bought a used dxmg and wanted to ask a few things?

[savage]

Is this one a MIJ? it has a 7 digit serial # starting with a 9
also how reliable is the 580lp trem?
any other owners here have any real good things to offer about the DXMG?
so far i am really loving mine

[rjohnstone]

9=MIJ
The 580LP is a decent trem... not great, but still pretty good for what it is.

is there any way to know the year of this DXMG?
something in the serial # maybe?

I can try to narrow it, what is the ser#? (Why didn't you post it above? )

Also there have been plenty of threads about the DXMG, have you tried the search function?

At first I did not like the reverse headstock, but now I feel it looks kind of medieval, so I can pretend I'm my former idol Ritchie Blackmore dancing around with tights, a cape and a lute and that hot young blond chick he plays with!!!!!!

My dxmg is about two and a half years old. I have two others guitars with the orginal Foyds. Though I don't use the trem a whole lot I can't tell much of a difference to be honest, the 580 stays in tune just as the ofr and there is no noticible difference in sustain. I love my dxmg except for those hz pickups.

[wilkinsi]

swap them out for an active 81/85 set. everybody else swears by them. my mg series guitars never stay in tune for very long. i suppose you could consider swapping the jt580 for an ofr while you're at it. it's a retro fit.

nevermind what i did to find the year of the guitar or at least a APPROX age is look at the date stamp of the stock EMG hz H3 pup
the pup says 2003, so this one is definitely a MIJ then right?

[savage]

have you tried the search function?

yeah i did!
man you ask that a lot on new threads!

[rjohnstone]

...so this one is definitely a MIJ then right?

Yep

Some things, such as this, you might want to keep to yourself.

Things like that makes this forum worth reading... among alot of other things:P

What is the ser# ?

no matter it turns out that the date and a code is on the neck and the body neck pocket. i took off the neck to have a looksee and there it was.
so now i know that it is a NOV 1 ,2003 and that it was not mutted out
the code 11 11 is on both the neck and body
