NGD Preview: Jackson DK2M Burnt Orange Quilt

[technomancer]

Just some teaser pics of a guitar that's on the way to me. Unfortunately it won't be here until December 2nd

I've got a set of BKP Warpigs I got a good deal on sitting here waiting for it

nice.. would be killa if it had red inlays.

 

[technomancer]

nice.. would be killa if it had red inlays.

Yeah it would look absolutely amazing with matching inlays ala the Ibanez RG770DXs

 

[Wi77iam]

haha yeah, RG770DX's are pretty sexy, i scored a beater one in laser blue for $300 AUD. though it came with everything but the middle and bridge pickups.

 

[Xtremevillan]

Agreed @ inlays. Any chance you can do a project and dye'em red? Normally I don't care about inlays, but something about the body, headstock, inlays = yes!

 

[technomancer]

Nah that would definitely not work... you can't really dye black. I'm not sure how Jackson does those inlays either. I'll have to look at them and see, maybe if I really love the guitar I'll have a local shop replace them, though that's probably a bit much to spend on a fairly cheap import bolt on.

Nice, I've got one in trans blue, it's my favorite guitar. Of course, it's also the most expensive guitar I own, so I guess my standards are a little different from yours

 

[Xtremevillan]

tell us what kind of neck; is it block heel or curved or somethihng

 

[shadowlife]

Very nice. Those are great guitars. I had a DK2M in the blue bengal finish, but i just didn't care for the neck profile.

 

[SnowfaLL]

nice. I cant wait for Elysian to finish the neck for my DK2 body.. its gonna be badass!

I havent tried the DK2M itself out yet, but I'll have something quite similar hopefully soon =]

I have no pictures of mine, but a quick google image search reveals:

Access is quite good, about the same as the AANJ on my RG7321, I'd say. (although overall, the neck on the DK2M is WAY better than the RG7321 neck)

 

[technomancer]

I'm hoping the neck profile on this is somewhat similar to a six string version of the profile on the COW7, as I really liked that quite a bit

 

[Xtremevillan]

Hmmm...that looks like a block combined with a sculpt, kinda like a universe thing.

 

[killiansguitar]

nice.. would be killa if it had no inlays at all.

Corrected.


This guy that i jam with occasionally has one of those DK2Ms. I was actually really surprised how nice it played for how much they are and what they are. Judging from the pictures, thats a sexy ass red color too. Nice score!

 

[technomancer]

Yeah that burnt orange quilt with the maple was just too hot to pass up... I can't wait to get it, but unfortunately UPS takes FOREVER coming out of Washington state. It's like they use freaking donkeys or something

 

[Harry]

Love the Pro Series Dinky.
Well made instruments, but I've never played the maple board versions.
Looks badass

 

[SnowfaLL]

Its a shame they dont make Maple fretboarded SLSMG's.. that would be the ultimate guitar, with a quilt top =]

 

[budda]

the maple fretboard is win, good sir.

 

[awesomeaustin]

I love the maple boarded Jackson's

 

[Shawn]

I love that maple fretboard.

Nice score, Steve!
