    Need info on a Dinky

    A pal in Iceland has this one, and is wandering about some build info.

    I guess someone here knows how to crack the serial. I have actually never seen a four digit serial myself.
    The guy thinks, but ain't sure, that this is a 87 Usa Dinky, is he right?

    According to the jackson website it was made somewhere between 87 and 89, at the Ontario factory. I'd say 87 might be accurate but the neckplates from those years apparently were not strictly sequential. The pickups are probably not original, trem looks like a jt6. Any clue as to the body wood?
    I feel festive all year round. Deal with it.

      The Jackson plates with the San Dimas address that came after #1505 were not used in sequence, so that serial # can only tell us it was from the '87 to '89 time frame:

      Crafted with the demands of the discernible player in mind, Jackson guitars give you the shapes, finishes and tones you love. From the venerable Rhoads, Soloist, Warrior and more, shop Jackson for the highest performance.


      Sometimes a hardware feature like a particular Jackson trem can help narrow it down more closely. In this case, the pic is pretty bad, but I think that is a JT-6 trem (possibly with changed stringlock blocks, hard to be sure), which should narrow it down to '87 or the earlier part of '88. They started using the JT-590 in late '88 on USA Jacksons.

        Should be a date in the neck pocket as well.

          Was it common to order a jackson with a floyd and no locking nut or even a stringlock?

          Edit: upon closer inspection I think I can see two holes where there was once a behind the nut stringlock.

            Send some ice down here please! I know Cinci isn't the hottest place, but it's too hot for me.

              That's got to be a pain in the butt... I mean, the LAND is ICE. How do they grow tomatoes there? :think:

                Pull the trem cover plate off and look on the grid it will have the date there maybe.
                Really? well screw Mark Twain.
