Is it a soloist or a dinky? I can't tell from that angle.

Isn't that one of those script logos?

[Tekky]

Re: What is this guitar?? USA or Japan

It looks to be the older script logo, like what was on Randy's guitars... Another question would be, is it original?

DOOHHHH - it is USA - look at the logo - [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Well, it looked older in that one picture.... I'll be back later, I've got an appointment with my eye doctor. [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

But, I've gotta say... That body does not look like a Jackson body.. The double horn scallops remind me of a newer Kramer and the angled heel joint remind me of a Fernandes.

Anybody notice the string retainer bar on the headstock? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: What is this guitar?? USA or Japan

Yeah, there's a couple of things about that headstock that don't look right to me. One is the string retainer bar. Others would be the finish, logo, and the shape of the headstock seems beefier. (but I've already established that my eyes are going)

Hello?? where's the truss rod cover ?? I'm thinking that's a complete fake actually. Usually the Jackson logo would match the USA font color wouldn't it? Actually, that control cover doesn't look correct either. Hmmm

I have no clue [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Agree, and add to that: "U.S.A" - shouldn't it say "Made in U.S.A." on the headstock? Also, lower edge of headstock is much more curved than what i'm used to on a Jackson. And the ® is placed outside the "n" in Jackson.. that's wrong too, isn't it? It should be inside the "n". The ® also looks just like a white square.
Jackson guitar? Nah...

I don't know if it's a Jackson neck but the scalloped looks so nice.

Take off the neck - if it's a Jackson of any kind (USA or Pro) it should have the model ID inked on the end of the heel (Pro) or an ink stamp, handwritten info, or woodburned Jackson logo on the bottom (USA).
