The model I have is a DK RHF "made in Japan".
His round of 24 frets is nice to play but wrong at the second fret on the G string, although passed in the hands of a luthier to have it settle.
It has 3 Duncan Designed pickups less good as Seymour Duncan:
A double bridge HB-102B
2 singles in middle and neck SC-101.
For the bridge is the same it is licensed but not manufactured by Floyd Rose.
Finally the Achilles heel of all these series are those knobs. This is a disaster. After a month of use he spits.

UTILIZATION

It thus has a very pleasant round despite some defects. The access to acute is easier when you play sitting because it tends to slide the handle to the strap.

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock so perfect with this kind of microphones. It is plugged into a VOX AD50VT home (Valvetronic) which gives a very good record.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this model since July 2004 but she was changed by the dealer once already after the first problems potentiometers. The second is the same: she left for service as still under warranty. Be aware that the Service is provided by Jackson Fender then the Paris region to delay the provincial transportation.
Besides the nice form the headstock is a Start type guitar standard, with the electronics very "light".
In short after that I think I better take to equal value, a guitar made in France, as LAG, where you can reach a representative of the brand and quality much higher.
