My new DKMG with some problems... HELP!

[KabaK]

What's more, the serial indicates that it is a 2006 guitar - but it was probably made before the upgrades went into production.

Are you sure about the serial? How can you undertsand that?

Can I have the rug?

[RobRR]

No, not upgraded trem. According to John @ JCMI, the trem upgrade was on the Pro-series only.

Really? That doesent make much sense considering the MG series is higher up on the chain than the Pro series.

No, it's not. MG is closer to X series, but with EMGs .

I think;

DKMG is a pro with EMG
DXMG is a x with EMG

The Pro Series was always "top of the line" of the imports, although it has gotten thoroughly watered down over the years. I would however agree with you in point, since the MG series have much nicer features overall than the Pro-series. However, this is obviously not how JCMI feel about it.

In 2006, the Pro-series was upgaded with the hardened trem and real Duncans. The MG series was upgraded with real EMGs - except the DXMG, which still has a weird connection to the X-series (it keeps its HZs - however some dealers do put in actives in them). I would also guess that the DXMG was changed to having a basswood body in 2006, since that is what the rest of the X-series got. Why that guitar is in the MG-series is yet another one of the great Jackson mysteries.

Are you sure about the serial? How can you undertsand that?

Like our trusty friend Ron (RacerX), I've started compiling a list of import serials with known manufacture dates. I think your guitar's serial is high enough that it should have been made in 2006. However, I would guess that Ron's list has a lot more entries than mine, and he may be able to give you a more accurate estimate.

New just means not bought previously and not played properly...i have a new dean select V...it had been sitting in the same guitar shop for 2 year sbefore i finally saved up enuff to buy it...

Well a 2005 model guitar you buy on December 2006 should be considered "new old stock" and that should be mentioned I guess

Really? That doesent make much sense considering the MG series is higher up on the chain than the Pro series.

To me that doesn't make sense because they now have to build 2 versions of the jt-580 lp, which will cost more then upgrading all IMO!
