The body is made of okoume, a lightweight tone wood that combines an attractive appearance similar to mahogany with the brightness and definition of maple.The okoume body’s light weight makes it a pleasure to play for hours on end, and the guitar remains perfectly balanced when playing in a standing position. This is a speed guitar with an extremely fast-playing slim neck profile, and the neck heel might be the most “invisible” example I’ve ever encountered from a bolt-on instrument.
JACKSON DINKY DK2 SKULLS PRO
The Pro Series DK2’s playability is everything guitarists have come to know and love about Jackson guitars. At performance volume levels, I found I could get a wide variety of clean and overdrive tones just with the guitar’s pickups and controls. On my Friedman Pink Taco, the bridge pickup was already overdriving the amp at the lowest gain setting, while the single-coil settings were spanking clean. The bridge humbucker is very powerful but clear, with a bold midrange and focused bass that rock hard. Perhaps a handful of players will miss the middle/dual-humbucker setting, but I very much find the funky, honking dual single-coil tone a much better alternative (go ahead, try to resist playing “Free Ride” after you select the middle setting). Instead of employing push-pull pots to engage single-coil tones, those settings are instantly accessible with the blade selector switch. You can find these pretty cheap on eBay and other forums out there.PERFORMANCE What I admire the most about the Pro Series DK2 is how it combines a very stripped-down, streamlined aesthetic with a surprisingly versatile selection of tones, thanks to its Seymour Duncan pickups and a very well-conceived pickup-wiring scheme. I'd recommend buying it used to save even more money. The guitar is a great guitar, and if you're looking for a good Jackson without shelling out tons of money, this might be the guitar you're looking for. The one thing worth noting is that they're not exactly the highest output pickups in the world, so while they work quite nice for cleans and low/mid gain stuff, they can be a bit of a pain for soloing with high gain. The STKs in the neck and middle are pretty cool, and they're hum canceling too. It isn't perfect, and it can get a bit bright at times, especially in this configuration, but it's still a very solid pickup, and there's a reason why so many guitar manufacturers utilize it. If you want to play everything from blues to death metal, this is your pickup. The JB in the bridge is the all-around pickup that can do pretty much any genre you can think of. The guitar has a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge with two STK1 singles in the neck and middle. The neck joint was nice and tight, so there were no issues there. The fretwork ont his is fairly solid, although the USA models tend to be a touch better in terms of the beveled ends of the frets. It's a fairly good bridge, but I almost wonder at times if the real Schaller is a little better. The floyd on this is actually a licensed floyd rose that happens to be a Schaller clone. There were no issues with this graphic at all, but I believe it might actually be a graphic that was placed on top of the guitar rather than actually being air brushed. The first thing you look at is the finish. The guitar was put together quite nicely.
The guitar has the following specs:Ģ4 extra jumbo frets with sharkfin inlays It can be a bit too "metal" at times given what's going on, but I'm sure most people who are going to buy this guitar are more into metal than any other genre. This one in particular features a special graveyard/skull scenery painted on it, and it looks great. The Dinky DK2 is probably one of their more popular Dinky models.
