I have a Cobalt Blue DKMG dinky that I want to sell and I don't know what a reasonable price to sell it for would be. It has a JT580LP trem, and EMG-HZ pickups with a TurboCharger. I bought it brand new for $700 in late 2004. It probably needs a fret level, becuase a lot of the notes on the 12th fret are choking as well as some notes on other frets. And last but not least, it has a few minor scratches on the backside. Otherwise, it's in very good condition. So what's it worth?

Originally posted by Carbuff View PostI would say between $250 and $350. I think the HZs really kill the value on these. Most people figure that they will replace them right off. I feel for you as I have a cobalt blue DKMGT that I figure only has a similar value.
I think people are unfairly harsh on the HZ pickups though. I wonder how much of the negativity is really just hear-say.

I guess the thing people have against HZs is they aren't like 81/85s, which are active, and people try to compare them. The other thing is to that many people look down as them as "budget" EMG's, as they tend to be featured on cheaper guitars, with nicer ones getting 81/85s (ESP/Ltd being especially guilty of this.) I think there good pickups, though I'd rather have Seymour-Duncans or Gibson USA pickups. Or better yet 81/85s :P. Still sounds like a good guitar though.

if it makes ya feel better, i'm still using my 2004/5 WRMG which has the passives and turbocharger. in all this time, i've never switched to actives because i've never felt the need to. think of it this way too: when i bought mine late '05, i paid 600 quid. the '06 MG's (pre-installed 81/85) cost the same.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal
