NGD my first USA

[AIC70]

My first USA Jackson. Found this on GC used site last week. 1987, four digit (17xx) bolt-on strat. Or is it a Dinky? - has rounded edges like a Model series. Single hum (Duncan TB12), dirty maple fret board, quartersawn, oiled, maple neck (I think) and a Kahler. Just needs a major cleaning and set up. Except for the Duncan - taped up wiring - it looks completely stock. The brass (copper?) lining inside the control route looks cut a little sloppy. Neck pocket says "Bo McDonald" and the date 3-6-87. Did I get fooled or do you think it's legit? I only ask because I've never heard the BM name mentioned before and it sure looks an awful lot like my Model 2 (except for the shape of the control route). Nor have I seen many for that price, but maybe only because it's a Kahler?

Awesome score bro and HNGD!!!!

Cool, yeah that's a strat. It's hard to see but looks like the work orders are off by one digit? Weird. Other than that wiring it looks pretty tight.

Axe ive opened up a few like that over the years that i was fairly damn certain were correct. I had a charvel with sharkies like that from the end of the run and I had one of the graphic guitars that had the graphic listed on the neck as well that was 2 numbers off; all I can figure is maybe the neck got damaged during the build so another was constructed?

[AIC70]

Thanks guys! Axe - you're right. Neck says 0204 and trem pocket says 0203. Go figure. Will Jackson still look up work orders or is 1987 too far back?

Nice looks legit to me. Does it have a cap on the headstock or is it painted. And Jackson won't verify serials or wo# s anymore.

Sorry DonBo! Fiddee would make me tired too.

j2379 - Pretty sure it's a painted because the tip and a little before it were chipped. But I'll take a look when I get home.

Thanks for the replies!
