Re: can someone help me identify....
Well, it is you say a Jackson. Unless I am mistaken (most likely), the only Jackson bolt-ons made in San Dimas had serial numbers 1001 through 1505. After that, they were made in Ontario.
So, I'm stumped. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: can someone help me identify....
an ontario guitar, jackson did have some plates left over when they made the move i think...current value?...i wouldn't pay over 5-600 for it...that being said it boils down to what is it worth to you?...body should be made of poplar...nice guitar...i'd say go get it it's a price you can live with...coveted?...they go on ebay for 5-600 a lot of times so i wouldn't say it's an ultra rare collector's item or anything...but all of us that own usa jacksons sure do love 'em...d.m.

Re: can someone help me identify....
I'm a huge fan of these guitars - I have two Dinkys from this time period that are awesome guitars. Going rate is about $500, maybe higher if it's a real Floyd - which that probably is, since I'd guess it's an '87 - instead of a JT6.
These guitars are the best value in U.S. made guitars right now, IMO.
