The Serial Number Charts Refer to USA-made Jackson & Charvel instruments only. The below information was taken directly from Jackson Guitars website. On Neck-Thru Body Models: The serial number is stamped into the fingerboard at the last fret. On Bolt-On Neck Models: The serial number is stamped into the neck plate.

Models that are sold outside of the continental United States cannot be tracked using this serial number inquiry system. These models are shipped directly from the manufacturing plant to the distributor in your country and are not tracked here in the United States at Charvel. The history of these instruments are not known to Jackson since the were not shipped thru their facility and therefore cannot be tracked by Jackson's service staff in the United States. Please contact your country's distributor for more information regarding these instruments.

Jul 31, 2014  Update to FAQ: Serial numbers from Sunbane and an old JS30DK confirmed something I suspected for some time: The JS30DK/DKT/RR/KV/KE/WR series that was made for the 2005 catalog year had some guitars built in late 2004 (posts were made here on JCF in 11/2004).

They are here to help. Hello guys, I'm a long time reader but never said anything here, but now I need some help. I'm buying a new 'superstrat' guitar, and I'm looking at the 90's Japanese Jacksons and I've found these 3 which I don't know the exactly specs and years that they were made and I need your help to find this out.

Here are some pictures: This one the seller says is a Jackson Fusion Sx, with 2 EMG's 85, and it's clearly lacking one of the original saddles. The next one is a Jackson Dinky Reverse, with EMG's 81 and 85, but with a strange serial number. And this one the seller does not know anything about the guitar, and I don't know much either.

The serial number is 303674 he said. They are going to cost me something around 250-350 bucks. Sorry for my poor english, I'm a poor brazilian. The Fusion is correct, though it looks like the mini-toggle has been added. It is a 24 3/4' scale like a Les Paul (hence the name Fusion - it's a fusion between a Strat (body) and a Les Paul (scale length). The Dinky Reverse is from early 1996.

The first number of a 6-digit serial on a neck plate, when no letters are present, is the year it was made. In the later half of 1996, they changed all neck-plate serial numbers to the '96' format, where the numbering of all serial numbers was 96xxxxx. The last one is a GroverJackson model, which was intended for sale in the Japanese-domestic and Asian markets (Japan, Taiwan, India, etc). They were identical to the regular Jackson Professional and Performer series which were exported to the American (North and South) and European markets. There were some models that overlapped, so you would find 'Jackson GroverJackson' and 'Jackson Professional' models in South America and Europe.
