Fast neck construction
With the construction of the Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA-M BlackJackson follows the classic specifications for a metal guitar and manufactures the body from basswood, while the bolt-on neck is made of maple and carries a fingerboard made of the same material. Accordingly, the Jackson Dinky has a powerful, fat fundamental with a fast attack, which is made for riffs and solos. furthermore, the neck with the fast "speed neck" profile and the compound radius offers unhindered playability, which allows complex chords and riffs to come out of the fingers just as easily as fast solos.
Jackson High Output Humbucker
The electrical sound conversion of the Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA-M are two Jackson High Output humbuckers, which can fully convince with their powerful sound. The pickups flex their muscles especially in the distortion channel and present riffs and solos with tight precision and an assertive midrange spectrum that pushes every note through the band sound even with drop tunings. But the pickups are also convincing on the clean amp, where they transport melodies and chords with harmonious string separation and crystal-clear articulation.
Floyd Rose Licensed Tremolo
Last but not least, the Jackson JS32 Dinky DKA-M Black is equipped with a Floyd Rose Licensed Tremolo, which works thanks to the Double Locking construction with absolute tuning stability. Whether dive bombs, squeals or aggressive whammy bar attacks, the Vibrato easily handles any technique and convinces with a smooth response. At the headstock furthermore precise Jackson die-cast tuners ensure precise tuning processes and smooth string changes.

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 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.
