This weeks episode I tackle the issue of dating made in Japan Jackson bolt on neck guitars that have six or seven digit numbers starting with 96, 97, or 98. Most of these guitars are actually made after 2000, but are incorrectly identified as 1996, 1997, or 1998 by online serial number decoder sites.
****Note****
One way to ID a Jackson bolt on guitar is to check the neck pocket to see if it has a date. Unfortunately not all Jackson's had a date stamped or written in the neck pocket. In those cases it becomes much more complex to figure out the manufacturing date.
