Jackson DKMGT (Pix Heavy)

Scored another J/C...to use as an every day player.
The Model 88 is a bit too "nice to bang on every day, plus I wanted something 24 fret, floyd not necessary. She's a 2001, I have an EMG 85 in the bridge. It came with an Evans Hot Lead, but I haven't tried that one yet. Anyone know anything about the Evans? (Not stock, it came originally with HZ's)

Anyways, the neck is thin like the Charvie, and I love the arch top, and the sound is great. Basswood body wiyh maple cap.

Sweet git, bro!

Thanks, it's hard to choose between this and the bich, now. Extra frettage helps.

I only have eight guitars now, and choices are starting to get difficult.
A good problem to have.

For a moment, I thought you got it in CBS finish (only avail on the trem version) til I realised it was actually a reflection! D'oh.. Still a nice score though.

Hey, wil, good to see you here!
No, it's gloss black. And a very nice finish!
I'm still playing with pickups. The Evans is out, the EMG 85 went back into the Model 88, I put a J90C Jackson it this DK, and a good freind gave me a POS Jackson logoed pup for the neck. It's droolworthy as far as playability, but I can't stop myself from playing with the pups.

Truth is, I really don't want the EMG 85 in for the everyday player. I want a good sounding passive. And that Evans tests good, but sounds weak.
