Need help with recognizing A Jackson Model from 1993

[Mudlark]

An import serial for 1993 would be either 93xxxx or 3xxxxx, but the DK2 wasn't released until '98.

As for the 'Dinky Custom' name...yep, that's a production model name from the early-mid '90s USA Series (later named and currently called USA Select Series). Jackson's naming of models have oftentimes been confusing.

Check out the names in the catalogues.

Thats weird. thats what the seller said, i guess he was wrong. I guess its another Dinky custom. Asking 100 bucks more than the first one, tho.
I was searching the catalogue but as you said its confusing so i didnt really find the excact model. also didnt find one with birdseye maple, so couldnt match

[Mudlark]

Yes, this is a '94 USA Dinky Custom with an Eerie Dess Swirl graphic. A DK2 is a Japanese/Mexican made import which have different serial number formats than the USA models.

This one has the specs you'd expect to see on a production Dinky from that era...bound ebony/pearl shark fins. The earlier guitar with the maple board isn't anywhere near as common. I could only guess the maple board was a limited model as it was never shown or referred to in the catalogue with the production models.

Same year (1994), but OFR on the Eerie Dess Swirl while there's a JT590 on the birdseye?

When did the JT590 stop being used in favor of the OFR on stock/production USA Jacksons?

Is it worth the price, tho?
I mean, its personal for each one, ofc, but overall according the specs

Assuming the neck is original you did great.
Even if it isn't, based on the prices you quoted for your country you did great.
If you like it, you did great.
I would say all indications are it was a great buy.

Thanks.
i was talking about the second one (The one i did not buy yet, first page) though (=
I just have zero knowledge about value. Thats why iv'e asked.

If both guitars were in reasonably the same condition I'd put their value pretty even, though the maple board could very well be considered a bit more valuable because they aren't as common.

In the North American used market there are very many good deals available quite regularly. So many available guitars creates prices to get absurdly low. A patient buyer can find USA bolt on models for as low as $7-800 USD, even less. Neck thru USA models can be had in the $1000 range.

I'd value your guitars between $800/good condition, $1200/excellent condition according to the US market right now. That's just my opinion and opinions will vary.

Thanks for the answer, much appreciated.
The birdseye fretboard is probably more valuable, but i was just wondering as im not gonna sell it. one of the best necks iv'e touched
