Just bought a Jackson DX10d

I paid 50 bucks for it. When I got it it was covered in stickers and the fretboard was loaded with grime. The input jack was missing the nuts. The volume knob was broken. And there are a few chips in the paint and a nice sized crack from the neck to where the bridge plate on the back goes. As soon as I got it home I took it all apart. I polished the frets and scrubbed the fretboard with lemon oil a couple times. Then I waxed and polished the floyd style bridge. it took me about 2 hours to get all the sticker and sticker grime off of the body. I finally waxed and polished the body and put it all back together with a new set of DR lites. It sounds great and I'm completely satisfied with it. I figured I'd post it and see what other people think of the deal, and just what they think of the model itself.

I think the Jackson looks great, and for 50$ ? Man I'll be all over that guitar in a second

Great Deal !

and By the way.. from what I can tell...your main 7 is not a DX7 but a DR7 (DX7 made in malaysia, DR7 made in Japan)

and please post more pics of your 7 string

Thanks for the heads up on the 7-string. I'll have to do some research. and I'll get more pics up soon.

Here's some pictures of it.

I tried to look up what kind it was with the serial number, but I got lazy so I just emailed Jackson Guitars about it.

I really like the licensed floyd a lot. I've been thinking about pickups I might wanna put in it. I want some actives, but I'm not sure which I wanna go with. I really like the EMG 707 in my 7-string, and I know it's an 85 basically. I'm thinking about an 81 and 85. I don't really know a lot about pickups, since the 707 is the only after market pickup I've ever had installed. If anybody wants to offer their input on what's best, I'd appreciate it.

Thats a DR7 all right

Give LACE a try. Heard nothing but good things about their actives.
