    WTF ? When did Jackson USA start F'ing Up the 12th Fret Dots ???

    The 12th fret tight dot spacing on USA Charvel/Jackson guitars has always been something that could be used for help with identification. What the hell is this ?

      What a great colour.
      96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

          They used that dot spacing on the old Archtops.

                Yes! AN LP style toggle would have been much better. Great colour and the dots are fine to me.

                  The dots are correct. You sure you're not going by the wider Performer dots?

                    Since you posted this thread I've read your OP a few times... and have been confused.

                    The 12th dot fret markers are fine. It's the 24th fret dots that are non-standard. Maybe that's giving you the illusion that the 12th fret dots might appear wider...

                      No, they are definitely spaced out wider than the norm for a USA Jackson. It's not huge but when you've been so used to looking at literally thousands of these things for 20+ years, it's pretty obvious.

                        I suspect it's at least partially the angle of the pic.

                        And I love that color, too.
