jackson performer guitar

Can anyone tell me anything about this guitar? year? made in? etc...? serial Number 8633370
can't find a thing on it, or in the realm of where it falls on database.

Thanks in advance.

Serial number

I have the same problem. I purchased a Jackson Performer that came with the serial number 8633252 which doesn't match the known Performer series guitars. Nobody on any forum knows what models even start with the number 8. Still a mystery.

Me Too

My serial number is very similar. 8633108 and I had not been able to find anything, until now.
Someone suggested removing the neck and looking there. It says 1999 3 30, under that in bold
letters there is a 4 2 and under that it also in bold letters PS4. It's a transparent blue flame top
with black hardware 12 fret dots close together and tuning keys on the bottom side of headstock.
Someone said that all performers with the dots closer together on the 12th fret are Japanese
but I have not confirmed that. I hope this helps. If you find any further info on these, I am interested.

Jackson identify

jackson

hi you have a 1996 jackson dr5. dr means dinky reverse. however you are mistaken on the scale. it is 25.5. no dinky were 24.75 and no fusions 24.75 guitars were reverse head stocks. if you go to the jackson website and look at the catalog scans for 1996 you can find your guitar.

Jackson Soloist SL1 unusual Serial number

I have just acquired another Jackson soloist SL1 (my 4th!)

I am puzzled by the serial number stamped on the neck in the usual place.

The SN is J1070x (last number replaced by x). I have only seen SNs with J followed by 4 numbers, not 5. It is definitely an early neck through SL1, has a Floyd Rose and 3 Seymour Duncans, HSS.

Can anyone explain the unusual SN, and maybe provide a date?

Neck Plate # 1022

I have neck plate # 1022, From what I gather, it's one of 504 bolt on neck custom shop orders that were actually made in San Dimas. The neck plate numbers are from 1001-1505, I have the 21'st on made I believe (Neck plate 1022), This is the lowest neck plate number that I have seen on here, is that correct?

Jackson guitar.

My Jackson guitar have serial number: CWJ1313965. What is this? Help please!

Info on where my guitar was made.

I had a King V made for me in 1986. It is serial # J1777. I was wondering where it was made and by whom. I've kept this guitar for 30 years. It came with a Kahler tremolo (which I requested) that hasn't let me down in all this time. I've had to have the original J-50's replaced due to sweat and road wear, but this guitar will not go out of tune for anything. It cost around $1700 at the time, but it is the most reliable instrument I've ever owned, and it's going to my son upon my demise. Thanks for any info on the builder you can give me.

Rotten Ron

all 1986 jacksons were USA

all 1986 jacksons were USA made in the ontario california custom shop. bolt ons however would still say san dimas california as the neck plates were still in use after the move to ontario for a few years until they ran out.

If the guitar is close to mint condition, it is worth at least $599
