The Dinky DK1 is a Jackson classic. Alder body, bolt-on quartersawn eastern hard rock maple neck, compound radius ebony fingerboard, EMG® 81 and 85 humbucking pickups, Floyd Rose® Original tremolo and black hardware.
This is matched perfectly with the EMG-85 in the neck pick up position. This pick up maintains a beefy low end and fat top end, thus lending itself well to a chunky sounding rhythm pick up for heavy rock as well as covering some blues rock territory. This is the same pick up configuration used by Zakk Wylde.
In terms of actual playability the changing radius is hardly noticeable at all as it grduates very gently up the neck. However you will find this neck design allows your playing speed to improve - the shredders among you will really appreciate this!! Fast lead runs and string bends high up the ebony neck especially are a doddle and just feels.."right!".
The neck is quatersawn hard maple which is incredibly fast with a slim profile. The neck is a compound radius design where the neck is flatter higher up the neck for fast lead work, bending etc, and rounder down towards the nut to make chording comfier and easier.
Making these necks is a time consuming process and shows a level of dedication you'd expect from a high end Jackson instrument. In addition, the neck is quatersawn wood which is strong and will be more stable throughout it's life than normal plainsawn wood.
An asbolutely stunning and iconic rock guitar from Jackson USA. An excellent pick up selection, what has to be a pretty much unrivalled neck action and profile a stunning finish...a real keeper.
