Many people prefer the feel of bare wood to a finished neck. Unlike on the neck through Jacksons this guitars bolt on neck means you get a bare neck. The jumbo frets let you get a nice action and the compound radius fretboard means that you can comfortably play on both ends of the neck. They have recessed the heel and the back of the guitar. Jackson has done their best to make sure the heel does not get in the way. You get a Jackson Licensed Floyd Rose which is of decent quality.īecause the guitar is bolt on construction it will have a heel at the neck joint unlike the higher end Jacksons that are neck through. These pickups are similar to what you get in the high end SL1. The pickups are two STK-1 single coils in the neck and middle with a JB TB4 in the bridge. It comes with Seymour Duncan pickups from the factory. Near the high end the radius is 16 inches which makes shredding and lead playing effortless. Near the headstock on the low end the radius is 12 inches which means the fretboard is slightly more curved up there to make playing chord shapes more comfortable. he compound radius allows the for great playability on both ends of the neck. The fretboard is rosewood with jumbo frets and Jacksons famous compound radius fretboard and Jacksons trademark sharkfin inlays. The guitar features an Alder body with a rock maple bolt on neck. It is priced lower than the Soloist respectively. The Dinky is pretty much a Jackson Soloist but with a bolt on neck. It is named Dinky because of the slightly smaller body than normal. In the 80s Jackson went out to make the best playing shredders guitars in the world. Potentially this could be an awesome guitar, if you spend some extra bucks upgrading the cheaper parts, because the good construction and sounds are already there. PROS: Nice construction - Comfortable neck - Good pups - Stays in tune well - Good balance - Sound has its own personalityĬONS: Lacks sustain - Cheap electronics - Tremolo doesn't feel solidįINAL THOUGHT: Nice guitar overall, great for clean sounds and distorted also. I can tell that because I've got a Schecter C-1 fr Hellraiser with a Floyd Rose 1000 and that one feels really solid and it has sustain. The good thing in this one is that it stays in tune very well, but at the same time as long as you use it and make pulls, the bar start to feel loose and that doesn't help when you try to do precise bends with the bar. This guitar lacks it and I think the main cause is the tremolo system.
While the construction of the guitar is neat and the sound is good, there is a couple of things in what this guitar doesn't go so far. As I said before it is all in the quality of Seymour Duncan pups. The sounds for distorted are nice too but I have to say the humbucker is the winner here hands down. All the sounds are usable, and they sound fine. But that kind of sound has it's own personality. I find this model pleasantly good for clean sounds, as I always say, these kind of superstrats has a "strat-oid" sound similar to strats, but not the same. The top has a flamed maple veneer, nice to the look but it doesn't affect to the sound in my opinion. You can read in the specs it has an alder body, but I feel mine very lightweight, as if it were made of basswood. I had to do that because at the beginning it had hum problems.Īlso I modded the humbucker adding a push-pull split coil which added a nice couple sounds more. The electronics in this one were a mess and I had to replace all the components for a Dimarzio set. This model is a cheaper option based on the great SL1 Soloist American model, one of the most remarkable differences is the neck (SL1 has Neck-thru-body) and this one has bolt on. Nice construction overall, with no flaws, super straight neck, neat in the details.

My first impression with this guitar was really good, at that time I was looking for a replacement for my older Aria Pro II XR series (HSS configuration strat) I got it used from a web selling site. Floyd Rose Licensed Jackson Low Profile JT580 LP double-locking 2-Point Tremolo
Jackson-licensed Floyd Rose low-profile double locking trem Seymour Duncan pickups: STK-1 single-coil(mid and neck), JB TB4 humbucker(bridge) Bound rosewood compound-radius fingerboard Alder body with flamed maple top (transparent finishes only)
It could be a metal guitar, but it's more than that. It has the look you could expect for a 80's metal guitar. I got this guitar in 2012 and I still have it.
