The black hardware is mine. I believe the other post was for comparison purposes.

Oh, don't get mad because I put my face from today up

No Worries.

I wish I had found this place a lot sooner.
Salt & Pepper
Vinegar & Jalapenos

It's a great mix of people!

Enablers, Definitely.

Neck is not right for that guitar. The standard DK2 necks had full binding. This one pictured doesn't have any headstock binding.
The body looks legit. The lower horn scallop was used on all painted bodies. Natural finishes didn't have the scallop.

That's Great Info about the Scallop, right there.

It's the guitar , Not IMO a DK2

John... it's got all the characteristics of an early/mid 2000's DK2 body (HSS config was used up until 2006/2007).
That neck came off of another model Jackson.
All DK2 necks have binding around the headstock.
Most likely a parts guitar. Not bad looking.

Very strange that there is neck binding, but no headstock binding. What neck models were configured this way? I cannot recall any.

Black hardware and Seymour Duncan pickups indicate 2006-2011 but that still doesn't answer why the headstock is devoid of binding.

In the other thread (https://www.jcfonline.com/forum/equi...16#post2547116), the owner himself (LiveeviL2000) is curious about the guitar, but not curious enough to consider disassembling the neck from the body. In my experience that is the surefire solution to solving the mystery. The neck pocket and neck heel would have the date stamps and model name stamps that would have the conclusive evidence. Alas, I leave it to the owner to decide whether it is worthwhile. In my opinion, it is not a difficult procedure, and the reward outweighs the inconvenience, but I remember when I was a teenager who was afraid to disassemble guitars in fear that "I'll screw it up and I won't be able to get it back the way it was before" which is silly in retrospect because electric guitars like these are completely adjustable to a very fine degree and you learn so much by disassembling and reassembling your guitar.

The thread linked earlier says the serial is 9847836, which would make it a 2009.
looks like a DK2 to me, possibly the headstock binding just not as obvious in the photo

Yes, the Headstock and Neck is fully bound.
