  • DK2S

    Anybody here have a DK2S? Same as the DK2 but with a Sustainiac pickup system on it. www.sustainiac.com I was going to buy a DK2 but the black cherry model DK2S was on sale for $399 from zzounds.com and americanmusical.com. Kind of like getting an extra feature thrown in for free.

    Strangely enough, the image of the dk2s on those sites look more like a dark red rather than 'black cherry'. I was looking at another siteand it showed a straight up purple koolaid guitar and called it 'black cherry'. The color chart from jackson shows a very black looking color with a slight burgundy hue to it.

    Anyhoo, if it does turn out to be jolly rancher grape, I guess I could always bust out some krylon!

    I have one in violet metallic that's a cool purple color. The black cherry is like a really dark reddish purple color. Here's a link that's pretty much exactly the color of the one's I've seen. http://www.accessguitar.com/inventory/jackson/ps4.html

    Based on what I've seen I don't think they offer that color on the current models.(Hence the good price!)

    Good luck with your new axe!!

      By the way...if you REALLY want to get confused, here's another link in the same color.

      Very confusing to say the least. The first link I posted is much closer to what you'll get than this one (Which is the US version of the color)

      Hope this helps...

        Yep, that helps a lot actually. Now, I'm wondering how this guitar would look in light colors. I've run into some info on refinishing a guitar and found a place that stocks colors from fender guitars... Daphne Blue DK2! Seafoam Green! hehe. Might not go with the black pickups and headstock though. What do you think?

            I think I'm going to go with Vintage Cream. Maybe throw a custom black pickguard on there. Personally I think it'd look *****in.

All I'd need are some black upside crosses with 'Fender' on it. ha.

                What would you say is the closest to the actual color? The zzound and americanmusical websites show what looks like a transparent red or dark red version.

                    I have an '87 Charvel Model 6 in black cherry. It looks pretty much like the first pic in the right light.
