Guys sorry for the v basic question but I can’t seem to find this info using the serial decoders online! Thanks in advance!

Do not use the serial decoders for Jackson. They are only good for one particular product line. (and feel free to copy-and-paste that in every possible place to prevent misinformation from getting out)
Use JCF (that's us), not to be confused with the JCF facebook page which is garbage (from what I hear), or you can try asking Fender (actual Fender, not a message board). Fender either knows or they don't, they don't usually give bullshit answers. -
Now that I got that out of the way....
Help us out with your guitar.
You are posting in the USA section, but it could also be an import. Are you even sure it is a Dinky?
Maybe some pictures would help.

Yeah, how are we to surmise anything? No pic, no serial which won't tell much without pic. Could be a four digit SD custom or a newer custom shop, could be a five digit production model...pic'sOriginally posted by Immanentv View PostI know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.Comment

assuming it is in fact an '80s dinky or strat, the serial number would put in in the range of 1987 - 1989. but we'd need some pics to verify that assumption. edit: that sentence is incorrect, I forgot about the 0's.
finding a specific year would need to be checked using a scan of the log book which I don't think anybody who's active here has available.Last edited by metalhobo; 08-26-2021, 09:04 PM.Comment

That is a Fender-era guitar. Contacting them should yield good results.Comment

Some members or a member here have collected serial numbers and dates so that is your best bet to get accurateish date.
I have a DK-1 with serial 006178. And i somehow thought it was 2008 but checking the catalogs i think its earlier than that since they started doing the DK-1s with EMGs in early 2000s like 2001 I believe. Also your DK-1 would have come with EMGs from the factory. And yours has the scuff with the headstock where the clearcoat has lifted and that could narrow the date down somewhat.Comment

Oh, whats up with the teen girl-ish narratives on your responses. Is that supposed to be your idea of wittty banter. I have to say at your old age most would expect more. Have wonderful day in your bar or is it guitar stores lmao

I am not up to speed on date stamps for USA bolt-neck Jacksons, but are date stamps present in the neck pocket and on the neck heel? I would disassemble the guitar and look for those stamps.
Coincidentally enough I'm currently investigating a different DK1 with serial number in the 0061xx range, close to the serial number Ed has. If I buy that, I'll obviously disassemble and check for stamps.
Given the serial number page on the Jackson website (https://www.jacksonguitars.com/support/bolt-on) ends at 2001 (just before Fender's acquisition of Jackson and Charvel) at serial number 005051, and the topic starter's serial number is 006517 which isn't too far away, and the delamination defect seen on the headstock logo was noticed on Jacksons from the early 2000s, I would guess his guitar is between 2002 and 2005 at most.Comment

It did indeed come with EMGs originally that were swapped out by the owner. Thanks!Originally posted by ed View PostComment
