Is this a Good Deal?

[Dan]

I was at a Guitar(Music)shop today and they had a Jackson "Professional",Dark Purple,Schaller Tremelo(Floyd Copy),2 humbuckers,both said Jackson on them,but were the "Blade" style,Vol,Tone,3 way(looks like a 5 way)switch. 24 fret,piranah inlays,bolt on. all for $299.00.Is she worth it?It was in good condition.

it's probably a good price if it's got a schaller - purple is a good color too

It had a Reverse headstock,I forgot,and it was spelled"Professional" right after Jackson. Just more tid-bits.

Sounds like a '90s Dinky Reverse with the blade pickups, but it says Professional on the headstock and has piranha inlays? I thought they stopped using the Professional on there awhile before they started using those inlays.

My

Dinky Reverse Pro has the offset dots. Never seen a Rev Pro w/anything else. My Pro XL has the sharkies......

Anyways...the Pro Rev is a great guitar. Ultra-thin neck. Love mine. $299 with case isn't bad...

Some of the old DR5s had sharkies, mine does. Most I've seen do have the offset dots, though.
To the OP, are both pickups blade or just the bridge?

[Inazone]

DR-5 = offset dots
DR-3 = MOTO sharkfins
Dinky RVS = MOP sharkfins

DR-5 = offset dots
DR-3 = MOTO sharkfins
Dinky RVS = MOP sharkfins

I had two Dinky Reverse models... one from '94, one a year or so later. The '94 had MOP offset dots. The other had reverse sharks, I can't remember it if was MOTO or MOP, though. One's truss rod cover said Dinky RVS, the other said Dinky Rev.

I seen it again,and(My memory was bad)It had "dots" instead of "Piranahs" Sorry about that.I played it and I was impressed. I just cant afford it. It did have dual blade pickups.
