Since my blue refin'ed '88 got ripped off I've been looking for a replacement for "old Blue." I wanted a bolt-on, pointy-head. Would have preferred a Charvel, and a reverse headstock. Good fucking luck, right?
I considered a DK1, but quickly found that Jackson had discontinued both Cobalt Blue and Dark Metallic Blue, last year I think.
So, some guy had a blue DK1 listed on Ebay for a long time... Looks like Dark Metallic Blue to me, but I suppose it could be Cobalt Blue. I like both, don't really care - it's blue, it's a DK1.
Ad says it's "new" or "as new" "never been played" etc. but I think his price is a little high, I guess the market agreed, it wouldn't sell for him. And I guess most people who want a pointy guitar with EMG's probably want flat black or exploding zombie skulls or something like that anyway. :dunno:
So last night, I decide I'm going to make him a fair offer, and he accepts! As-new DK1 in a discontinued finish. It's a pretty good deal... Should be here next week. Guy's feedback is 100% so I'm hoping it's as advertised, but the original "old Blue" had been dropped on a cement floor from 3' off the ground by my idiot friend about 5 minutes after I made the mistake of selling it to him, so I'm sure this one's gotta be in better shape unless UPS gets really stupid with it.
Looking forward to New Guitar Day!
