Jackson

collapse expand iconDescription

Tricked out with all-black hardware, and available in a variety of finishes, this Jackson is one of the best values in modern shred-style instruments.

The JS Series Dinky JS12 features a poplar body, bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability and a 12”-radius amaranth fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and white dot inlays. The flat radius allows for easier chording, feels great for rhythm playing and handles bends well during lead playing.

A pair of Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets cranks out clear tone with plenty of girth, and can be shaped with a three-way toggle switch and single volume and tone controls.

    I got the snow white color of this Jackson. The reason it has 4 stars is because it came with high action out of the box. But after adjusting it myself and setting up the intonation properly, it sounds awesome! I have tried many guitars of different brands and Jackson takes the cake. If you are looking to start rocking, get a Jackson!

  • A good beginning guitar

    Very easy to chord. It appears to be well designed and fun to play.i would recommend this guitar to anyone that is looking for a quality starter. Beautiful finish. After initial string stretching, it stays in tune very well.
