Jackson DX10D Superstrat

Strat style body features 2 dimarzio humbuckers, maple neck and maybe an ash body. Made in India in 2000 or 2001 . The neck has a great feel to it and the shark inlays make for an attractive look. The floyd rose is great and this baby has 24 frets.

I play all kinds of music but use this guitar in a dropped D tuning for newer material ( Disturbed, Saliva, Godsmack,etc). I run through a Mesa Boogie Dual rectifier into two mesa 2x12 cabinets loaded with 90 watt blackshadow speakers. I have an SKB pedalboard : Vox wah/Boss SD-1/boss noise gate to amp. Fx loop to Boss EQ, Boss ce5 chorus, Boss flanger, boss Pf3 phase shifter, Boss DD5 delay/digitech reverb unit back to amp. This guitar does feedback a bit even at very low volumes with my setup. My 4 other main guitars ( Ibanez Prestige, MusicMan, Fender Strat, Jackson Dinky Xl) do not feedback like this guitar does. The pickups are ok but I will most likely replace them. However, this axe does sound great for the price.

The action on this guitar is very low. I believe the nut is a bit low since the open d string buzzes. I will have to tweak it a bit but it is overall very nice. The Sunburst finish is awesome.

I am using this gtr as a backup.

I have been playing for 18 years. This guitar is a steal at this price range. Could definetly be used for players of all levels.

I recently bought a Jackson DX10 D guitar. It has some really nic features. It has an awesome flame maple tap with a burnt cherry sunburst (looks like a orange-yellow sunset). It also has a volume, tone and 3 way selector switch. Its equipped with 2 Duncan Designed Humbuckers. The neck is made out of maple, as for the body, probably alder or ash. One of my favorite parts about this thing is its Floyd Rose teamed up with a locking nut. :) It has what apears to be Gotoh tuners, which work perfect. Also one of the main points on this axe is the neck and fretobard. Its not too small, but not big enough to go over medium Id say. The fretboard is nearly flat and allows for nice speed, the inlays are beautiful sharkfins and look like real pearl (no idea what it really is but I dont care).

My style is a southern style ix of blues and metal. Lots and bends, hammers, etc. Most of the technique is in my left hand (Im a southpaw), so my right hand picks maybe half the notes I play except chords of course). It handles it perfectly. I replaced its's stock strings (no idea what they were, they werent too bad) with a set of Super Slinkies, and it sings. You know when you combine super slinkies and tuning down a step and a half you get some major bending! Hell, sometimes I dont need the whammy for raises! It's very quiet, and only gives of a little noise when I turn on my Danelectro EQ pedal. By itself it's quiet as a corpse. It has a very rich soud, the only thing I can think of that variates it from other good sounding guitars are it's highs. It's highs have a little more edge than normal, which I personally love. I play with the highs boosted on my amp, my distortion pedal (DOD Grunge), and my EQ pedal. It screams so much, I wear earplugs to avoid a staticy sound my ears start making after about 10 minutes (no joke). It doesnt fare very well at making mellow highs without outside help from pedals and/or amps. I personally have no dislikes with this guitar, its the first I've found that has ever been totally pleasing.

When I got it, I took out one of the springs in the tremolo (came with 3) for easier vibratos and divebombs, and leveled the neck pickup with the pickup frame. That was it. One thing that caught my attention when I first picked this thing up was how low the nut was set. About 2mm!!!! This means I now I have 2mm action all the way up the neck, with no buzz anywhere!I got rid of my Jackson RR (offset V) for extra cash to get this. My V's nut was set higher, so the first 2 frets gave annoying buzzes, I hated it. No problem with this baby. The flamed maple top is matched 3mm off, but still looks good. Other than that, there were only 2 othr problems. One is that about 5 of the frets werent full filled on the side of the neck facing you, but doesnt affect playing at all. The other could be a problem to some people. One of the screws holding the spring claw for the tremolo in was screwed in at an angle. This means you have to monkey with it more the normal to get the bridge to balance out with the string tension. This would definitely be a problem with people who don't like to work on their axe. I can say that none fo these problems effect it's playing or sounds at all.

