Jackson js series dinky js12 review năm 2024

Swift, deadly and affordable, Jackson JS Series guitars take an epic leap forward, making it easier than ever to get classic Jackson tone, looks and playability without breaking the bank.

The JS Series Dinky JS12 features a poplar body, bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability and a 12Ó-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.

The JS12 has all-black hardware, including the synchronized fulcrum tremolo bridge, die-cast tuners and standard strap buttons.

Offering more for less, the JS12 comes in four finishes Ñ Gloss Black, Metallic Blue, Metallic Red and Snow White.

The JS12 is a dream to play! The neck is smooth and fast, a shredders dream! It has a beautiful finger board with 24 highly polished frets! The metallic blue I got it in was the only available color I could get at the time, I don’t regret it!!!!Not only does it look great it sounds even better! What can I say I know what I like!

I've owned quite a few guitars, mostly midrange priced guitars ($500-$1000 that's midrange in my opinion) I play just about every style. Jazz, classiccal, rock, heavy metal, whatever. I bought this guitar because I recently moved to China, and I couldn't take all of my guitars with me and this is just a project guitar I guess. I consider myself a serious player, but had no time to save money much money. I'm giving this 4 stars taking price into consideration. At this price, I don't think you can really get anything better except if you get lucky and find a steal on eBay or a music exchange on Facebook etc.. I changed the tuners and pickups the day after I got this guitar, but of course I plugged it in and checked it out before I did that just to see what ~200$ can really buy in a guitar.

The pickups definitely are not the best, but they're not the worst either. Of course this is marketed as a starter guitar, so if you're planning on learning some nirvana, Deftones, SOAD, etc. (taking into consideration the shape. It's a metal guitar, but you can play more with it) the pickups should suit you just fine.

The bridge and nut quality are pretty solid in my opinion (as I said, this is my project guitar, so I'm changing them soon) the bridge actually blew me away. Usually a tremolo even on a midrange priced guitar has some tuning issues, but this showed me very little even in comparison to some mid ranged ibanez's, fenders, and schecters that I've played. I still don't use the tremolo that often, though, because there still are some tuning issues, but again, that's probably with most tremolos. It's not perfect, but I'm definitely not saying it's bad.

The reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because of the neck. This is a phenomenal guitar, but the neck is pretty uncomfortable to me. It's not compound radius, The whole thing is flat. It's very convenient for playing higher on the neck, but it feels like I'm playing a plank when I'm playing normal chords, or if I'm just playing anything down there in general, but it doesn't feel like I'm playing a baseball bat like on really low end epiphone lp's or similarly priced starter guitars. The action (which, if it's low action, would make it easier to play) is decent. I unfortunately didn't buy from sweetwater this time because I don't think they ship here, but my previous purchases all came set up perfectly out of the box. This, however had some high frets. Customer service and quality control here in China is terrible, and the dealer obviously didn't even try to set it up or anything. My G has to be a little higher than the rest of my strings because of the sub-par fretwork, but this guitar is $180 and my only major complaint is the neck and fretwork and both can be fixed.

Sweetwater is awesome, so I highly suggest buying anything from this wonderful company, but I'd definitely recommend going to a guitar center or your local music shop and to try one of these out before buying it, or just asking them if they have something similar. I.e. Starter guitars with flat necks or starter guitars with fat ones if you're a starter. I prefer thin plank over baseball bat necks, but it's not something I'd want to pick up and play like my old Jackson Dkxt.

If someone is buying this maybe because they're in the same situation as me, or maybe if you have experience playing guitar and you want to practice your tech/luthier skills on a guitar that's not so expensive or scary to mess with or mess up (or in other words "hot rodding"), this is a great start. Definitely try and swap out the pickups as fast as you can, new tuners would help in my opinion. Mine needs a bit of fret work, but I'm probably just gonna try and find a new neck to put on there soon.

After swapping the pickups (dimarzio air Classic in the neck and super distortion in the bridge) and tuners(gotoh), it sounded at least a hundred times better to my ears. Better than some $600-700 guitars I've tried like some schecter diamonds or ibanez iron labels(when they first came out. I don't know about the new ones) of course if I had more money, I'd have gone with something with a better bridge or a more comfortable neck, but life comes first, and I took my old pickups with me to China, so it was fairly cheap for me to get this sounding great. After the changes I made, I wouldn't feel inadequate gigging with this.

Is the Jackson JS series a good guitar?

This is a good V guitar for its price. The Floyd Rose works fine, the people complaining about it seem to forget that Floyd Rose lost its licensing years ago. There's no difference anymore between a Floyd Rose licensed and an original Floyd Rose in terms of manufacturing and development.

What are Jackson Dinkys good for?

The Jackson Dinky is usually preferred by players of hard rock and heavy metal.

What size is the Jackson JS12 Dinky?

Compare to Similar Best Sellers.

Is Jackson JS22 good for beginners?

Excellent guitar for beginner, pro or in-between. I loved this Jackson almost as soon as I saw it.
