Serial number sounds alright. Should have San Dimas plate, built in Ontario though. I'd guess 600.00 to 700.00 If It's real clean with original clean case.

Re: Dinky 88 blue crackle finish Help!

so the neckplate should say built in Ontario, San Dimas?

Re: Dinky 88 blue crackle finish Help!

No! It will either have the San Dimas California address or Ontario California address on it. How cheap can you get it for. Sounds nice, I have a Lava Crackle myself! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Dinky 88 blue crackle finish Help!

[ZeNo]

Re: Dinky 88 blue crackle finish Help!

so thats about 425 dollars i think..
and keep in mind USA Jacksons are way more expensive here than in the usa

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it! As long as it's not beat to hell that's a good price indeed! Good luck and enjoy! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Yeah, 2274 is my guitar which was made in `88 and is signed by Grover Jackson on the back of the headstock. The neck plate is a San Dimas although it was built in Ontario. As you can see, I have replaced the Jackson JT-6 Tremolo (Black) with a chrome Schaller and fitted a Zero Fret Locking nut. Also, I`ve fitted a couple of Duncans. The Originals were a J80C in the Bridge and a J100 in the neck position. These guitars are superb, a different class to a KE-3. Buy it now!!!!!
Hope this helps
Cheers
Steve

Agreed ... $425 is a very good deal if it's in good shape, particularly for overseas. Buy it now!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Who is Rover Jackson? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Is it "The Rover" by Led Zeppelin played on a Jackson guitar? I think you mean Grover Jackson. [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

BTW, that's a sweet guitar and I wouldn't hesitate to pick it up! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
