Hi all, I'm looking for some help dating my Jackson Kelly Pro. Serial number is J011347, stickered on the back of the headstock. Blank truss rod cover, no neck plate. The neck and the neck pocket are stamped "KE 4", so I'm assuming it's a KE4 which was made from '95 to '98? Any help is appreciated!

There's no way to decode those stickers that I'm aware of. Those early date stamps don't say much either. Those stickers were a mid-'90s thing, and KE4's were introduced in '96, so it's probably from late-'95 to '96-7 somewhere. I'm pretty sure those stickers didn't go past '95-'96, but I can't be sure.

[Mudlark]

Sure, post them here.

hello.

Hello. Sorry for the late reply, but I missed your post somehow.
That is indeed a Japanese made DK2T...don't often see the string thru models. The serial indicates '06-'07, but if you're curious, you'll find date stamps on the neck/neck pocket if you remove the neck.

Hi, I purchased an RR5 pro

Yes, that's a 2004 Japanese made RR5. Japanese production stopped in late 2011 and the recent RR5 is made in Indonesia.

Hello, all!

Yup, 2010 JS32RT made in India. Indian cedro body if I'm not mistaken.

Looks like a JS32RT to me. 2010 sounds about right.

I googled that model and it looks correct. Thanks for the assist!

[rjohnstone]

Yep... JS32RT... I have the exact same guitar.
Picked it up at a pawnshop for $100.
Great guitar... crappy pickups.

Dinky88 that does indeed look like a DK2T from 2006 or later. Trans blue finish, JB/jazz.

Hello, all!

I'm trying to get some more information on my Dinky reverse. The serial number on the plate is NHJ1023506

I take that to mean it's a 2010, made in India version, but I'm unsure of the exact model. Can anyone here help?

Thanks!

Hi, I purchased an RR5 pro as seen on picture. Serial number is 040938. It's a 2004 then? I thought they only made RR5 pro later that decade.

hello.

Im currently looking at buying a jackson dinky via out local classifieds (South Africa)
The seller does not know much about the guitar and the images ive got from the guitar are pretty low quality.

Im thinking that this is a jackson dk2t but im not 100% sure, if anyone can give me some more info based on the serial and photos it would be great.

The serial is 9780565
It has two SD pups, Ill assume they are a JB and Jazz.
some images. bad bad quality.

Can't determine the model with a serial. A pic is most useful, but I'll give it a shot.
Chrome hardware or black?
Body shape...Strat?
Reverse headstock or standard?

My initial guess would be a 2002-3 DK2.
As mentioned, the model and date are stamped on the neck heel/pocket on most Japanese models.

Wow - Sorry for lack of pic, but I guess none is needed, as the pic shown above is EXACTLY the guitar in question. Yep, strat style body, chrome hardware, standard headstock. Thanks so much!

Hey, I've just had a load of assistance from the guys to identify a model for me. The for sure recommendation is to remove the neck and check the stamp within the neck pocket on the body and on the neck itself. This worked for me on a now known MIJ DXMG. Hope that helps. If not, the guys may be able to help if you provide a pic. They really know their Jacksons!