This guitar will easily withstand gigging, and the finsih is very nice and solid. I don't think the hardware will have a problem and the strap buttons are nice and tight. I would however take a backup for it if I gigged, who wouldnt with a Floyd Rose? Break a string and you need a backup!

I haven't had to deal with them.

In the end, I have to say this is the best axe I've ever played. Nothing annoys me with it. This wouldnt be a guitar for casual players however, because it's Floyd Rose needs's attention to stay in tip-top shape. I wouldn't say I'd buy this same model again, because who knows if it'd have the same feel as this one. I will never pledge my allegiance to one guitar model, I pledge my allegiance to which ever guitar feels best. If some used Kasino guitar with the lower horn brok off feels the best to me, then I pledge my allegiance!! :) The only thing I wish it had, would be a toggle (the clicky metal ones) switch instead of a nomal switch, but that's just because I have a weird thing for them. I love that clicking sound they make!

Made in 2001 in India. It has all the features I wanted: a pointy reverse headstock, 24 jumbo frets, rosewood fretboard with shark fin inlays, bolt-on maple neck, locking nut, strat-style alder body with flame maple top, licensed Floyd Rose bridge, dual Duncan Designed humbuckers, 3-way selector blade, 1 volume knob, 1 tone knob, chrome hardware, and a beautiful Burnt Cherry Sunburst finish. This guitar has everything I want and nothing I don't. This isn't just some old axe that I picked up in a pawn shop. The time had come for me to procure my IDEAL guitar, and this was it, so naturally, I'm completely satisfied with its features.

I play hard rock and heavy metal, and many sub-genres of these. I lean more towards shred than anything else, and this is like the sterotype shred guitar. I'm currently running it through my DOD FX86 then into my shitty old solid-state Peavey. This guitar sounds much brighter than most other guitars of this type (such as Ibanez RGs). It isn't very noisy, due to the humbucking pickups. The locking nut keeps it in tune, and the Floyd Rose bridge is the best on the market. I don't believe it's a Floyd Rose Original, but I could be wrong. I was pleasantly surprised by the pickups on it (Duncan Designed 103s). I actually expected them to suck, but they really do sound good. They're well-balanced with an emphasis on the mids, medium output. I hate pickups with ultra-high output anyway. I'll probably replace these someday, but the stocks sound just fine. Everything about this guitar sounds great. I can't give it a 10, because it dosen't have a DiMarzio PAF Pro in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck, so I'll give it a 9.

Pretty much everything was set up good when I got it. Of course, I had to adjust the action to my taste and raise the bridge pickup slightly, but things like that need to be done on just about any guitar. I saw no point in having it professionally set-up, seeing as how I can do just as good a job for free. The tone knob was loose when I got it, but all I had to do was tighten down the little screw on the side. The finish on this guitar is absolutley beautiful. I could sit there and stare at it for hours. It's the kind of guitar that looks much better in real life than in a picture. The finish and all the parts were flawless.

I've only owned it for about a week, but this is definitely a solidly-built guitar. It's made in India, but don't let that fool you, it's good quality. The hardware seems sturdy enough, and the finish is rock solid. The strap buttons are huge, so you don't have to worry about the guitar sliding out of your strap as much. I'm eventually going to install some Straplocks on it, but these are fine for now. I would never gig without a backup guitar, just because a string could break or something like that, but the guitar itself could definitely withstand it.

I haven't had to deal with Jackson yet, so that's a plus. There is some kinda warranty paper that came with it, but to be honest, I haven't looked into very much yet, simply because I know a good quality guitar when I see one, and this baby dosen't look or feel like it will need repairs anytime soon.

I've been playing for about 4 years now. I love everything about this guitar and dislike nothing. The only things I would ever dream of changing on it are the pickups and the strap buttons. The stock pickups are very good, just not exactly what I want. If anyone ever stole this guitar I'd hunt them down and stab them in the face with a soldering iron. I'm not kidding, and that's not a figure of speech! In the event that the guitar had to be replaced, like if someone permanently tainted it by using it to play Nu-Metal or something like that, I would buy another one in a heartbeat. I compared this to all other guitars I know of, and this just happened to be exactly what I'm looking for. This is living proof that you don't have to pay thousands of dollars to get a good looking, good sounding, good playing axe. In your face Gibson!

