    Had white DK2m back in the day with JB/Jazz pickups. Wish I still had it. One of the best guitars out there.

    Nah, that's a JT580LP...the only down side to most 2000's MIJ models.
    They started using the 1000 Series on some models in 2006, though.

      Thanks for the clarification! Got to say, I never had any troubles with the bridge even when divebombing. Solid as a rock.

      i have experienced better longevity and overall performance and less issues with my many jt580lp than any of my genuine floyds, my genuine floyds are good though

      Like I said, starting in '06 models began switching from the 580 to the 1000 series. The SL3 was probably the first. @@tankdarla637

    I have one from 2007. I think the one I have was initilaliy sold in Europe or maybe Asia. The North American models had a Jackson branded JT-580lp bridge (made by Takeuchi Japan) but the Asian models (as far as I can tell, and perhaps the European models) had the TRS Pro (Made by Takeuchi Japan). They are identical except for the way the arm attaches to the base plate. The JT-580lp has the threaded collar like a Floyd Rose, while the TRS PRO arm is threaded into a nut bolted onto the plate. As far as Jackson bridges go only the JT-590 (Schaller Floyd Rose) is better (maybe the very old JT-6 as well). I put a Schaller made Floyd Rose (Branded Schaller not Jackson) on mine because I had one. Licensed Floyd Roses are a complicated mess 🍻

      i prefer jt580lp over all fr type trems, maybe because i am just more familiar with them

    I have an Erie Des swirl 2008 model and at the time it was about 400 pounds plus 60 pound for the swirl paint job a great price in 08 dread to see what it would cost today and it's probably made in Mexico or something.

    My DK2M was with factory defect. It had very heavy neck and very light body. So guitar was unbalanced :(

    which is better, jackson dk2m japan better or the ibanez rg 570?

    • @Metallex
      @Metallex  3 года назад

      Two very different guitars in the 'modern' range. I would say it comes down to personal preference with the neck and pickups. I love the super thin Wizard necks on the Ibanez, but the SDs in the Jackson are great. I personally prefer the Jackson models, as a rule.
      Better is entirely subjective. I'd say go to a guitar store (safely!) and give them a try!
