    NGD 1990 Dinky Archtop Custom #7453

    Well, not the biggest fan of bolt-on's - all my guitars are neck-thru, and I like painted guitars and graphics - not really into transparent finishes, and I don't care for chrome trim, and I prefer ebony boards over rosewood......so when I stumbled across this I HAD TO HAVE IT . Really is pretty cool though: thick maple cap over mahogany, really nice rosewood board, and I really like the archtop and binding. Pickups are 59 bridge / duckbucker middle / little 59 neck. Very Les Paul-ish sounding. Came with a Jackson badged case and the aluminum trem cover - not shown in pix. Interesting stuff - last two digits of the WO number in the truss rod cavity, and the narrow binding around the neck pocket. Fun guitar so far - just tonally different enough from my other Jacksons that so it fits in well. For a while anyway .

        It's a Dinky, so it's 25.5" scale, and they can be 22 or 24 frets. Fusions are 24 & 3/4" scale, but I'm pretty sure they're only 24 frets.

          Love it. Is the rosewood really light or is it just the pictures? I'd hit it with a nice shot of lemon oil to see if that darkens it up a bit.

                    That is beautiful. Jackson should do more bound flametop bodies, absolutely love that.

                      The rosewood is on the lighter side for sure.....and this is after oiling the board. At least from my perspective, both a light or darker board would work with the maple and mahogany.

                        The neck pocket tells the story there. Now that's a maple cap! Very Nice!!

                            With that cap on the mahogany body......I no longer need my gym membership. I just play this for an hour a day instead.
