Why do you think you may or may not be scammed? It's a nice guitar, I like Jacksons and used to have a Dinky myself. My only issue is that my hands are too big for them. Always good to see a maple board anyways. Enjoy your new axe !

Looks legit to me. I have one in black. It's a nice guitar, especially for the money. You can find them for around $550 new. That's cheap.

The one thing that annoyed me initially, was the trem bar. It was always coming loose. But, after using it for a while, it seemed to fix itself. I have had a couple of these and it was the case with both. Though, I did wind up buying a new Floyd Rose trem bar and holder for it, fits perfectly.

Some people will say the licensed trem is a problem. The newer ones are made with a harder baseplate material. I haven't had any problems at all.

Fortunately, if there was a problem, an Original Floyd Rose fits right in there.

Congratz. If I were going to recommend a guitar for someone just starting out, this would be it. That is not to say more expierenced won't enjoy it as well. I do.

BTW.... I also have a USA Custom shop JAckson soloist to compare to.

Have fun!

lol that was partially a joke.
Although i found it odd that nobody else bidded on it other than me.
That guitar is worth around $1299 Australian Dollars new without a setup etc here.

the whiteness of that guitar should compliment my current axe nicely :P

The JB in that guitar might be a little too bright for me considering alder/maple fretboard/bolt on is generally bright enough as it is right?

Congrats. New axe days ROCK

I have always had an affinity for USA soloists and ESP versions but recently bagged an RGT3020 and now have no desire for a soloist anymore

I usually prefer my JB pups in mahogany or maple topped mahogany. Never tried one in alder or basswood. Let us know how it works for you

Hey if you ever feel like swapping the LFR trem for the real thing, is it a direct swap? Thats the only thing that kept me from buying one of those, I didn't trust the trem. But love the maple neck with black sharkfins. Nice.
