The Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA-M Black is an ideal entry-level electric guitar for the next generation of metal players, brought to you by the American hard 'n' heavy pioneers. Designed for speed and precision, it features a fast-playing neck, two powerful Jackson High Output humbuckers, and a Floyd Rose® Licensed Double-Locking Tremolo system for divebombs and squeals with reliable tuning stability. This guitar delivers everything aspiring shredders need to unleash their full potential.
The Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA-M Black follows the time-tested blueprint of a classic metal guitar. Its body is crafted from basswood, known for its balanced tone and strong low-end response, while the bolt-on maple neck with a matching maple fretboard delivers bright attack and snap. This tonewood combination provides a powerful, punchy fundamental that’s ideal for both crushing riffs and soaring solos. The fast-playing Speed Neck profile and compound radius fretboard ensure exceptional playability across the entire neck, making intricate chords and rapid-fire lead work feel effortless.
The Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA-M is equipped with a pair of Jackson High Output humbuckers delivering a powerful, assertive tone that shines across a range of styles. These pickups truly come into their own on high-gain settings, offerting tight precision, a punchy midrange and excellent note definition – even in drop tunings. Whether you're chugging through heavy riffs or tearing into solos, the sound remains clear and cutting. On clean settings, the humbuckers continue to impress, providing crystal-clear articulation and excellent string separation, making chords and melodies sound rich and defined.
Last but not least, the Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA-M Black comes equipped with a Floyd Rose Licensed Double-Locking Tremolo system, delivering exceptional tuning stability even under the most extreme playing conditions. Whether you're performing dive bombs, squeals, or aggressive whammy bar techniques, the tremolo responds smoothly and reliably. At the headstock, Jackson die-cast tuners ensure precise tuning adjustments and make string changes quick and effortless.

The JS32Q HT is a surprisingly well made guitar for the 266€ music store is selling them.
I was after a guitar with high output pickups to record some metal riffs, and was looking at Ibanez RG/RGA/S series, but the Jackson seemed to offer a similar package for less money so ordered the JS32Q HT Dinky.
Pros:
- Well made
- The maple top looks good and makes this guitar look like a high end one.
- Light weight = can play standing for long hours without any shoulder/back pain
- Stock Jackson pickups are surprisingly good, clear and tight.
- Stays in tune well
- Hard tail is much easier to live with than a cheap floyd rose
Cons:
- The stock tuners are a bit flimsy and lack accuracy but they hold tuning well.
- Factory strings are absolute rubbish.
All in all for 266€ this is a very good guitar and does the job perfectly!
This guitar is really great and sounds good! Also wonderful colour. I can recommend this guitar.
This guitar is very affordable, and it has many interesting and attractive features.
The guitar was in need of some slight adjustments, specially in the FR bridge (which might not be the best implementation of the system, but is perfectly operable nonetheless).
It sounds perfectly fine too, but to be honest, the most prominent characteristic are the striking aesthetic qualities. The looks.
This is a truly gorgeous guitar, beautiful shape with vibrant colors. It's really a treat. It's worth every € just for that IMHO.
If you add great handling, and the super nice jackson neck (one of the most comfortable and fast neck designs out there)... I just can't complain.
So, summarizing, this is a decent sounding well built and wonderfully looking instrument.
