[Nick 6]

Hey
a local guys selling his Jackson dinky dxmg for $200. Black, good shape, passive emgs, floyd rose. Is this a decent deal for a back up guitar????
I got an ibanez RG neck thru, is this thing gonna be anything close?

[Nick 6]

ok, anybody? $200 (canadian), deal or no deal? should I grab 'er?

I'd say go for it. I used Jacksons as some of my first few guitars and from what I've played their higher ups are great. Neck profile is more like a flat U shap (\__/) versus something like a traditional baseball bat (D) or close to the thinness of a Wizard. The passive EMGs sound fine to me, but other people will say if you want passive, go for brands that are strictily for passive like Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio.

It's a licensed Floyd that is a real POS.

do it now!

for 200$ i'd go for it, especially if you want her to be a back up guitar.
yeah the licensed floyd is POS but if you block it it's a good bridge anyway.
