Jackson Guitar

Hi, I saw your post and wondered if you found any info on your guitar, I just picked up a nice Amber Burst colored Jackson and I've been able to determine it is a DK. It has Duncan pickups like yours (2 single and 1 HB) mine has the licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with shark fin inlays on the rose fingerboard, the back of the neck is Maple. All my hardware is black and I am trying to figure out where it was made, hopefully Japan. The build quality seems very good to me, just as good as my American Strat and PRS SE (made in Korea) , I took the neck off but it does not give a clear indication of anything, a Possible date could be cut off that is 10-5-10, not clearly legible, it does say DK2, also 6-2 on the neck and 5-1 and ASB on the body. I was just wondering if you found out any other info on yours, thanks.

New Bass

Just picked up a beautiful Jackson C-5A 5 string, the A standing for Ash wood for the body. The serial number, 030150, is stamped into the last fret. I've had many Jacksons, but never this model. It seems to be a Concert body, 3 band EQ with Master and Sweep, and Duncan Designed soap bars. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

The A stands for active.

The A stands for active. There is also a C5P for passive. I've had both. Nice basses. Made in Japan

re: Jackson C5A Bass

Hi, with so many requests to id personal guitars I figured I would stop and help out a little if I can. First, your bass is from 2003 (which is funny because you will not find it in the 2003 catalog?). Of coarse this is not the first time I have seen this probably due to late catalogs or ending production early in the year. Anyway, you are correct in it's resemblance to the Concert Series as the "C" signifies exactly that. But, the "A" is a little less obvious. Actually, the standard C5A has an Alder Body. In most cases the last letter refers to the the pick up configuration (more on that later). HOWEVER, if I remember right it was the solid colors that had the Alder body. And if your guitar happens to have a transparent 'Red' finish the body is indeed "ASH". On the other hand if your guitar has the transparent "Tobacco Sunburst" finish it is made of Mahogany. All of which included a Maple Bolt on neck and Rosewood board.

With that said, the other basses in the Concert series included the C20 (for all I know it could have been 20 degrees Celsius outside that day?), C5MJ & the CMG. Now the C5MJ came with a Duncan Design MM100 & a JB102N, hence the "MJ". While the CMG came with EMGHZ's of coarse. As for your C5A? Well as you know it also has Duncan Design's but instead they used SB101's in both the bridge & neck positions. While the C20 also lacked the EQ system it came with Jackson J100 pick ups. And last but not least, if my memory is 'part' what it used to be the C20 is made in India and the C4A/C5A, C5MJ & CMG were made in Japan. Please do not sacrifice me to the wolves if any info isn't 110% accurate because my memory isn't quite what it used to be. Still my Passion for Charvel/Jackson helps to keep this type of information accurate, besides I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried! I wish I had time to help everyone out but it would be a full time job and God knows I do not need another one of them! Hope this helps, Paul "Keep the Bloodline Alive!"

jackson san dimas???

hi, i had recently purchased a body that is clearly a charvel or jackson san dimas style. i am pretty educated on the 80s model charvels as i am a die hard charvel fan, which is the reason i bought the body even though something seemed peculiar or "off" about it. i own a charvel model 1,2, and 3 and have done comparisons with this unknown body against all 3 of mine. So heres where things get peculiar.

1) it is like a model 2 except the fact that it has a single coil rout tilted at an angle in the neck position ( kinda triangular shaped instead of parallel along the straight edges)and none of the model series ever had a tilted single coil pup ( as far as model 1 or 2 anyways),,,which i should also state that it has the san dimas / model1/model 2 style "smaller" triangular cavity cover plate, so this would rule out model 3 and later charvel guitars as well as charvette (which were equipped with the larger teardrop shaped cavity control covers.)

2) it was equipped with a kahler tremolo that has the wider stud spacing than the one on my model 2. it is the same exact spacing as an original floyd rose as i have a schaller floyd that i am going to put on it. ( the reason i know its a kahler is the fact that the holes where the body inserts go are the same exact "larger" size as the inserts on my model 2 which is a kahler as well)

3) the tremolo rout on the back of the guitar is recessed so that the plate sits flush with the body unlike my model 1 2 or 3 where the plate actually sits on top of the surface.

the only numbers on the body are located on the back inside the trem routing...it is a 4 digit number that has been stamped with white ink/paint. i recently stumbled across an 85/86 usa jackson san dimas picture on the internet (has rising sun paint job on it) and it is an exact match to the details i described except that it has a floyd rose on it.
i have searched aimlessly for months now trying to find the end to my madness of this unknown guitar, so any info would greatly be appreciated.

Me too!!

Did you ever find the end to your search?? I have had this same exact body for some years now. You described my body exactly! I too have been searching aimlessly. ( even had seen the same rising sun San dimas that you mentioned)
I have the four digits also stamped in white ink.
Wish I knew how to share at picture with you just for show and tell.
Anyway,, I would absolutely love to hear what you found out about yours. Then I can put a rest to my madness that I have carried for the last six years.

Help with Jackson guitar ID

Hi,

i bought this guitar new in Australia in 1993. serial number is 927599.
normal orientation headstock with saying Professional
Pickups, Hum, single, Hum
Jackson Floyd licensed locking Tremelo
colour White
Bolt on neck
1 x volume know
1 x 5 way switch.
I know its Japanese but can't remember what model. i know it says professional but i kind of remember Dinky's saying that also back then, also can't remember what it is made from.

I have a similar issue

I have a Jackson I bought secondhand in 2002. It is a bolt on. Tobacco burst woodgrain body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard.
The serial number is 926168. ( on neckplate on back of body).
2 x Humbuckers 1 vol, 1 tone, and a 3 way switch.
"Jackson" licensed floyd rose w "takeuchi" inertia plate made in japan.
The word "professional" on headstock.
I'd like to know when it was produced, I have another exactly the same bar from the grain in the wood.
Wherever I check online, I draw a blank on this. Hope someone out there can help. :)

Jackson RR24M

Hey, can you please help me identify my guitar? So I bought this black Jackson RR24M( the M stands for maple fretboard ) from a pawn shop and I was wondering if you guys can if anyone can give me some info about it. So, from what I know these types of guitars were made in the 2008's and are not made anymore. It has one EMG 81 pickup, one volume knob, Floyd Rose FRTO 2000 I guess ( it doesn't say anything about it, just plain Floyd Rose, but that's what I found when I searched for it ), 24 jumbo frets and on the 25 fret I have this code 082481. I bought it for like 400$, and I want to confirm the fact that it was a steal.
