I have a KV Pro Dave Mustaine Sig right now, and it most certainly isn't well made. Well, structurally, and cosmetically it is awesome, but the fretwork is awful, a real embarassment to Jackson. The fret ends are rough as hell, and there are all kinds of high frets. I am currently doing a whole fret job on it. I should also mention that this thing has almost no play wear whatsoever.

Is that a US or import?

Did Dave go to ESP? If so, maybe that's why?

Re: hands down the best made jackson import is?

Zeegler, you had tha King V Pro since it was new? If so, why did you take ownership of it after realizing the frets were so bad. If used, how are you certain previous owners didn't fuck with it?

The guitar belongs to my other guitar player, who bought it from a mutual friend of ours. He bought it brand new, and only had it for a very short time before he sold it. My other guitar player is one of those guys who is a fantastic guitar player, but is an idiot when it come to equipment.

To be honest though, even crappy frets would not stop me buying something if the price was right. I can fix anything! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Gorgeous! Beautiful finishes on both of them, and the inlays look fantastic! Does the Amber on say "Professional" on the headstock?

Thanks man ,they are my favorites.The amber one does not say "Professional on the headstock.I think it is a factory fuck up it also has a Charvel serial number on it.It could be one of the first ones made or even prototype , who knows.I guess it could be considered a bit more valuable , but it is still a Japanese guitar and not a USA.

Looks great... but did they only come with a trem?

In this case, I actually really like the Archtop Pro better... at least if the particular one is string-thru. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: hands down the best made jackson import is?

Yeah the old 90s Pros can't be beat. Totally killer and can be had for a steal now.

Re: hands down the best made jackson import is?
