Built for Blazing-hot Solos and Manic Riffing

With its glam-rock good looks, shred-friendly feel, and incendiary tone, the Jackson X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS is a tone chaser’s dream axe. Featuring a Jackson Speed profile neck capped with compound-radius laurel fingerboard, the X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS is built for blazing-hot solos and manic riffing. Plus, the HSS pickup configuration opens up a sea of tonal options, from spanky single-coil sounds to crunchy humbucker thunder. For whammy wizards, the X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS comes equipped with a Floyd Rose Special, an officially licensed version of the ubiquitous double-locking tremolo bridge system preferred by guitarists at Sweetwater. If you’re in need of an affordable guitar that’s able to handle heavy technical playing, then you can’t go wrong with the X Series Dinky DK3XR from Jackson!

Compound-radius fingerboard: the best of both worlds

The X Series Dinky DK3XR sports a compound-radius laurel fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12-inch radius that keeps things comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out — providing you with the best of both worlds.

Optimized electronics give you a staggering range of tones

The X Series Dinky DK3XR sports an electronics setup that stokes your sonic arsenal with massive tonal range. For those chimey, spanky S-style sounds, you have single-coils in the neck and middle position, right where you want them. Smoldering at the bridge, you have a muscular high-output Jackson humbucker waiting to do some serious damage. With the 5-way blade selector, you have access to myriad tones, whether you’re chugging, shredding, or anything in between.

Floyd Rose tremolo dive-bombs with the best of them

For expressive performance, the Jackson X Series Dinky DK3XR comes armed with a Floyd Rose Special. This double-locking tremolo is exclusively crafted for Floyd Rose, maintaining a feel and response akin to their classic designs, while utilizing zinc alloy saddles and a zinc alloy sustain block. Thanks to this trem, the Dinky DK3XR tolerates depraved amounts of whammy bar abuse without going out of tune. So, shriek, flutter, squeal, dive-bomb, make crazy animal sounds — the Dinky DK3XR is equipped for it all.

Jackson X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS Electric Guitar Features:

  • Lightweight solidbody electric guitar tailored to metal guitarists and technical players
  • Compound-radius fingerboard yields ultra-fast playability
  • Dual Jackson custom single-coil pickups and a single bridge humbucker deliver versatile, hard-hitting tone
  • Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo for twisting, bending, and dive-bombing
  • Inverted pearloid shark fin fingerboard inlays and aggressive-looking black hardware
  • Matching reverse pointed headstock with attention-grabbing classic Jackson logo

Sounds and plays fine, but I'm pretty disappointed if I'm being honest

I love the colors of these Jackson X series Dinkys. I got mine in Green and Pink and was ready to start shredding. When I first received my guitar in November of 2021, I noticed that the bridge pickup would cut out a bit when switching pickups. So, I just moved the selector back and forth a bunch to clear out any oxidation. The problem just got worse and worse over time to where the bridge pickup would just not work unless you were pushing down towards the ground on the 5 way switch forcing contact. Deoxit wasn't working either. So, I reached out to Sweetwater, and they of course were fantastic. My rep offered to pay for a repair at a local shop even. But, the turnaround time at the shop was long and I wanted a project. So, we decided that they would just send me a new 5 way switch, but this time a Fender Style 5 way blade switch vs. the cheap import PCB board one that came with the guitar. The wires inside the electronics cavity were trimmed just to fit the old setup, so I almost ran out of lead wire from my neck pickup, but made it work nonetheless. Then it came time to put the body cavity cover back on. I remember when I took it off, it was jammed in the indentation of the body so tightly that I had to use a tip of a corkscrew in one of the screw holes and some force to even pop it off. Basically the cover is slightly too big for it to go back on. I had to bust out sandpaper and thin the edges to be able to re-seat it. I have no idea how they got it to fit at the factory. Same issue for the tremolo spring cavity too btw.

Anyway, now the switch works, and the switch cavity cover is back on, and I'm going to play it. It actually sounds pretty good for the price. This is my first Floyd Rose so I'm learning to work with that. But, then neck is solid and fast. I actually like the guitar, I just don't think you should have to have a project guitar for a retail price of $600. I know the X series is made in Indonesia and they have more quality control issues for some of these smaller details, but come on, for that price everything should at least work and the pieces should fit together.

I only give it 2 stars for the quality control. If it didn't have the switch issues or sizing issues of the body cavity covers I would probably have given it 4 stars.
