DXMG

[ozzuk1]

hey there I plan to get one of these as saving for a good guitar like a DK-1 will take wayyy too long I am impatient.

Anyway after hearing soem fellow jcf comments taht this is as gooda s a USA jackosn when it ahs been upgraded? I.E. Schaller or an OFR, and EMG Duncan or Dimarzio pickups?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Owain

Re: DXMG

I have a dxmg with some dimarzio pickups (tone zone & humbucker from hell) and an original floyd. It does sound better than it did stock with the new pickups. I've never played a dk1 so I can't tell you how it would compare, but I have played a soloist and the dxmg feels cheap next to the soloist. However, just because it doesn't feel as good as a soloist doesn't mean it's a bad guitar and that you shouldn't get it. With new pickups and an original floyd you'll be in good shape.

Re: DXMG

I don't think the DXMG plays cheap next to MY Soloist.

I wouldn't say it plays as well, but the difference is small.

Everybody has different tastes, opinions.

How a guitar is setup is gping to determine how well it plays.

My guitars are setup very, very well. As a result, my imports compare quite nicely to USA models.

I'll leave you with this final thought on the DXMG.

I had to cut down on some gear, I sold my US made DK-1, but KEPT the DXMG. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: DXMG

2Loud2old is right in that it is one of, if not thee best import Dinky Jackson offers. I've not had much of a complaint on mine. I actually like the EMGHZ pickups, however I got one of the original India made DXMGs, and it came with a JT500 trem. The trem is the only real complaint I have with my DXMG. The JT580 should not be an issue though. At my local store I have played some Soloists a DK1, & a Model 6. They all played a little different and sounded a little different, but compared to the DXMG I thought there was little difference in quality.

Re: DXMG

Why yes, yes we do. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

I don't think it's reached the level of redudancy of, oh I dunno.. the lemon oil thread. [img]graemlins/fart.gif[/img]

However, in deference to Admiral Ron, who if I'm not mistaken.. HAS no DXMG, [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/idea2.gif[/img] I propose we hereby and henceforth, refer to said DXMG as the "Reversed Wonder"

Re: DXMG

he has those women in his pic so that probably more than compensates?

Anyway thanks for the help guys, very interesting to know about the DK-1 dropping the only thing I prefer is the satandard jackson headstock, although it's growing on me.

Cheeers, Owain

Re: DXMG

I bought a used DXMG in gun metal gray not even a week ago and i still am amazed at how good a guitar these are [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
seriously,i will be putting on a OFR when i get around to it but it is not as a necessity as i thought it would be? the the J580lp is not all that terrible,it is not as good as a OFR BUT for now it keeps the tuning fine.
I have my trems set to just dive.
the neck on the DXMG is GODLIKE for a $300 guitar [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
it really feels and plays like a USA DK-1, the guy i got it from had the frets dressed for a lower than low action(less than a 16th" at the 24th fret) and it is faster than hell!
i put in a tone zone and a super II in the neck and it sounds monsterous through my modded 5150 stack. i am real satisfied with the guitar in
whole, the only thing i wish is that jackson would have done is used a better looking MOP inlay

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think it is really an ultimate guitar. You the only that is the matter of the player are the pickups. And that is it. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Long live the DXMG!
