  • JTX and DINKY HX questions?

    Hi newbie here, well sort of. Anyway I have tried the serach feature and it keeps timing out. Looking for any available info on the JTX tele style model. Ill try and get some pics up but i picked one up for next to nothing last week and its in fair shape but sounds amazing, fast neck just an amazing shredding sound.


    The other the Dinky HX reverse is the one i used to have and just want to locate another to replace the one i lost. It seems hard to find info on this axe.

    Let me know any info is appreciated!

        Here's my Dinky HX, it was never available as a "reverse" model. It's never been featured in a catalog, and only about 100 were made in '94 (and I bought it brand new around that time, still have it). The cheap stock pickups kinda sucked, but they did come with a push/pull coil tap on the tone pot. I put EMGs in mine, 85/60.


        Here's the other one I had but sold.

          Had that red one thats the one I want to replace, But mine must have been swapped because it definitely had a reverse head on it! Anyway thanks for the info! Whats a decent HX go for now?

            are you sure it was a HX? How can you tell if the neck had possibly been swapped?

            There was also the DR6, which was a stringthrough Dinky Reverse. Here's a scan from the 2000 catalogue: http://www.audiozone.dk/CatalogScans...2000Page10.htm

              I am positive

              It was identical to the red one but with a reverse headstock. In every fit finish color pickups etc and I have seen a second one with reverse it is located in rochester ny at the House of Guitars. Its a funky color blue though not the same color.

              As for the neck it also had the identical dot pattern as the one in the picture above. Not trying to argue just lettin yall know lol. Also had the active electronics i think it was called tone switch would lift?

                hmmm. interesting. Joe mentioned above that his regular HX has never been listed in the catalogues, so it's possible there was a DR HX that wasn't either?

                  The Dinky Reverse had the same offset dot pattern, but were those available without the locking nut?

                  Could have been a handful of transition models just before going to the DR. The AMIC years were full of experimental runs like that IIRC.

                    Or it could've had a swapped neck.

                          Probably not much. I got my HX brand new after seeing it in a Venneman's Music Emporium catalog, for about $289, I think, or maybe it was $389?? I don't know, it was a long time ago. I guess around that price, maybe a little more, maybe a little less, depends how much you really want to spend on it, if you can find one. Besides Carbuff, I think only one, possibly another board member here found one.
                          The red one another old board member found in a pawn shop in Oklahoma for like $150 or something and gave it to me for the same price. I sold that to someone else here who had it repainted in tie-dye.

                            Not actives. Just a push/pull pot for splitting the humbucker coils into single coil mode.

                              JTXs seem to be going up a bit. I got one for $250 or so a while back, then saw another one go for somewhere closer to $350 - AFTER I sold mine
