Sorry I am pretty much a Jackson noob. What is weird about this guitar? It looks to me it is just another KE-1. Ok there is no signature but yeah?

Re: Another USA weirdo I found.

Nothing is wrong.
Very cheap priced at $450 with no reserve.
It started from $1000, then dropped to $700 and still can't sell.
It has many small damages though(there are other pics).
I have been watching this and my friend has been in touch with the seller to back door it.

Maybe he's referring to the logo. "USA" instead of "Made inj USA". That is weird. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Re: Another USA weirdo I found.

At the very end of the headstock, there's something that could say "Stars" or something else... but you can't make out what it says in those pics.

Yeah....that's an oddball. I always automatically assume it's fake unless it's proven otherwise. My guess would be a Stars also....

Compare the logo sizes. Stars' Jackson logos are smaller than the USA logos. This logo is definitely smaller than a US logo.

wat kind of humbucker does it have?

Re: Another USA weirdo I found.

Smaller logo? Of course these models of KE1 and KV1 had smaller Jackson logos AND only "U.S.A." logos instead of "Made in U.S.A." because there is a signature logo of Marty is on the headstock, Jackson was unable to put larger logo.
So it ended up with only U.S.A. and smaller Jackson logo.

Here is a pic of KV1 headstock.

Re: Another USA weirdo I found.

The "on" in tha Jackson logo looks a bit suspect also.

Re: Another USA weirdo I found.

I see it the same as the one I just posted above(KV1)
I also had a KV1 in Black that had the same logo as well.

Nah, it just looks like they had a sloppy day laying the MOP on the headstock.
