Experience Jackson Speed and Fury

The Jackson JS22 Dinky solidbody electric guitar was made to create sonic mayhem. The amazingly affordable JS22 Dinky serves up massive tone and killer sustain courtesy of its arched basswood body, tremolo tailpiece, and two high-output ceramic humbuckers. You'll appreciate the playability of the maple speed neck and fat-fretted, compound-radius amaranth fingerboard that allows you to transition more easily between rhythm and lead playing. Whether it's your first electric guitar or you're simply looking for a great value, you'll be impressed with the Jackson JS22 Dinky.

Jackson high-output pickups deliver aggressive tone

Looking for rock-solid metal tone? The Jackson JS22 Dinky delivers. That's because Jackson equips the JS22 Dinky with a pair of their custom-built ceramic-magnet humbuckers. These high-output humbuckers give you plenty of punch and serious bite whether you're plugging into a tube amp or using amp modeling. We've played a lot of guitars at Sweetwater, and we're impressed with the bang for your buck the JS22 Dinky offers.

Compound-radius fretboard delivers maximum playing comfort and performance

The JS22 Dinky features a 12–16-inch compound-radius fretboard for ultimate playability. This bound amaranth fingerboard (complete with classic Jackson shark fin inlays) is rounder near the nut for easy rhythm playing. As your playing heats up and moves up the JS22 Dinky's fretboard, the radius flattens out for easier runs and big string bends. With a neck that plays this slick, you'll be up at the 24th fret before you know it.

Classic Jackson looks and attitude

If you're after a guitar that looks as mean as it sounds, the Dinky body shape alone is enough to convey instant attitude. Factor in the arched top, Jackson's distinctive headstock, black hardware, and shark fin inlays, and you've got one confrontational-looking guitar.

Jackson JS22 Dinky Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • A high-performance guitar for an amazingly low price
  • Lightweight and resonant basswood Dinky body conveys instant attitude
  • Dual Jackson custom humbuckers with ceramic magnets deliver hard-hitting high-gain tone
  • Compound-radius amaranth fingerboard feels great for rhythm and lead playing
  • Fretboard binding for a smoother playing feel
  • Slender graphite-reinforced maple neck plays fast and smooth
  • 2-point tremolo tailpiece for maximum expressive potential

Reviews

Great guitar for the price point
Feels great, holds notes really well, and looks awesome doing it. Naturally, like with all new guitars in this price range, you will have to adjust some things and maybe even restring; but that's not too bad. For $, pick it up!
Upgrades are a must
Bought this guitar over a year ago and slowly picked up parts for a major upgrade
I more than doubled the price of the guitar with the cost of parts. When it was all done the only thing Original is the neck and body.
Awsome Guitar
I really love this guitar. It is comfortable and plays really well. I've had mine for about a year and the only thing I had to replace was the strings. Defiantly really good for it's price and good overall. The pickups are surprisingly good for the price.
This guitar is killer! It's changed how I play even as does each guitar you pick up! I can't even believe the price I got this guitar for. Such a sweet guitar and I cannot stop playing it! I had to upgrade to chunkier strings than what came from the factory but who even cares!! Get you a dinky!!!
Music background: Music creator for 12+ years.
Great 7 String
This is a very nice beginners seven string guitar. I know this is considered a budget guitar. However, the quality and look are very nice. Great sound for a great price!
