  • DK2M necks

    Hi all -

    I was looking at the DK2M, namely the blue one. How are the necks on these compared to say the Charvel's? I have several MIJ/USA Charvels and love the neck but would like a 24-fretter.

    Thanks

    Jeff

    I take it your talking about the older MIJ ones?

    I only had a short play of one several years ago in a store & it was nice. I have the MF run one with the reverse hs & ghost flames, I'm guessing the profile is the same. Slightly thinner than my DK2, extremely slick & fast.

    Good luck finding a nice one & a sensible price.


    EDIT: Since you said 'blue one', you must mean the mexi models. Can't help you there but i understand they are also quite good. I still stand by my comment about finding one though 😉

          Thanks for the information. Is there that much variability in these models then?

            I expect the FRT02000 trem on the MIM would be considered a step up from the older MIJ models with the JT580LP.
            The wrap around heel on the MIM would be a big difference from the neck joint on the MIJ also.
            I don't believe the MIJ had a graphite reinforced neck like the MIM, but I'd have to check to be sure.

            Can't comment on the necks. I expect they're both speed necks, but they may differ.
            96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

              Thanks because the specs online for the Jackson and the Charvel seem very similar but I doubt they are exact.
