    Dinky revs, made in 2000?
    I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

        It's a lower end model, hence the Duncan Designed pups. They're not too bad though, and an easy upgrade. I'm not sure if that's a good price or not - I'm thinking that's equivalent to at least £100 UK. If so then it's not a bad price, but you could probably get something better for not a lot more.
        Someone from the USA can comment better than me.

        It has a reverse headstock, which I always like.

          I think 150 is a good price. It comes with that case, right? I forget what year they started with the DD pickups. Not too sure about that trem though. No markings on it at all. Possibly replaced? Or does the jt500 have no markings. That trem screams made in india to me but I cant be sure.

            ALL of it screams made in India, But I had a js30 And it really wasn't that bad of a guitar! for 150+plus a case.

              That's a good price. I like the designed duncans myself(except for the detonators but I don't like invaders either). That trem route can be upgraded to a schaller trem and shouldn't be a problem. Most people don't like those trems-cheaper metal.
              The biggest problem I have had with the india jacksons is the bad finish on the back of the neck, nothing some 0000 steal wool didn't fix for me.

                  Those inlays are just....... *PUKE*

                  then again it's your guitar, If I don't like the inlays someone else may and therefore it's opinion.
