Value-packed Jackson Performance

The Jackson JS32 Dinky solidbody electric guitar conveys instant attitude both sonically and visually. The amazingly affordable JS32 Dinky serves up thick, snarling tone and prodigious sustain, courtesy of its resonant, lightweight poplar body, arched top, and two high-output humbuckers. You'll appreciate the smooth playability of the maple speed neck. And the fully bound compound-radius fretboard is great for chording down low, and bending up high without fretting out. A real Floyd Rose licensed double-locking tremolo bridge completes the package, making the Jackson JS32 Dinky a guitar any serious player can love.

Jackson high-output pickups deliver aggressive tone

Looking for rock-solid metal tone? The Jackson JS32 Dinky delivers. That's because Jackson equips the JS32 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 you get with the JS32 Dinky.

Compound-radius fretboard delivers maximum playing comfort and performance

The JS32 Dinky features a 12"-16" 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 JS32 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.

Double-locking tremolo bridge gives you serious performance and stability

Are you the kind of guitarist who likes to grab the whammy bar and really lay into those bends? Good thing you're looking at a Jackson. Even this humble JS32 Dinky features Jackson's epic build quality, which includes a Floyd Rose-licensed double-locking tremolo that's so stable, you'll never have to worry about your intonation. So, go ahead, wail away — your Jackson JS32 Dinky can take it.

Jackson JS32 Dinky Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • A high-performance guitar for an amazingly low price
  • Dual Jackson custom humbuckers deliver hard-hitting high-gain tone
  • Compound-radius amaranth fingerboard feels great for rhythm and lead playing
  • Double-locking Floyd Rose licensed tremolo provides epic stability that can stand up to serious abuse
  • Slender graphite-reinforced maple neck for a fast feel and long-term reliability

Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA

Saw this in a local store and fell in love with it! Recently purchased a used 1991 charvel dinky that I did a full fretboard setup and upgraded pickups and wiring. I just wasn't too happy with the sound of it and decided to sell it as parts. This 2020 dinky is made in China as opposed to the 91' that was made in Japan. The neck on the China dinky feels so smooth with a light satin finish. Fret ends were smooth. I usually need to file the ends and do a full setup. On this guitar I used scotchbrite over the frets and fretboard to give a nice finish. Then used 2000 fine black oxide sandpaper to polish frets. They were initially dull looking. I used orange oil on fretboard. While that soaked in, I removed the Floyd select tremelo and installed a floyd rose big brass block in place of the stock zinc block. I installed 2 heavy duty noiseless springs in place of the 3 stock springs. Using 9 gauge d' Addario strings, it took an hour adjusting the floyd until it floated parallel to the body and stayed in tune. What a difference with this upgrade! Now I need to replace both tiny potentiometers with full size pots. Stock pickups sound really good, but brite like a strat. Must be the ceramic magnets. Tone control helps to lessen the brightness. This guitar blew away the older 91' even before my mods.

this guitar is well built and so easy to play. I own many guitars and I still grab this guitar most times to play. It sounds great and is just so comfortable to play and pickups are decent and responsive. the Floyd Trem sets up easy and stay in tune very well. Iam very satisfied with it.
I definitely recommend this guitar .

great axe for the money!

First off, I have to express my appreciation for Sweetwater and it's staff. The level of service and commitment to customer satisfaction they provide blows the competition out of the water. Sweetwater Sound & Bryan Leo are now my first consideration when I am in the market for a new guitar or music equipment.
My Jackson JS32 DKA in Pavo Purple arrived exceptionally fast and double boxed, when I opened my package the guitar was in perfect condition and almost in perfect tune! The fit and finish is on par with a guitar valued at more than twice the price point. When playing through a clean channel the guitar each note rings out perfectly through the stock pups, add a little overdrive and this thing will growl! The color! it's even more beautiful in person, I love how Sweetwaer posts photos of the actual guitar you are buying. I would recommend this guitar for any playing level, it's price point is attractive for a beginner or someone on a budget, the quality of the guitar is also suitable for an experienced player that is looking for a guitar that inspires metal and is looking for a good modification base.
5 stars from me \m/
