  10. I'm not sure about my Jackson.
    Rik

    I bought a Jackson guitar used about 4 years ago.
    It has 24 frets, 2 Duncan Design pickups, and a Floyd Rose floating bridge. According to the person that sold it to me, it has an "active pickup"… there are 3 knobs, a 3 setting pickup switch, and another little switch that I’m assuming is used to turn on the active pickup? That’s pretty much everything I know about it.
    Serial number is 9695527… can anyone help?
    Thanks!

          Anonymous

          your very vague and no pic’s no info on equip such as pickup’s is all equip original you say Kahler …. Kahler I’m gonna go out on a limb and gyess your referring to a tremolo although they manufacture quite a few other’s as well (ie) bridge, locking nut’s and string tree’s I’ve personally never seen a set but I’ve heard there was a run of tuner’s as well but like I said your just to vague for me to even give you a remotely ball park figure a model would help narrow it down such as a SL1,Slatfxqmg 3-8; SL2H, and a dozen other’s. Condition play’s into the picture as well but I would say between $200.00 and $600.00 again specific’s would be helpful and again it’s worth what someone is willing to pay for it on that paticular day. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful……………..

          Anonymous

          I also am thinking of getting one with a 010 starting #, which I’ve read means they are made in India. However, I heard that some Korean models also have this 8 digit serial number starting with 01? How can I tell the difference between these? Also the head on mine doesn’t look like any of the models supposedly made in India. Any help? Can post/send pic if needed.

  38. Never seen another Jackson like mine EVER is it real?
    Leon Blair

    I bought my Jackson in 2002 and I’ve never seen one like it before, I’m starting to wonder if it’s maybe a fake or something, but I bought it from Main Street Music Victoria Australia, which is now a Billy Hyde music and my dads mate owned the store so I’m really hoping I didn’t get ripped off. Anyway, the serial code is J 019601

    Any information would be great as I’m trying to sell it

    1. Re: Never seen another Jackson like mine EVER is it real?
      Derek

      That is a legit serial number made in 1990. That serial number is for a neck-through model, if yours is a bolt on it is a forgery. if it is neck-through then it is probably a legit 1990 import jackson. If you send me a picture i can probably give you more info.