Made in 2000 (India) this guitar has 24 jumbo frets, a Floyd Rose double locking temelo and a beautiful translucent dark blue flamed maple top that looks indestructable. The double humbuckers cancel very nicely and produce great distorion as well as clean tones. They are controlled by a three way switch. The body is a stat style with an upside down head, they just had to be different... Comes with a tuning kit - a couple of allen wrinches and a wierd looking hex wrench.

I mostly play rock type stuff (Tool, Def Tones, etc) and this guitar kicks ass thorough all the tough distortion but clean tones are bright as well! I play through Crate amps and Boss effects (distortion, chorus, Wah) and this thing makes my Crate sing. For the price the guitar plays pretty good - not as nice as my Gibson Studio but nice for an inexpensive (relativly) guitar.

Action was set pretty high from the factory and I had to play a bit with the setup to keep the low E and A strings from buzzing when I lowered the bridge. I am always surprized how well the thing stays in tune when cranking the whammy bar. Which, brings me to another point. Tuning can be a bitch but once you get used to tuning and locking down a Floyd Rose you will do fine. Pickups were a little low. Once I finished the setup this thing can really crank! Plays sweet! One thing I do hate - the damn whammy bar keps coming loose. It's just the screw on cap type - grr.

One 1 inch chunck of wood got broken off the head. Those pointy upside down heads are always asking for trouble. Doesn't effect performance at all and it's on the back side so not really visable when playing. The translucent blue is absolutely striking. Unless you plan on swinging it around by the head stock and punching it thorough your speaker cabinet multiple times it should be fine on stage. Just bring a second guitar if you need alternate tunings - the Floyd Rose makes it prohibitive to retune live.

Don't kow, never tried.

I've been playing for about 12 years and have owned about 10 different guitars (both electric and acoustic) and this is now one of my favs. My Gibson collection (Explorer and Studio) will remain my favorites for gigs but for an inexpensive (under USD $400) this is the one I play. Great for rehersals, etc. This is the best mid-range guitar I have owned to date. If you are just starting or looking to upgrade to a midlevel guitar that sounds great but you want to beat the crap out of guilt free this is it.

Made in Japan (I think) 24 frets, volume and tone, 3-way selector, 2 duncan designed humbuckers, beatiful transparent red finish, strat body style, floyd rose double locking tremolo.

This amp sounds awesome. It really actually improves the sound of a crappy little practice amp like I have, but also, since I do have only a crappy little practice amp, it is really hard to say what it sounds like. I can get a really dark sound without much tone to a bright glassy clean.

Well, I think I need to have it set up proffessionaly, and the pickups wiggle around alot. The finish is absolutely beautiful, transparent red, you can see the grain in the wood. It did come with a loose volume knob that had to be tightened, and came with a dent and a scratch on the back.

It seems like a very well made guitar, I have only had it for a couple of days so it is hard to say.

I love this guitar. It sounds awesome, is one of the best looking guitars I have seen. I've been having some tuning troubles with the floyd rose, but I think I've got that problem solved and I'm sure a professional setup will help, too. I love this guitar!!! Absolutely amazing for the money!!!

This guitar was made in 2000 and was made in Japan , with 24 jumbo frets, 1 volume 1 tone a 3-way switch and H/H pickup Config. The Pickups are Seymour Duncans, the body is Alder with flamed maple top
with a strat body. Bridge is a Licenced Floyd Rose 5

This guitar is amazing for my style of music. I play from light (Big Wreck, Perfect Circle) to Hardcore/Metal (Dillinger Escape Plan, Mudvayne. Right now I'm using a Very small Peavy with a lovely Boss HM2, which I love dearly. I think the only thing that causes noise with this guitar is my pedal and possibly my amp, by itself its silent. On clean this guitar is quiet warm and full with sound, with distortion you could easily get any sound you'd like out of it.

When I got the guitar the Floyd Rose was already set up, so that saved me sometime. The action was great as were the pickups. The only thing that I had a problem with was the guitar input. The nut was loose so I had to do a little work to tighten it.

