Reverse HS 80's Jackson - How much?

[Inearthed]

This guy locally is selling a reverse headstock HSS 80's Jackson with a firecrackle finish, ebony fretboard with mother of pearl dot inlays, original case. All is said to be "excellent condition" and he sounds legit. I'm going to go check it out tomorrow. If it is what he says it is (and the condition is as good as he says it is) how much should I offer for it?

Sorry about the image size, kind of in a hurry right now.

I put this in the Ebay section this morning. I can't stand crackle finishes so I didn't even bother emailing him. Anywhere from $400-$600 is what it's worth

Ahh... Heh... Yeah, I'm a compulsive Craigslist checker, too. I might go check it out tomorrow. If it plays nice then I might grab it if he's willing to move a bit on the price.

I just checked my e-mail and he sent me the S# for the axe, but referencing that to the USA Serial # chart it doesn't match up with the San Dimas USA Jackson bolt-ons. Its a 4XXX number, which would make it between '86-'89 and (but the plate says San Dimas, CA). What's the deal with that?

I think I've read that they had some leftover San Dimas plates that they used on some Ontarios after the switch...
anyone wanna confirm or deny?

Re: Reverse HS 80\'s Jackson - How much?

Leftover plates were used till 89'. Any plate number higher than 1505 was made in Ontario. That is also the Ontario cavity route. I had one in H/S and was a great player but cheaper than what he is asking, then again it sounds like his is in nicer shape than mine was also.

Good luck!

If the condition is good as he said, I'd say $700-800?
No more than $800 IMO.

Re: Reverse HS 80\'s Jackson - How much?

I e-mailed him an offer and explained the whole situation with it not being a San Dimas. Hopefully, he'll understand and let me know right back. I'll let everyone know the result of all of this sometime later today (lunch break probably).

Re: Reverse HS 80\'s Jackson - How much?

Well, he rejected my offer so I'm just going to let is pass. Not really GASing for the guitar. He insists that it is a real San Dimas Jackson and isn't moving on the price. He said he contacted Ed Roman to verify that it was a San Dimas and also said that he's a Jackson collector; so for all I know he might post here.
