Got a DXMG...But....

Re: Got a DXMG...But....

Maybe India, not Korea...

I can't imagine a tech saying the frets looked too big, but there is definitely a difference in feel if you're used to smaller frets. Actually, I had the opposite problem. After playing Jacksons with extra-jumbo frets, I bought a KV-2 with medium-jumbo frets...and hated it. The difference in fret size bothered me a lot, as did the "speed" neck profile.

My brother has an old Guild M-80 that is 24 frets with an ash body and ebony fretboard (a combination I would normally love) but the smaller frets make it unplayable for me.

dude i've been around since 03, hardly a newb.

probably indian then, all i know is it was shit quality and when I asked the guy at the store he said it was not japanese built as it woulda been better built. end of the day i didnt care if it was korean/indian/japanese or whatever, the quality was SHITE and was not worth the shit on my shoe

Re: Got a DXMG...But....

and if thats true about it being made in japan, then well that sucks and i wont be buying no jackson mij...i was under the impression that DXMG's were of good quality. Can anyone confirm that at one point DXMG's were made in India? They aint all made in japan?

Re: Got a DXMG...But....

MY DXMG was made in DEC of 2001.
It IS a MIJ, There were no issues with it, in fact I liked it better than my USA DK-1

Prior to 2001 (or at least 2000), DXMG was briefly made in India, along with the DX10D.

To my understanding, Jackson moved the DXMG and the "X" series to Japan after encountering QC issues in India.

As an aside, every DXMG I've seen apart (about 6 or so).. had a date stamp in the neck pocket.

I have NEVER experienced sharp fret ends on my 8+ Imports I've had the pleasure of owning over the last few years.

Any such condition should be in the extreme minority for the MIJ line of the last 5 years.
