25.5 Inch KV2T Serial numbers

[DyersEve]

U13085. I am amazed you still have records of the ones you sold! Open Sperzels here.

I had thought the first batch of them (25) were accidentally made to 25.5" scale, but there's been no verification that I know as to how many exactly. I owned 2 at that scale length a vintage white one serial U13157 and a black ghost flames one serial U13085.

I thought all of the newer Jacksons had scarf joints, even with the three-piece mahogany necks. Mark Morton model has it that way, too.

Just checked mine under bright light no scarf. Very interesting. I wish the guy woulda left the hang tag in it. Been cool to see who signed off on it.

I keep records of them for insurance purposes. How's the guitar doing? That was a killer KV!

That guitar is a dream! I took out the JB in the bridge for a Duncan Distortion and it rips. The neck has meat to it and the frets are huge. So huge I will have it plecked next year. I just had a Dean plecked and the results were phenomenal. This KV is one of my guitars I will not depart with. I had a KV2 snow white with black bevels and sold it. Never bonded with the floyd. String thru from now on for me. Selling anything soon let me know.

FYI mine is U13083...open back Sperzels. I have no way of telling if its a scarf joint or not. I was told it was a 3 piece neck. Dated 10-1-03.


Edit: On closer inspection I found two VERY faint seams on the headstock. I'm convinced now that there is no scarf.

I don't know how the numbers run on those models. I thought Randy Davis (RD) had one of the 25.5" models and I seem to remember him also saying someone at the factory told him there were only about a dozen made, but I'm not totally sure.

You would be correct. The first 12 guitars that Mike Shannon built for the KV2T series were 25.5 Scale, after that... 24 3/4 scale. I was lucky enough to have one. Another member bought Cannella's Black one.. a member here wound up with mine. All had seriel # U13XXX -U15XXX numbers. As they were built by hand by Mike Shannon

They had huge fat cock necks...

Awesome. So everyone is pretty certain that only 12 exist? man. i feel even more lucky now. I mean a random buy from CT Guitar center turned out to be one.. Pretty awesome..

Get The Whole Guitar In The Shot.

Reminds me of this time newc took all this time and effort and took about 14 or 15 amazing shots of this guitar he was trying to sell. There was not one single picture of what the guitar really looked like.

[Corpsegrinder88]

LOL Crazy this wasn't to long after i joined up and started my Jackson quest of hoarding.

Im sure the other 4 have turned up in a year and halfs time. but anyone have some more info?
