All user reviews of 3/5 for the Jackson DK2M Dinky

These have to be my favorite Jackson instruments that they make. It's very close to the superstrat style of guitars that have been very common in the 80s crowd such as the Charvel guitars. To basically this is almost exactly like a new production Charvel guitar. There are subtle differences such as the tremolo system has been cut away from the body so what sits down flatter across the frets. Most of the Charbvel guitars have the Floyd Rose mounted on top of the body. You get to see more Duncan pick up switches usually standard in many of the Charbvel guitars. You also have the rock hard maple neck which is a little bit different than most Jackson guitars that feature the rosewood back. You get a typical shark fin inlays within the frets.

SOUNDS


The tone is guitar is a very exciting tone because it has a great frequency response with any amplifier that you use. I think it must be the alder wood combination with the rock hard maple neck that just really excites a high gain amplifier. The color of it is pretty usual and standard with any type of hard rock or metal guitarist. However the overall feel and tone of this guitar is extremely versatile and fun to play. If you like the pointy headstock then this is a great guitar for you. It's a fun guitar and the neck is very comfortable to play as well.

OVERALL OPINION

These guitars you can find new for right around $600 or so. However they're going to be a little bit harder to find because they have been discontinued. So if you looking for something more comparable than you might have to go with one of the newer production model Jackson guitars. Overall they're a fun guitar and very cool looking to boast.
