    Jackson PS4 DinkyPublished on 09/20/03 at 09:34
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Jackson dinky form (stratum, what!) Made in Korea jusqy = ue the late 90's.
    Alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard 24 frets.
    The scraper adopts the conventional configuration MSM are two double and one single, stamped Jackson, and served by a volume (which is when it is turned crrrriccc) + a tone and a 5 position switch.
    A licensed Floyd JT500 completes the picture, like a reverse head, which brings a touch of originality to my guitar both sober.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is my once pleasant, fairly flat (not like my Les Paul), access to treble is not bad, although the junction body / neck is thick enough. Otherwise the guitar is well balanced, light, and the game is …

    SOUNDS

    Jackson is often criticized for its poor quality microphones, which I confirmed. The pickups are clearly not up to it, and do not expect to have a thrashy sound of the fire of God with these microphones there!
    The double bridge has a good level of output but has little bass and too much treble, but it screams in the wrong sense.
    The microphone can be operated in simple clear sound but its output level is too low, too bad!
    In contrast, the double neck is doing better, with sounds quite flattering light as saturated, but it's not good either ecstasy!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Purchased 96 new end to 2500F, it remains a good investment for metalheads who are new guitar, even if the PS-4 shows real versatility. However due to a mean violin and frankly not up to the microphones, the Jackson remains far behind the Japanese and of course the American brand.

    HSH Performer series Dinky

    Jackson PS4 DinkyPublished on 07/18/11 at 07:17
    This is yet another guitar in the Performer Series that's more aimed towards those who are very low on money. The main difference between this and the PS2 is that this has an HSH configuration. The guitar has the following features:

    Alder body
    Maple bolt-on neck
    Rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets
    Licensed floyd rose bridge
    HSH configuration
    Dot inlays
    One volume pot, one tone pot and a five way switch

    UTILIZATION

    The guitar had a few issues with it. The neck joint on this had a fairly noticeable gap. This can severely hinder potential tone due to lack of total sound transfer. The frets themselves really needed a nice once over. They weren't properly crowned, and …

    One volume pot, one tone pot and a five way switch

    UTILIZATION

    The guitar had a few issues with it. The neck joint on this had a fairly noticeable gap. This can severely hinder potential tone due to lack of total sound transfer. The frets themselves really needed a nice once over. They weren't properly crowned, and the edges were sharp. Fixing both of those issues would have made this guitar play a lot better. The only other real issue would be that this bridge was awful. It's some cheap pot metal licensed floyd bridge that seems to lack all sustain. A real original floyd rose would be much better in terms of stability and overall tone.

    SOUNDS

    The guitar sounded pretty dismal. The bridge pickup was bright, and it didn't have any definition at all. Under gain, it just completely fell on its face. The middle position was decent for tones, and it split decent with the neck and bridge, but I don't put too much attention towards middle pickup tones as I find them more for cleans than anything else. The neck pickup sounded very muffled, and it couldn't get a good lead tone to save its life. If you're going to keep this, you really need to replace the pickups.

    OVERALL OPINION

    You could spend a good few hundred bucks upgrading this guitar by replacing the pickups and swapping out the licensed floyd for a real one. The problem is that the wood on these models can be such a crap shoot that it's pretty much not worth the time and investment. You'll also want to get a full fret level and crowning on this given how sloppy the fretwork on these models can be.
