A Dinky JS Series: Accessible Jackson DNA
The JS Series is designed to capture the sharp aesthetics and "fast" playability that have made Jackson famous, in a more affordable version. With its compact Dinky shape, performance-oriented neck, and HH pickup configuration, the JS20 DKQ 2PT serves as an ideal entry point into the brand's rock and metal universe, without sacrificing ergonomics or visual impact.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This Jackson is especially aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking a comfortable and responsive electric guitar, as well as musicians looking for a second guitar dedicated to standard tunings and fast playing. It excels in rock, hard rock, and metal thanks to its access to high notes (24 frets) and high-output humbuckers, while remaining relevant for warmer tones in the neck position.
Sound
The combination of a poplar body and maple neck emphasizes a sharp attack and balanced response, ideal for precise palm-muting and tight rhythms. The two Jackson High-Output Humbuckers (ceramic magnets) deliver generous output with solid lows, present mids, and a high end that retains definition under saturation. The 3-position selector switch allows toggling between the bridge pickup's bite, the neck pickup's warmth, and a blend of both for broader rhythm tones, while the 2-point tremolo enables expressive vibrato and effects with a modern feel.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel, opt for nickel electric strings 09-42 gauge (.009-.042), as specified on the model. A standard strap is also compatible with the original strap buttons.
