This guy thinks he has a KV1/KV2. I told him it was the Japanese King V Pro, and he told me I was "totally wrong" and should "put on my glasses and look at it". Somebody please message him.

Good Morning King, I am sending you the answer FlickStop sent to another individual. NOT to be rude... 1. Dave Mustaine Sig series was not made in Japan - exclusively USA Pro-Line. 2. Japanese models usually do not have shark teeth inlay, they have dot markers. 3. Japanese models are all bolt on neck. 4. All Japanese models are known as "student models"not "Pro-line".5. I paid over $2000. for this guitar & if it was Japanese it would have been $200. 6. The seriel # on Japanese models are a decal on the back of headstock, not imprinted on the bottom of the fret board. ANY MORE QUESTIONS? P.S. Only if you are interested in buying. thanks. You can also send inquiries to fastmail.fm for flickstopvideo. Jen assisting Johnny

I Kinda think that because it has 1 humbucker is what makes it a KV1 and 2 hums makes a KV2.....
I beleive thats the definitions to Jacksons model numbers...

He's wrong on every single one of his points!!
1. The Pro line was MIJ.
2. Lots of Jap models have sharkies
3. Lots of Jap models are neck-thru
4. Only a few Jap models were Student models; most were Pro.
5. He paid way too much!
6. Serial #s are stamped on the fretboard for neck-thru, and stamped on the neckplate for bolt-on. I don't know of any company that has serial #s on stickers.

There are a few. I have a 1994 KE3 MIJ, no neck plate. The serial is on a sticker on the back of the headstock, but this is an exception.
edit: Before anyone points out that I'm full of shit, it's 1996. Sorry

Yes, indeed, there are some exceptions. There were some neck-thru Model series Charvels that had stickers with serial numbers on the headstocks. My old bolt-on Kelly XLR didn't have a neck plate either, but I believe the number was stamped on the board.
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

The 86 Model 6 (maybe 5 too) were neck-thru with stickers. My 93 Kelly Pro STD also has no neck plate and has a sticker on the back of the headstock. This guy is either a con man or got taken and trying to lie his way to cover his losses.
My gear
87 Charvel Model 6
86 Charvel Model 4
93 Jackson RR EX
93 Jackson Kelly STD
88 Ibanez RG560
99 Schecter Diamond C-7
Peavey Bandit 112
I Kinda think that because it has 1 humbucker is what makes it a KV1 and 2 hums makes a KV2.....
I beleive thats the definitions to Jacksons model numbers...
Hence, SL1 = 1 Hum
SL2 = 2 hums
But then the WR1 and RR1 is a throw off...
No man, the KV1 has 2 hums. KV1 had a fixed Kahler, but I believe there were a few special runs made with Floyds. KV2s all have Floyds.
Also, do USA models have a 'J' in front of the serial numbers? That should tell him that its Japanese and not made in USA. I remember my SLSMG used to have a J in the front but my SL2HT's had a U in the front.
