JS series Japan/India

[JacksonRR]

Hello,
I know the JS series is India made guitar now.
But some guy on ebay told me , befor 2003 year the JS series was produce in Japan. This is correct?
THanks.

I am not sure but I think he is full of sh*t just ot get you to buy it.

[wilkinsi]

the js series has always been made in india. the guy is talking out of his arse.

Actually I'm not so sure the entire JS line is made in India. The serials of some guitars indicate otherwise.

[Rich#6]

Ask for the serial number that would help alot.

I bought an early JS-30 it WAS MIJ.

My old mid-90s JS1 was built in either Taiwan or Indonesia.

Some JS30s were MIJ. I mean the Dinky model JS30, not the JS30 "shape" series such as the JS30RR and etc. - those were always MII.

Get us a serial # like Rich said -- that will tell us.

Thank's bro

JS is bottom of the barrel either way. If you're a beginner, its a much better guitar than I (and most others) started with, but otherwise, its a waste of money that could be better spent on a DK2 or DKMG. I'm sure some will disagree with me (sentimentality), but a few $ more will get you a much better guitar, including real Duncans or EMGs.

Well I loved my JS-30 the body was basswood the neck was just like a model series neck,reversed headstock.The black paint was perfect,the jackson CVR pickups sounded pretty good.The trem was not the best but did a decent job.I did put in a set of Duncans later on.

I'm actually not so sure. Remember the pics of the JS35 Euro runs? Some of those had 9xxxxxx serials. So they were either MIJ, or Jackson have started fukkin' up the serials completely.
