    Pickups, Hum, single, Hum
    Jackson Floyd licensed locking Tremelo
    colour White
    Bolt on neck

    1 x 5 way switch.

    1. I have a similar issue
      Marty Pine

      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. 🙂

  4. Jackson RR24M
    Mihai Robert

    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.

      Can’t determine model with a serial. Sounds like you may have a DX10D or DXMG from 2001-2. Remove the neck and check the date/model stamps in the pocket.

      That’d be a ’96-’98 model depending on the model. Models can’t be determined with a serial. Performer, Concept or Professional logo on the headstock?

      NHJ09xxxxx is 2009 India, but NHJA is odd. Probably a JS series. JS32, JS30, JS22 etc. Body shape? Dot inlays or shark fin? Number frets/pups/knobs? Floyd or string thru? Reverse or standard headstock?
