Players searching for no-nonsense, workhorse instruments suited for rock and metal turn to the Jackson JS series with confidence. The JS22 Dinky checks all the boxes for a gig-ready, hot-rodded guitar: a lightweight poplar body with a 2-point tremolo, a pair of Jackson high-output humbucking pickups, a slick, satin-finished maple neck, and an amaranth fingerboard with a 12–16-inch compound radius that encourages hours of playing time, whether you’re playing standard open chords or intensely fast solos. The JS22 Dinky makes for an excellent performance instrument, whether it’s your first or 10th guitar.
