Jackson USA Dinky

1988 Build

Copper Head Graphic

Reverse Maple Neck

Original Jackson Case

All Original

This is a true survivor piece it is very clean with a super rare combination of graphic and a reverse MAPLE neck.  Look around there are not many early Jackson examples with maple necks, especially ones with a killer graphic.  This one is an exceptional player with a perfect neck, great electronics and the original case.  She has a nice wide range of tones that will leave any player pleased.  That stated I would be surprised if your buying this guitar to play and dont plan to shred on her.  That is truly what she was built for and she does so with ease.

The neck is very much like the early 80s San Dimas oiled necks.  It feels very much like my 85 Charvel in terms to contour and texture.  This is much of what is sought after in the early San Dimas pieces, and this axe though a pinch newer lives up to those expectations.

There are 4 blemishes of note on this guitar and they are the only ones I can find.  Those the body are located one on the side contour and one on the rear edge.  They are in the pics and are rather un remarkable but I have close ups if you want them.  They had been touched up and really unless your less than a foot away and looking for them you'll never know they are there.  The other 2 are on the neck.  One is pictured in the last shot, its a small split coming off the E tuner screw.  It was never cracked through just a dry spilt from age.  The neck was injected with a needle and glue and clamped, I promise its tougher than new and unless again your searching, you would never know.  The second is the traditional Jackson headstock chip but its on the rear of the headstock and does not effect the appearance from the front, it is pictured in the full headstock shot.  All of these blems are miniscule at best and I am pretty critical.  The guitar plays 100% fine, has no buzz and would easily be a number one in my set.  I just wanted to go into detail as this is a cool piece and I want you to know everything before making a purchase.

I have high res pics of this axe, IF you want them send me an email I will gladly share them as well as close ups of the blems.  This truly is a super clean axe and looks better than the pictures and is better than I am nit-picking.  I want you to be happy with your purchase so help me help you.  Want more pics?  Not a problem, want a sound clip? I can do so, want to come see it in person!  Cmon over.  Buying a new axe should be a fun experience so help me make it the best I can for you.