I would definitly use this on stage only problem being the Floyd Rose with the tunings. I love the finish on this guitar - an amazing black. It looks like it could take a beating. I'm jumped around with this guitar lots and the buttons havn't budged one bit. I could most definitly use this on stage but I would have backups for my alternate tunings.

I've been Playing for about 2 years and I love this guitar. I was shopping for about 2 months looking for a guitar, and I narrowed it down to the Ibanez Rg570 and the Jackson DX10D. They seemed the same so I liked the look of the Jackson better. So I went with it. My buddy just bought the Rg570 and I would most definitly take my guitar before his. It has a much brighter sound to it.

Mine is the updated '00 model,made in India,24 frets,solid-alder body,volume,tone,3-way selector switch,two kick ass Duncan Designed humbuckers,(don't listen to all these assholes that say they can't distort,they kick monster ass!)flamed maple top,double-locking Floyd Rose Tremolo for bending notes to their max without it going out of tune.

Look out!! this dinky from Jackson kicks ass!,I am using a Marshall 5210 50w combo(see my review)the distortion is ground-shakingly brutal,there is nothing I don't like on this baby.

Very well done,my DX10D is a trans blue (not metallic blue),the humbuckers are very well adjusted,the Floyd is staying put.

I don't play in a band,so I don't know if it could withstand live but,Its a Jackson so I would say yes,strap buttons are very solid,this guitar was worth the wait,it kicks ass!

This is my first guitar,I would defend this thing with my life,you are a complete asshole if you lose a guitar,mine is not going anywhere!,my favorie thing about this guitar is the trans blue finish,I have never seen a better looking guitar(Ibanez sucks,esp sucks,b.fuckingc.rich sucks,gibson sucks,Jackson kicks ass!!

2000 model made in india (dont let that fool you)2 duncan designed
distortion model pickups,indian rosewood finger board,shark fin inlays
plastic not mother of pearl,jt 500 locking bridge and nut,24 fret,
three way switch,one volume and one tone,this one has a flamed maple
top with a cherry sunburst finish(excelently done)large strap buttons
oh yeah the body is solid alder.

The DX10-d has a lot of sustain and crunch due to the duncan pickup
and the maple top ran through a ADA-mp1 into a marshall power amp
and marshall cabs this guitar rocks (CRUNCH HEAVEN)acoustily it has a
semi-bright tone but plugged in it roars!

The guitar was a little off when i got it but having set-up experience
it did'nt take long to get this axe to play like a $1000 jackson,
there were only minor adjustments needed.Neck has a decent thickness
but i prefer the super thin necks like a ibanez original wizard,so i
will shave it down.Frets are jumbo not perfectly crowned(what do you
expect for $350.

this guitar would last as long as any other with normal use,i am not
100% thrilled with the bridge(nothing beats a real floyd)it seem a
little cheap and cheap metal sounds brittle.

dont know yet?

I have been playing for 25 years and this guitar is a very good deal
for players like me who believe you dont have to spend thousands of
dollars to play and sound good(look at old eddie vanhalen he spent
$150 for the black and white strat on the first record)I highly recomend
this model for anyone wanting a great jackson at a third of the price
of a USA model

Made in 2000 in India. 24 frets, alder with maple top. 1 vol. 1 tone. 3 way switch. Two Duncan Designed 103B,103N humbuckers (passive) MAple neck with rosewood fretboard and sharkfin inlays. Dark metallic blue, superstrat with Licensed Floyd Rose trem (JT500). Chrome hardwere and tools included.

I play metal and this guitar is kinf of right for it. The pickups are good enough, but could perform better. Not too niosy execept when using dist. Large variety of sound from jazzy and mellow to crunchy.

The action was a bit low for my taste, so I raised it. The pickups were well adjusted. Everything else was perfect.

This guitar is built like a rock. the finish if thick and will surely last, the same for the hardwere. the strap buttons are HUGE. pretty dependable, the only problem is the floyd, cause restinging is a drag the first time you do it, but with practice it gets simple

1 year warranty from the strore (COSTA RICA)

ive been playing for three years and have owned numerous guitars. i currently have a 1982 Ibanez Artist AR300 and this Jackson. This guitar kicks ass, mean looking metal machine. I it were lost, i would definetly buy it again, not too expensive and great features.
