Any ideas on what model this is? I can pick it up with the case for 350. I always wanted a fire crackle.

Heres what the guy sent me:
"This is a Jackson Charvel....Just reset, rewired and tuned. Brand new case. As far as I have been able to find out, this guitar was built between '85 and '87. Serial plate on the back says its origin is in Texas. It has Jackson licensed Floyd Rose, Jackson and EMG active pickups."
Ya think its worth 350?2008 DXMG in Gray w/ Duncan Mayhem set

Tough to say.
Made in Japan, in spite of the neckplate (company headquarters was in TX, that's all that means).
Depends on how much you want that crackle finish.
To me, it's worth around 250, since it's got an extra hole drilled in it for that added tone knob.
I have three predators, which are the improved version of this model (well, later model, I think improved due mostly to the Schaller Floyd, and Floyd style locking nut) and just love them.
Paid around 200 for each of them... none had the crackle finish.
That prolly ups the value to 300, but subtract 50 for the mod.
That's how my math would work with this one.
Your milage may vary.

$350.00 is too much for a modded 3DR. You can get a crackle in many different models, the 3DR being the last on the list IMO.
Pass on it is my recommendation.Comment

The trem on the 3DR is not the greatest.
My Predator (as spike said, is much improved over the 3DR) is fire-crackle and I got it with the case for $275.
I'd also make sure it's an EMG pickup, because I think the stock pickups are covered which may be confusing the seller. That would raise the value a bit (if you like EMGs) but still not $350. I'd offer him $275 and see what he says.ScottComment

I love fire crackle and I don't have a fire crackle guitar, so I may be stupid and pay the $350 for the crack

It may be a little overpriced, but if you like the design go for it. You can also always try to bargain for it.Comment

Hold out for one that's stock, for 200 or so.
In this economy, it's just a matter of time.
