Hey everyone. I have an early 2002 Jackson RR1 and it has a W stamped in the fretboard on the fret above the serial number fret. I was curious does anyone know what the W means? The serial is u02140 just above the last 0 on the fret next to it is a W. It won’t seem to let me upload a picture of it or I would. Thanks for the help!

Hmmmmm, that's new to me and I have a thing for serials.
Unless I'm missing something, I feel someone at the factory may have been hitting the bottle that day.
96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98. -
Yeah I can’t seem to find anything about it anywhere on the web so that’s why I took it to the forum. I’d post a picture but for whatever reason the forum won’t let me.Comment

I'm not sure what the rules are for new member posts, but to add pics you first need to post them to a site such as imgur and then copy a link to here.96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.Comment

I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.Comment

I was thinking that maybe a previous owner put their own "stamp" on it.Comment

That would be a reasonable theory. We'll wait to see if the other example looks as factory as yours does.Originally posted by ed View Post
Any dealers you can think of that may be being referenced with the W?96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.Comment

Am I wrong in thinking the OP's W is stamped on a different fret than the serial? That's what made me think it was totally odd.96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.Comment

Could it mean
Warranty
As in Returned For Warranty Reasons
Or
A Dealer Stamp for certain options?
Would removing the neck be of any help?
Forgive my ignorance. Just putting out a couple thoughts.

I wasn't trying to be a ass, trust me.Originally posted by JJ119 View Post Jacksons and Charvels do have so many anomalies that one could spend their entire life researching and would still elude the most educated J\C scholars.
I just like to look at them and play them. I'm wrong 99% of the time...I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.Comment

No Worries at all !!
I didn't mean to sound like a dipshit. It was an honest reply.
I am learning something new any time someone asks questions.
The oddities are interesting. Too bad there were no real records kept that would shed light on some of these things.
Count me as a Fan of Jackson // Charvel.
I hope before long I can get a Custom Made Jackson.Comment
