Rochester... In fact both of the 'skulls' came from NY. The DK2 I got at a small store in Syracuse and the KV2 was a private sale from a guy in Rochester. The KV2 is mint.

DK2 looks like someone THREW it into the back of a pickup truck without a case and drove it to the nearest guitar store. Maybe it's hot? Maybe someone was pissed off at their own inability to get the tuning stable... who knows. The DK2 had all of the machine heads bent slightly and the back of the guitar is banged up pretty good around the edges. I'd drop filled some of the lacquer to repair it, but I'm not done getting all the marks out yet.

Thanks dude, it's a fake though. Not a fake Jackson, just a no-name warrior style bass with a Jackson sticker on the headstock. All of the components are junk. The strings are actually cutting into the 'metal' string-through ferrules! I actually got it set up proper last night. It doesn't play too bad actually, although the fretboard is quite wide. The pickups are also fakes and they puff.

is that a jackson.. warlock??

[Luafcm]

No dude, that's an 80's BC Rich Rave2 Warlock. A real cheapy... It was my first guitar. It had a nice 24.75" scale 24fret neck on it. It got busted, so I put a GF neck on it. I also installed a floyd for fun (I had to change the scale length anyway). I painted the bastard camo too.

I've repaired the original neck and truss rod, but the fingerboard couldn't be saved. It's too bad, it was a really dark sample of rosewood, almost ebony looking. I'm going to make a new fretboard out of brazillian cherry and use the old fingerboard for inlay material (the cherry is bullit hard but light in colour)



I'm also building a new warlock basswood body. I like the warlock shape, but I don't like the dimensions of the standard warlocks. The one I'm making is about 90% the size of a standard warlock and has sharper points and more bevels. Here it is with the partially finished fretboard on the old BC Rich repaired neck...
