My guitar

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me find out what guitar my Jackson is and how much is it worth if selling?
Serial number is : 9656045 and it is made in Japan. Thats all I know..

[Reinkaos]

So it's an RR4. Thanks a lot.

[Mudlark]

The RR3 has a different tremolo.
Therefore, assuming the trem, chrome hardware, and neck haven't been switched, it's a '96 RR4.

[Reinkaos]

So, probably an RR4 from 1996? Thanks a lot guys. Found this, looks a lot like that RR3: http://img.audiofanzine.com/image.ph...oduct_id=83090

Seems the RR4 did come with chrome hardware as well as black.

Looks like an RR4.

Also, sorry for the double post, would edit, but I'm waiting for the post approval.

The painting is not original.

That number indicates 1996, Japan. Sounds like an RR3, maybe RR4? Not sure if they were available with a chrome tremolo, though.

Any pics? You first need to load them on photobucket, tinypic or a similar site and then copy the link here.

I have a MIJ Rhandy Rodes model, serial 603224. Chrome floyd rose, professional series. There's a single volume controller. Having a hard time identifying the year and other guitars with this specs.

Dinkelberg96, that's a JS32R Dinky.
NewHewkas, good luck getting a simple reply let alone any useable info from customer relations. They're practically useless from my experiences. It's worth a try, though.

[NewHewkas]

The 2007 part is correct, but I'm unaware of any way to decipher month and day from those numbers...it may be possible, maybe not.

Thank you, I think I will write to Jackson's support maybe they could tell me more.

Gonna' need a pic or detailed description. Number of frets, dot or sharkfin inlays, tremolo or string thru body, Floyd Rose or vintage style trem? If you post a pic, you first need to post them on a photo sharing site such as tinypic or photobucket etc. and then copy the links here.
I'd guess it's either a JS1R, JS22R or JS32RT.
The number is definitely made in India, 2010. But, unless you got it new, it may have a different neck/neck plate/serial number.

Here's a picture. Chrome Jackson rose, sharkfin fret inlays as well.

I have no clue how to identify my model. It's a dinky with a reverse headstock. The plate on the back of the neck lists "NHJ1020778". Any help would be appreciated.

[Dinkelberg96]

Made in India in 2010. Either X Series or JS Series. Perhaps if you post a pic, or tell us what pickups and bridge it has, or just compare yours with Dinkys on the Jackson website you should be able to identify your model.
