Can anyone tell me what year and where it was made?
Guys. I purchased a Jackson Performer and it came with a neck plate with the serial number 8633252. I haven’t seen anywhere online where any guitar from Jackson starts with the number 8. The serial number generator doesn’t come back with this number so anyone have an idea?

I have the 84th one made j0084 wonder how much it’s worth?
Hey, I really wonder when my guitar made.
Serial number is 1031643.
Thanks.
Made sometime in the mid to late 90’s at the Korean factory. All of the Korean Jackson Performers started with a 1. You can’t get an exact year out of the serial number. Just know that it was made in Korea in the 90’s because that’s when they were being produced. The Made In Japan Performers started with a 94 (the early models) or 96,97, and 98 possibly. Hope this helps.
I have a 2002 USA Soloist SL1 with Hot Rod Flames. (through body) Can’t quite figure out anything concerning the serial # U10779. None of the guides I have been able to check start with U1. The closest I can get is U0. I know 2002 was around when jackson was being sold and thing got a little weird concerning serial numbers. Or so a Jackson rep told me a few years back.
with serial number C600915

Hi ( SERIAL 9607496 ),
Please, I want to know information about this guitar and what is its worth (this has been saved without use, It’s almost new)?
Thanks
I can’t tell you what model it is from the serial number but
I can tell you it’s Japanese and that’s a good thing.
Look at the 2006 Jackson catalog to figure out which model it is.
With a 96 serial number it will be close to that model year.
Hope that helps. Reverb is a good indicator of value usually once you find the model of the guitar.
Be safe.

Hi,

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone knew roughly the value of a Jackson DK2 TR (Transparent Red finish) serial number 9696373 Japanese bolt on neck, please? It has Seymour Duncan pickups in 2 single coils and a pair from the direction of the neck to the Floyd Rose style locking trem.
Many thanks.
Chris
Check reverb for resale value. Take the average asking price and
Subtract 10-20% off of it.
Dk2’s are killer I’ve got 2. I paid 3-400$ each a couple of years ago but that’s a killer deal
They sell for 5-800$ depending on the market and condition.
Sometimes more. Hope that helps.
What about a Randy Roads model with this serial number 101091
ive got a “professional” model neck-thru serial number J101374 which is the closest ive seen to yours. its a standard jackson strat style body, one humbucker two single coils. its a deep green, almost black.
im trying to figure it out, from what i gather it could be a japanese made guitar from 1991 which could make sense, i read they only made professional neck thrus there from 90-92 i believe.
Your guitar serial number have the J in front of the 101091?
tough figuring this out, thought i had an american made all this time lol
maybe it is but i dont think so now
Can anyone help identify this Jackson? NHJ10002760
I just bought a Jackson Performer (PS4 – I think) Numbered on Back Plate 9615710. Can anyone tell me where it was Made (Japan I think) Year it was made and Approximate Value. I really like this Guitar so I plan to keep it, but my Son also likes it, Thank You, Samo
So, its a Jackson V serial number 002030 on the fingerboard. The only match to this number I can find says its a bolt on,…but is clearly not. Its one solid piece. Anyway, its silver, 24 frets with a floating bridge and Seymour Duncan pickups. I bought it used about 15 years ago.
Thanks
Usually 6 digit serial numbers are Japanese models made before 1997. The first number denotes the year 0=1990.
This doesn’t even look close to a typical Jackson serial number. I’m selling 9405559.. I don’t know what it’s worth. Someone made a rent payment with it.
Looking for information about this guitar which I purchased in 1990’s. It’s a bolt neck. White sparkle pick plate. Serial number on back of neck.
Hi guys,
I’ve been searching all over online and can’t find anything for my guitar to tell me what year it was made. The plate on the back says 210507 and it’s a Jackson Professional Dinky Reverse.
Thanks,
Susannah
1992 Chushin Gakki factory
This is all I can find on my guitar in which I am trying to find out what it is….Dinky what…??
Serial number: NHJ1048300
Production year: 2010
Production number: 48300
Factory: Harmony (India)
I just bought a Jackson V that has “Crafted in India” stamped into the back of the tuning head. It has a Jackson Floyd Rose Tremolo and the Pickups look like EMGs, but they say Jackson on them, and there is no where to put a battery so I’m sure they aren’t Active or EMGs. The tuning machines have (would you believe) stickers that say Jackson. It is not a bad looking guitar. It looks identical to a JS Series King V, except the cord jack is on the lower part of the “V” instead of the upper. I plugged it in in the pawn shop and there was no buzzing or bad feedback. Whoever owned it didn’t know how to adjust the floating tremolo to make it level and then set the string height and intonation. I plan on doing all of that before I pass judgement. The serial number is stamped into the metal neck plate and is NJHK08007329. I can’t find any information about this guitar anywhere. Anyone know anything about it?
Its JS20s
Serial number: 08007329 (eliminate the letters)
Production year: 2008
Model: JS20s

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.
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.
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® Professional. Reverse headstock. HH. 3way switch. 24.75″ scale. Serial number 605755. Takeuchi trem. Neck heel/body pocket both have markings D-5. Anyone know what I have?
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.
