Noob here. Help me identify my Jackson Stars.

[Mass Defect]

Hi. I'm from the Philippines and Jacksons are pretty hard to obtain around here. Just got back from Shinjuku and bought this one used. It's a Jackson Stars and it says limited edition on the headstock. When my luthier looked at the body, he concluded it was mahogany. It has a flame-ish maple board, black binding up to the headstock and black piranha inlays. It looks like an ESP M-II if you ask me. And plays great, the maple board kind of puts a bright sound to it. What model is it? Here are some pics to help you guys.

Thanks!

Sure is pretty, whatever the heck it is!

[Mass Defect]

isn't it a stars dk-o1? It has emg-hzs on it.
thanks for the warm welcome. i can't find anything like it even from the audiozone catalogues or at rakuten or on the j stars website...

hmmm...
it's a beauty. i sure fell in love with it after plugging it in. made me pull my wallet right there and cancelled my trip to Okinawa. Lol

All I can say about that, is that it's some kind of limited edition Dinky.
Take the neck off and see if it says anything in the pocket.

I took the neck off before setting it up and the word LTD+ the serial number is marked on the pocket.

Whatever it is...is sure looks nice. I also bought a 2nd hand JS from Ishibashi store in Shinjuku when I was there. How much you pay for it in yen??

[Mass Defect]

Y65,200. Looks and feels brand new. No issues at all so I was wondering why the hell it's on the used gears bin. I love the fret work and the neck. It even rivals the Bnew ESP M-II Maple board sitting next to it.

[Sunbane]

If it has no model marking other than "LTD+", then I'd wager a guess that it doesn't have a model designation. It's probably a limited "half custom" run for a retailer, or some such thing.

[Mass Defect]

So is it like those Ishibashi I-RG Ibanez prestige guitars? Wondering how many of these exist...

[NextInLine]

Well imo it's just a limited edition DKMG (or whatever its Jackson stars counterpart is named ) just like all those limited edition DK2Ms and DXMGs etc.

[Mass Defect]

well not a dkmg since this one is a flat top. The only thing similar to it in the dkmg line is the piranha inlays.

I think it's a DXMG. In JS the dxmg is named as DK-01 so probably this is like that one. Or a maple board DK-BN02 (like the dk2ms) since they too have emg hzs. oh well...i guess this one is a hopeless case. LOL! Thanks for the help guys.

Sweet

Maple board with Black Binding...

Sure is a beauty... ive been looking at the ESP MII, myself, as of late... this gives me some hope there might be a Jackson out there to rival my decision making process.

Reverse headstocks -are- the way to go, my friend.

[Mass Defect]

the Esp MIIs are way overpriced if you ask me...it nearly has the same specs as a JS dk-01 anyway. Just put on a real floyd on it and you're set! And you don't have to put up with the chunky neck and the buzzy xj frets.

and yep...reverse headstocks definitely look cooler IMO!
