    Jackson DK2T DinkyPublished on 09/27/07 at 00:50
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Alder body (with maple veneer on transparent finishes for Tiger), Maple Bolt-on neck, maple fingerboard, Seymour Duncan SH-2N (handle) + TB-4JB (Bridge, as recommended for normal floyd, weird), bridge rope to cross Tunamatic Jackson, Black hardware.
    The handle is the head at the back have a look "natural" which is a little bare

    8 screwed to the handle and the fact that we can not take advantage of a push / pull while the microphone is splitable

    Channel Pleasant thinner than most jackson, access to acute not because of the super Bolt, shape and weight regularly, and one of the classic tit-flat for the selector (a 3 position type Gibson would have been better, the kinds Start 'are ergonomic way to my taste in 3 positions)

    SOUNDS

    I mainly play metal in all its forms but I am a big consumer of its also clear ...
    Micro Bridge: - A distortion-distortion with a good gain that potato but is rather a mat and with gaps in details on the treble, black spot: Where are the mediums?? Many acute, quite low for SD but not many mediums! Frustrating!
    - Clear sound - it was something fairly crystalline, but very flat and without personality

    Neck pickup: - The disto-it becomes more interesting, one obtains an accurate and well rounded (weird for the SD for that matter) is a micro Jazz at the same time, when you lose a bit of aggression and lacks some sustain

    - Clear - much better than a clean rack with lots of bass but still this side a little mat, a typed too clean for my taste ... Jazz

    OVERALL OPINION

    The other scratch my group uses it, so I tested it at home, taking the opportunity to take a picture of Jackson (see profile Idroken)
    I like the stick close to my Ibanez but I have trouble with the neck pickup times and especially the lack of mediums General
    I tested the the Gibson Ibanez Jackson ESP of the Washburn and I think this guitar is too expensive for what it is ... So rapport-/qualité very average prices since the increase to 649 euros!
    If I wanted a floyd guitar without it I would not have it to because its on his sleeve too typed too neutral bridge and its lack of media is a barrier.

    Hard tail version

    Jackson DK2T DinkyPublished on 07/24/11 at 21:20
    While most Jacksons tend to have floating tremolos for bridges, they do like to try to appease those who enjoy a hard tail bridge, and this is their hard tail model of the DK2. The guitar has the following specs:

    Alder body with flamed maple veneer
    Maple bolt-on neck
    Rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets
    HH configuration
    Binding
    Jackson hard tail bridge
    Sharkfin inlays
    Three way switch
    Master volume and master tone

    UTILIZATION

    I should start off this review by saying that I'm not exactly a big hard tail fan. I much prefer floating bridges in terms of feel and tone. One is not really better than the other; it's all preference. I'll try to be as fair as possible, thou…

    I should start off this review by saying that I'm not exactly a big hard tail fan. I much prefer floating bridges in terms of feel and tone. One is not really better than the other; it's all preference. I'll try to be as fair as possible, though. The guitar's frets were pretty nice, but I noticed that there were some issues once I started lowering the action a bit. It would fret out on certain frets, so this could probably be a nice fret level. The binding and inlay work is standard par for these guitars in that it's pretty solid, but the binding doesn't seem to be quite as nice as some of the high end Jacksons that I've had my hands on.

    SOUNDS

    The guitar has a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Jazz in the neck. The JB in the bridge has been the "go to" pickup for nearly everybody in the past 30+ years that it's been around. It's a high output pickup that can have a bit too much treble for some guitars and somewhat loose bass. However, it leads itself to being able to do nearly any style. The pickup has been used in everything from straight blues to brutal death metal. The Jazz in the neck is more of a clean tone pickup. It delivers a very nice clean, but I find the treble to be a bit too much in the neck for high gain leads. It sounds a bit synthetic or hi-fi at times, but it can work out nicely in guitars like Gibson Les Pauls or Explorers.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The guitar is cool if you're into hard tail guitars. If that's the case, I recommend checking out this guitar as it's very solid for the price. The veneer aspect is a bit cheap, but for the price, it's understandable. I recommend buying this used as you'll get a better deal. Check out eBay for the best prices.
