Where is the DK2FS model made?

[zenpeace69]

Japan? Korea? China?

I found a DK2FS firestorm with an amber flamed maple top and a reverse headstock rosewood neck with the upside down inlays. Where were these made? What would this be worth used?

Japanese made.

[zenpeace69]

Thanks. What do these run on the used market?

i sold my dx10dfs for £150. both models still sell new for £300 in the uk, so i would not pay any more than what i got for mine.

Wait, there are two models of the firestorm? I thought there would only be the DK2FS, but now you are saying there is a DX10DFS? Is that a Japanese made model, too?

[wilkinsi]

dk2fs:
bound fingerboard and headstock, standard jackson h/s, HSS pickup config.
dx10dfs:
no binding, reversed sharkins and headstock, HH pickup config.
I was just saying they sell for the same price, ie: £300 new in uk. as i sold mine for half that, i wouldn't expect to pay more than £150 for a used one. both are made in japan.

It's worth whatever someone's willing to pay for it....see you in the Classifieds

Ok, well I guess I bought the DK10DFS model for $279. I'm pretty happy with it. I put some Gibson 490/498 pickups in it and it sounds great. Here are a couple pics:

Get rid of those hideous knobs! Nice looking guitar otherwise.

I like the Gibson tophat knobs a lot. I think it looks very cool with those, but the third knob (the control for the boost) doesn't have a knurled post so I can't put another gibson style tophat on it. I may swap the pot out to make it look more uniform.

Hey if that is what you like go for it! It is your guitar.
