more photos if possible, and share them here for verification.

Thank You for your reply.

He was looking for info because he was thinking of selling. I and a few others had told him about JCF.
He had not received Membership Notification after a few days, so I asked him if it would be ok to ask you guys.

It was a Gift to him and he said he could have sworn it was 1998 / 99 and MIJ but he found 2 Years and got confused. [ 1998 and 2009 ]
Said may be it was later than originally thought, couldn't remember now.
He doesn't play it and was going to put it up for sale.
Since he doesn't know enough about it, he has decided not to sell.

john.w.lawson offered to post the pic so.you guys could see it, and go from there.

[pianoguyy]

My years may be blurry for many things.
But I am not going to blur 1998 and 2009.

I could see someone saying "I got this around 2000", which takes us 97-03.
But an entire decade of difference???

[JJ119]

Man I ducked up a bit!!
He bought it. Thought it was prior to
2009.

Anyway
The Original Thread is at the Forum =
The Tone Room

Thread Title =
How to find out guitar info

[Number Of The Priest]

Post the direct link to the thread. I could not find it on Google based on your clues.

I agree that your friend should not sell until at least:

1. Providing more high resolution photos.
2. Knowing what he has, so that that information can be conveyed to potential buyers.

Since your friend is still waiting for account activation, contact an admin like toejam to enable his account. Maybe the account activation email was sent to his junk mail folder.

[pianoguyy]

Maybe the account activation email was sent to his junk mail folder.

Which is one of the reasons I still use email, not text.
I'd rather have something sent to a junk folder than not sent at all.


*for full transparency: I do accept text messages. But I am referring to when it comes time to sign up for things - you won't find me using a phone number or a phone email.
