In this video I'll be taking a look at the brand new Jackson X Series Dinky DK3XR. This is an incredibly 80s looking guitar in an amazing Cobalt Blue finish with hot pink pickups. It screams hair metal, which I love!
The guitar is a Poplar body with a maple neck and laurel fingerboard. It's a thin, fast satin neck with 24 Jumbo frets and a 12-16" compound radius fretboard. Very hard to believe this guitar sits at around the £500 price point. It's Indonesian made and feels similar to my Jackson Adrian Smith SDX model.
The guitar is loaded with Jacksons own pickups in an HSS formation, coupled with the 5 way switch you can pretty much get any tone you want from this. The only thing tonally I didn't like was the sound of the tone control being rolled off. It becomes too muddy and boomy for my taste, but, you don't buy a guitar like this to roll the tone down!
The Jackson licenced Floyd Rose holds tune well and the guitar plays with ease. It's perfect for living out your 1980s hair metal dreams!
In the video I am plugged straight into the Hughes & Kettner Black Spirit 200 which is running out of the RedBox DI via an XLR Cable direct into my audio interface. The RedBox DI is running an IR of a Vintage 4x12 cab.
