Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 Electric Guitar

Shred-Ready Superstrat with Premium Features

The Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 is a high-performance Superstrat electric guitar from Jackson’s Pro Series, designed for modern metal, rock, and shred players across Australia. Featuring an ash or okoume body, bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement, and Seymour Duncan humbuckers, it delivers versatile, high-output tones with exceptional playability. Available in finishes like Granite Crystal, Baked White, and Green Glow, it’s celebrated for its sculpted heel, compound radius, and value, making it a staple for stage and studio.

High-Quality Performance

The DK2 is engineered for speed and tonal versatility:

• Body: Ash or okoume for a bright, resonant tone with punchy mids and clear highs. The double-cutaway Dinky shape offers ergonomic comfort and easy upper-fret access.
• Pickups: Seymour Duncan JB™ TB-4 (bridge) and ’59™ SH-1N (neck) humbuckers provide aggressive crunch and smooth leads. Wired for coil-splitting, they offer single-coil-like tones for cleans and blues.
• Neck: Bolt-on maple Speed Neck with graphite reinforcement for stability, a 12″-16″ compound radius ebony fingerboard, and 24 jumbo frets for effortless bends and solos.
• Bridge: Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double-locking tremolo for dive-bombs and tuning reliability.
• Controls: Master volume, no-load tone, and 5-way switch for wide tonal range.

Users praise its build and tone, with Guitar World stating, “The Pro Series Dinky DK2 is a hell of a bargain for players who need awesome humbucking and single-coil tones” []. MusicRadar highlights its “super slim neck profile” for 80s shred []. Some note the thin neck may not suit larger hands, and the Floyd Rose requires setup for optimal stability.
