Rock Out with Jackson!

The shred-ready Jackson JS11 Dinky solidbody electric guitar was made to create sonic mayhem. The amazingly affordable JS11 Dinky serves up massive tone and killer sustain - courtesy of its basswood body, tremolo tailpiece, and two high-output ceramic humbuckers. You'll relish the uber-playability of the maple speed neck and fat-fretted amaranth fingerboard that lets you chord blissfully and shred without the fear of fretting out. Say hello to your new weapon of choice: the Jackson JS11 Dinky.

Jackson high-output pickups deliver the ultra-hot tone you need to tear it up

Looking for rock-solid metal tone? The Jackson JS11 Dinky delivers! That's because Jackson hooked the JS11 Dinky up with a pair of their custom-built ceramic-magnet humbuckers. These high-output humbuckers give you plenty of punch and serious bite - just what you need for today's most aggressive guitar styles.

Flat fretboard delivers maximum playing comfort and performance

The JS11 Dinky features a 12-inch radius fretboard for smooth playability. This flat amaranth fingerboard (complete with classic dot inlays) is great for fast note runs and big string bends. With a neck that plays this slick, you'll be up at the 22nd fret before you know it.

If looks could kill...

If you're after a guitar that looks as mean as it sounds, then Sweetwater has your axe. The Dinky body shape alone is enough to convey instant attitude. Throw in Jackson's distinctive pointy headstock and you've got one arresting-looking guitar. The Jackson JS11 Dinky is one of the sharpest-looking guitars around; it's a serious axe wielder's instrument of destruction.

Jackson JS11 Dinky Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • A high-performance guitar for an amazing low price
  • Lightweight and resonant basswood Dinky body conveys instant attitude
  • Dual Jackson custom humbuckers deliver hard-hitting high-gain tone
  • Flat-radiused amaranth fingerboard feels great for rhythm and lead playing
  • 2-point tremolo tailpiece
  • Slender graphite-reinforced maple neck keeps your action fast

What a great guitar

At this price point I just wanted a guitar to practice on at home and stop toting around my more expensive guitars. This arrived almost in tune out of the box. I did change the strings to my usual xl diadarrio and it sounds so good plugged in. I love the bridge pickup for my sound. I'm so happy with this guitar so far, haven't had to set it up or anything. Excellent!

The best cheap metal guitar I've found

I typically look for guitars under $ dollars that are good for metal, which is the style I play. I have played 10-11 guitars under this price range, and this is the best sounding guitar yet. I have played Les Paul copies, other super-strats, anything on the market pretty much but this has simply blown me away.
