I noticed some new bolt on pro series charvels and dinkies were made in korea recently. hopefully that's the WMI factory. they've been putting out solid guitars for a few decades now. still overpriced these days though.

Yeah, I have a Bc rich from there it's better then their USA stuff
IMO of having one of each. I don't think of things like oh, you must've got a good or bad one. I'm +1 with you on that MH
I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.
Let me take that good one bad one back, I did own a USA KV2 with 23 frets and it was serialized! So, some stuff gets past QC when they are smokin' thee bowl
Hello and sorry if this is the wrong spot to post. I’m trying to find some information on a guitar that came up for sale. I couldn’t find anything on the Jackson website such as a vault for example of old models. does the guitar in this url seem legit? Thanks in advance for any information either way.
it's a 2017, not 2018.
and I don't know when/if they stopped making the 3 bolts with off-center dots
but other than that... what do you think is wrong with it?
Thanks for the quick reply. I don’t have much experience with Jackson (yet, hopefully) but I thought there would have been a metal plate covering the 3 bolts on the back of the neck.
Just that and typing the serial number in didn’t give me any info. More or less just somewhat nervous I guess about buying a guitar online through a private sale that I can’t view in person first. I’m gonna pull the trigger though. It seems to be exactly what I’ve been searching for.
Only 4-bolt, square-shaped joints received neckplates.
Even then, a few 4-bolt joints didn't have neckplates. For example, the earliest KE3 guitars (1996 until a date I have been unable to determine) did not have neckplates, but gained neckplates again at some point; my 2009 KE3 has one. The current 4-bolt joint on some of the Charvel DK24s are rounded and don't have neckplates either.
Everything looks fine for your 2017 Mexican DK2.
Fortunately, the Fender-style serial numbers on these recent Jacksons and Charvels makes it easy to determine the manufacturing date and country of origin. MX = Mexico, J = Jackson, 17 = 2017.
Thank you for this detailed response. Having the neck plate issue settled I feel much better about the purchase. Also thanks for this quick and easy way to read the serial number too. Much appreciated you guys.
