its new
but its an old model i guess
dunno whether its a dinky or soloist

nothing dangling from the headstock
if my friends dad gives him n ok i'll inspect more on it =/
prob is i dunno what tremolo it is, im assuming its the JT580 cuz thats what jackson puts into their low end stuff?

its no archtop tho
so im thinking its a js serie soloist
dinkys usually are archtops right?

Hmm, has to be a Dinky since MIJ Soloist is actually neckthrough.

As for the trem, judging from the flametop, should be the JT580 which is the trem they use on their higher end MIJ stuff.

I have seen some lower end MIJ Jackson with some weird crummy looking trem.

icic
judging from the size im pretty sure its just a maple veneer
haha

the JT580 is used on their midrange stuff. their high end MIA range uses an OFR. the JT580 is somewhat a TRS design but ppl say they are better coz they use hardened steel unlike the TRS.

woot after playing around with google for awhile
i got the model

its a dx10d dinky

The JT580 is the exact same trem as the lo-trs.

They are made by Takeuchi. Yamaha also uses the same trem. Supposedly, it is quite a good trem. The baseplate is as hard as the Schallers Floyd.

It is the Lo-TRSII found on Korean RGs that suck really bad.

Hmm, this is the lower end MIJ Jackson line. Never did realized it came with the JT580 like the other higher end MIJ Jackson (Pro series). I will pass on this honestly. From what I remember, despite being MIJ, they feel really cheap and wasn't very well built.

well i dont use singer oil.
i got a small bottle of GHS GraphitAll.
the same stuff SRVs tech rene martinez puts on his guitars to prevent breakage etc.
works really well, plus it doesnt attract dust.

honestly speaking thats what i felt bout the body
its kinda light n thin =/
n call me spoiled or whatever
i dun like the bolt on neck


well its up to him anyway
tested it thru a mg50 [muddy i tell ya]

wanna ask smth bout slap guitar(acoustic) which ive been playing quite abit lately. when slapping with ur thumb, how do u get that nice fat thick tone? my tone is quite ok but i want one closer to a bassist's. and as for tapping, i notice my acoustic doesnt give a clear fundatmental note(as compared to tapping on an electric) but has lots of harmonics. any way to overcome this? i think in terms of playing i tap it hard enough already.

i use this on for my trem:
chapstick lip balm. its a waxy type grease. same thing used by Gary Brower on Joe Satriani's guitars.

I saw God yesterday...


Guitar, that is.

Hey.... need to ask a real Noob question here.....

How the heck do you string your guitars? All these years I've been doing mine VERY sloppy...... any tips anyone??

Sloppy? I've never encountered much problems with stringing throughout these 5 years lol... Pacifica, acoustic/classical and once a Les Paul, all were strung nicely. Or at least, to my standards.

errm in what ways sloppy? the strings not wound properly around the tuners or what?

yes it's super muddy if you go to bently and try the jackson there...I bought the same model and color for my brother..

it's a very nice starting guitar..but if you are you a player already i suggest you save up a little and get a better guitar or look for a nice 2nd hand deal....

but for starters it's a great guitar..it sounds good when it's distorted..didn't like the clean much...

i hope you realise that most superstrats will have light bodies.
nothing wrong with a good bolt-on neck also, look at nuno's N4

OMG HE WAS HERE?!??!?!?!!?
WHAT THE?!?!?!?!


oo they do???
bout the neck i find the shape really disturbing when reaching for the higher frets
uncomfortable thats all

Woooooooo. Don't know if it's my imagination, but after Restringing my guitar Zakk-style (ie: The strings wrap above the tail bar), I'm getting much better sustain from my LP!!!

I dunno if it works for all guitars, but for all you Les Paul users who is about to re-string their guitar, try wrapping it around the tailbar....

Nah... I was in Singapore. He said he is looking forward to coming back to Singapore next year. If he does, please make it a point to go down and watch him, you'ill be blown away.

Also, visiting Peninsular Plaza is a must.
