Gonna go play some blues on my Jackson dk2 of unknown age....

          Dark Metallic Violet? Was that even a finish name?

          Anyhoo, if you bought it as a new refurb in 2004, I'd say it's a 2004, but the availability of that finish should narrow it down. It also depends on WHEN in '04 you got it - January-March+ it could be an '03.

          And like I said you can always take the neck off and see if there's a date stamped anywhere.

              That looks like Black Cherry to me, but there was a Dark Metallic Violet, too.

                    Now what year is mine?

                    This was my first Jackson as well, only just a regular DK2 and no modifications at all. Bought it in Jan 2005. The neck plate is blank and the headstock has a slight "USED" stamped onto the back. Other than that, it was a brand new guitar with plastic protectors still on the tuners and truss rod cover.

                    I heard these were close-outs, and in order to get a really cheap deal, no warranty work was allowed. To prevent warranties, the serial numbers were pulled and the neck stamped "USED" (in case a s/n neck plate was put on).

                    I like mine a lot. Everyone hates the DD HB102B but I think it sounds good. I've compared it to a TB4 and couldn't tell the different. I'd like to replace the singles with hot rails however.

                      DonP,

                      If you pull the neck off, there is a date stamped on the end of the neck and in the neck pocket on the body. Mine has a Birthday in March.. ; )
