    Identification confirmation and some general advice

    Hello, I'm a bit lost in the world of jackson pro's..
    as I recon this guitar is a dinky Ar? Is this the same thing as an Archtop?
    What value would you guys give one of these? Serial number is 214122, does that mean it's made in 92 perhaps?
    Is there anything I should pay special attention to if I decide to try it out? Some of the parts more prone to wear and tear?
    Really.. any help would be just wonderful

    It's definitely a guitar.

      I don't think it's a 92. Is the serial number a sticker on the back of the head or on the neckplate? They sort of "reset" the serial scheme when they went to sticker serials; I've got a mid-90s neck with a J+6 serial sticker, which would normally have been a neckthrough serial number.
      I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

        That looks like a Performer model, not a Professional.
        Does it have an arched top? Can you get any close up pictures of the headstock and the Floyd Rose trem?

          These are the pictures available of this specific guitar at the moment:


          It clearly says "professional" on the headstock, I'd say we can rule out the possibilty of it being a Performer model?
          And as well.. to my untrained eye it looks really similiar if not exactly the same as the dinky ar in this scan from the '92 catalogue

          And regarding the whereabouts of the serial number I must admit I don't know where it is, but its described as being "...on the back of the guitar..."

            It should be on the neck plate.
            It's all about the blues-rock chatter.

              Yep, that's a professional alright.
              It was mostly the Performers (and a few Fusion Pro models) that had those offset dots.
              Unfortunately, my ID skills are limited at best when comes to archtop guitars.

              I'm with ya though. Looks like the Dinky AR Archtop Pro to me too.

                  They aren't his pics and the pic in the first post meets your requirements, Mr. Twitch.

                      Female, and so, he can request one with the whole female in the shot. By the look of the hand, sure, looks like she may be a more round female, but thats not necessarily a bad thing in my book, but Id have to see the whole female before I could make a yay or nay call. Sue me, Im a guy.

                          Judging by the nails, and the bracelet and the articulation of the thumb joint and the fair skin, relatively sure. Ok, so theres evidence even here on the board that that may not be the case, but lets not go there, dont want to offend anyone or get banned. Lets just assume it is a female until we get a whole shot of the female.
