Members FoonkySteve Posted October 17, 2010 Members Share Posted October 17, 2010 My Stepdad, just gave me his Jackson DR3 to sell for him.(its ok, im not trying to sell it here) But i am having a little trouble dating it, and would love some sort of appraisal? Idk much about Jacksons Here's the spec, MADE IN JAPAN Body : Poplar with Flame Maple Top Neck : Rock Maple Bolt on rosewood (Reverse headstock and rvs sharkfin inlays) Frets : 24 Jumbo Bridge : Double locking Jackson floating Trem (Licensed under floyd rose) Pick ups : Duncan Designed 103B and 103N (2 humbuckers) with no mount casing Controls : 1vol, 1tone, 3 way selector switch Hardware : Its kind of like a GunMetal matt silver type thing? (this is where my dating trouble comes from) Finish : Trans Blue The hardware is throwing me off with the date, i think it could be the 2000 model, but it really could be any year from 96 -2003 i think? Can anyone shed any light? I need batteries for my camera, bu in the meantime here is a pic of practically the same guitar: This one is green though Looks more like this one: Thanks!

Members Fusion1 Posted October 17, 2010 Members Share Posted October 17, 2010 I think they only did the satin hardware for a couple of years 1997-2000 or something around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FoonkySteve Posted August 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2012 Apologies for bumping this old thread. Still trying to figure this one out. Any Jackson experts in the house? I'm leaning towards it being a 2000 MIJ DR3. Looking through the old catalogs it seems to be the year 2000 the 'satin chrome' hardware was introduced. What i am now trying to figure out is if it has a mahogany body? Reasons being that my old eyes are struggling to read the txt on the Jackson 2000 pdf scans, for the spec's it say's something about a mahogany body which would tie in with the crazy sustain that you get fro this thing unplugged perhaps?? Also I have pics now (unfortunately iphone pics) ill go get them uploaded here, and y'all can put the kettle on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dogman10 Posted May 7, 2013 Members Share Posted May 7, 2013 The hardware is actually called brushed pewter, its a different look ,but i personally love. To replace, its triple the cost of your basic chrome plated hardware. anyway, i know this thread is old but i needed to chime in. Because its not as well known as other jackson models, it sometimes gets overlooked. its an awesome playing guitar with a very fast neck. perfect condition $350-$400, good condition $300-$350, scratched bad or work needed as low as $200. I bought one for my son who quit playing 2 months later. This dr3 became my favorite playing guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundsuite-pro Posted September 25, 2020 Members Share Posted September 25, 2020 This is my same guitar I bought new in 2000, for 900.00 I broke the pewter switch that same year and to this day cannot find a pewter one. This was a high quality guitar and should not sell for less than 800.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
