This one goes to the guitar players.

Im thinking of buying either a Jackson DXMG or DK2M, is there anyone here who plays one of these?

Just looking for opinions before i spend.


Many thanks

i know what your thinking,did he fire six shots or only five, so you gotta ask yourself a question, do i feel lucky, well do ya PUNK!!!

If you are able to do yourself the favor, spring for the Soloist SL-3. I do like the DK2M neck, but the heel is bulky. It also has fairly good pickups. I have not played a DXMG to compare it to, however.

Hey Dave,
When you say "HEEL" what is that?

some kinda neck thickness/dimention at some point?

educate me.

Yup - yanno where the neck bolts to the body? On a traditional strat style guitar, there is that big boxy block o wood where the neck bolts go through. I prefer neck thru types or other "heel-less" things like "bolt-in", and some set necks. Neck-thru is best though, as there is absolutely no heel, and that's a reason I was refering Matty to the Jackson SL-3.

I would go with the DK2M of those two, because I like a maple fingerboard and it looks great with the black sharkfins and binding. It also has Seymour Duncan pickups, a 59 and a JB, and they've improved the JT580LP Floyd licensed bridge by using a harder baseplate and blades.

If you're used to a neckthrough or the AANJ type neck joints like the newer Ibanez RGs have, then the Jackson heels can be a little boxy. If you grew up playing Strats, though, the Jackson hell is no problem. They don't bother me, personally.

Thanks for the heads up guys, the heel thing doesnt really bother me that much as im not much of a lead player anyway.

Any of you guys got this model in trans black?...that bad boy looks killer!!

Thanks again

Matty.
