Can you identify this Dinky??

[jgcable]

I am posting pics for Pencilsketch again!! He apparently is starting his own northeast chapter of the Jackson Museum!! Pencilsketch just purchased a Jackson Dinky Standard Professional and it has some really unusual features. Here is a link to the pics and a description of its unusual features. I have never seen one like it. http://cage.scriptmania.com/photo6.html

I've never seen one like that either. I think it's pretty cool. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Nothing rare, it's the Dinky Standard, made in Japan. They had matching headstocks, matching dot inlays, matching pickup covers, matching knobs, and a clear pickguard. Made around 1993 and sold new for $550 with case...

Thanks Charvel750. I had a feeling you would respond. Is the Charvel logo'd trem on it a stock item?

I've never seen one in person, but I've always thought they looked very cool. I like the maroon one in the '92 catalogue. The only thing that guitar is missing is the original colour-matched humbucker. Very nice, pencilsketch. Congrats [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Is it just me or does it look kinda like an RG...

Re: Can you identify this Dinky??

With the color matching hardware and the matching headstock it does sort of resemble an RG if you look quickly. RG's don't have rounded body edges and of course the headstock.... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I have one of these in black. I used to sale jackson for a local redneck when these came out. I like the character that these have. Mine just happens to be for sale. Its 8.5 out of 10. but all origina land the frets are factory perfect. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: Can you identify this Dinky??

Don't even come in here with that attitude, blacknapkins! You insult all that which is Jackson by saying the Dinky Standard is rare. Regarding Japanese Jacksons, nothing since the early Professional Series can even be considered for being rare, and at that, the AT Soloists might, just might, be considered rare, especially the LTD 91. But a Dinky Standard? From the later run of Jackson Pro models?

Re: Can you identify this Dinky??

Ha, gotta love Charvel750. Never a lack of hyperbole with that one...plus the most arrogant member of all chastising me over my attitude. I've never seen one post by you that doesn't sound like it's coming from the almighty. My point was that they don't seem to come around often, but it's your opinion that is the final word, right?

dude, piece of advice; lose the shirt, the wig, and half of that wack colletion, and then we'll listen to you. I mean, 5 beach scenes?!? c'mon....

Re: Can you identify this Dinky??

They aren't rare, they just aren't plentiful CURRENTLY. It's not like "LTD" or "PCS" rare - more like "Warrior Pro" rare; they're out there, in closets, by the truckload, waiting to be sold on Ebay.
There aren't a ton of them on Ebay because so few people are actually interested in an RG-style color-coded guitar unless it says "Ibenhad".
I think semantics are getting in the way of the facts - rare is generally defined as limited in production numbers, and infrequent means rarely seen for sale.

These are infrequent, but not rare.

yeah, semantics get in the way of alot of things around here....like actually playing the damn things.
