LucSulla Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I bought this guitar mainly as something fun for the stage show, and, well... For the stuff I'm doing at home, I don't really have a lot of use for a one-pickup shredder. I'm not sure if anyone here would be all that interested in one either, but I figured I'd list it here. I'd knock it down to $SOLD shipped for a regularly posting HFCer. We can do Venmo, Paypal, or something similar. Deets are here:https://reverb.com/item/34482437-jackson-dinky-custom-1987-graphic?publish_confirmation=true
diablo175 Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Curses and damnation. I'd snap that up in a heartbeat were it not for the single p'up. Sure, reverse head stock and 24 frets would help, too... but that graphic is so cool! <sigh>🙁 GLWTS!

I ripped the active boost circuit out of my Charvel 650xl years ago. I’d vote that knob be the one to go...
LucSulla Posted July 3, 2020 Author Posted July 3, 2020 It’s a cool guitar, but I have two other Jacksons that I use for all kinds of stuff. This one mostly hangs on the wall and gets pointed at while I’m saying, “Oh yeah, that one is really cool!”

LucSulla Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 That went quickly. Look for it at probably a huge mark-up at Diablo Guitars in the near future, haha.
LucSulla Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 Oh shit, I sold it to the current guitarist of Queensryche.

LucSulla Posted July 4, 2020 Author Posted July 4, 2020 Yeah, no shit! He's the guy that runs the Diablo Guitar's Axes of Evil shop on Reverb. Made a little money I think and got a fun story out of it. The Gods of GAS are pleased.

velorush Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I must point out: that, sir, was an excellently written Reverb ad. Nicely done.

I see at least one typo, which is good for me. I'm an awful proofreader, particularly on a computer screen. It should be "start squealing." Generally, I think you sell faster and for more when you try to give as detailed a description as possible, especially with older instruments. First, it's great to know what you're getting exactly and that the person selling it actually seems to give a damn about what he is selling, and second, specific claims are easily falsified by the purchaser. Generally, I feel like if someone is going to list a bunch of details they are less likely to be running some kind of a scam because it would be so easy to prove the seller had lied.
devrock Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Now THAT is a sweet-ass Dinky!! I have an early 90’s custom with the Dan Lawrence lightning paint job (and I have a matching BCR Gunslinger! WOOT!). I was thinking of selling it recently, but I picked it up for the first time in a long time, and that guitar is just about as perfect as they get. SO comfortable.

stonge Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 how did you get the maple fingerboard that clean? I have a Charvel USA style 2, and the fingerboard turns grey if you think about playing it lol.

It's still not new, but it looks a helluvalot better than it did. It looks like a very well cared for 33-year-old maple neck rather than swamp thing. To be honest, I could give a damn about that guitar, but I'll miss that neck. It was really nice.

Good luck to him.

That graphic kicks ass, add picture documentation and you have the complete fan wall hanger with picture!! Audio too!!
