Re: Jackson Performer series PS

I just purchased a Rhoads Performer for $210 w/hsc (in like new cond). Is it a good deal? I called Guitar Center first before I bid on it and they said it was a bargain. My other Jackson is a DK-2 so I was a little leary of the price but I couldn't resist THE POWER OF THE V! I'm waiting for it to come via fedex tomorrow.

Re: Jackson Performer series PS

thanks
to 1. i thought it may be related to the production country?
my two japan kellys don´t have it and i saw a korean that has it
could that be a general rule?
also maybe it´s related to the production year/period
to 2. where can i find out then when wich serial# was crafted (something similar to the serial chart for usa jacksons on the board?)

Re: Jackson Performer series PS

I've owned two performer Dinky's over the years, and in all honesty, they were the worst Jacksons I've ever owned. The necks kept warping to the point to where they were too much of a pain in the ass to keep around. I'd seriously consider paying the extra to get a post-Performer import Jackson because those are so much better.

Re: Jackson Performer series PS

you´re right, they´re not all the same
one of my PS6Ts (the black one) is crafted very well it looks and feels exreme good (unfortunately it has a hit near the volpot)
whereas the metallic blue one seems to be built/finished in a shorter time with less attention
anyhow i wouldn´t say they´re crap, they´re very fine guitars for the money
of course the´re nothing compared to my ke2(but even this one could be better if they really wanted)
