I've looked through all the information I can find and absolutely none of it seems to be any help whatsoever identifying exactly what kind of guitar I have.

When I received it as a gift, it was from Musician's Friend circa 2000, and the catalog said it was a 'Jackson Pro Dinky Reverse'.

I've always gone with that, but Google searches don't turn up anything if all four words are used together ('Jackson Pro Dinky Reverse'). Unfortunately, I'm on hard times, catching up on paying debts, and I have to sell it, but I don't want to sell it without knowing how much it's worth.

Looking up serial numbers has been the source of my frustration, as all of them suggest they have 6 or 7 digit serial numbers... mine has 9. The Jackson website itself was no help, and the only number I can find on it whatsoever is on the back of the head.

Maybe I'm just not hitting the magic number with my Google search string, but I've dug through countless websites, message board posts and the like, and I can find absolutely NOTHING helpful after searching for over two hours, and I must acquiesce to those smarter than me.

Help me identify what is possible with this guitar (make, model, year, country of origin, etc). The serial number (or, really, the only number whatsoever I can find on this guitar) is 650012676.

Jackson guitars, which are notoriously outlandish and always attention-getting, have earned a reputation over the past several decades as the axe of choice for those who want to get the ultimate bang for their buck. Due to the history of the Jackson brand and the use of many of its guitars by popular bands, the Jackson line of guitars are sought after, bought and sold many times over. One unfortunate consequence of this activity is that many Jackson owners wind up with a Jackson guitar but don’t know which one it is. Luckily, it’s not difficult to determine which Jackson guitar you own.

Go to the Jackson Guitar support page (see Resources.) Click the 'Support' menu option on the right side of the screen, and then click “Serial Number and Product Dating Information' on the next menu.

Examine your guitar to find its serial number. If you have a bolt-on neck, the serial number should be stamped into the neck plate. If you have a neck-through-body model, the serial number should be stamped onto the fingerboard at the last fret.

If you can’t find a serial number anywhere on your guitar, or the one you find doesn’t match one in the tables on the support page, it’s likely that you have a knock-off guitar instead of a true Jackson guitar.
