JACKSON DINKY DK2 LEFT HANDED PRO
With a street price under $1,000, the Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK2 is a hell of a bargain for players who need a wide variety of awesome humbucking and single-coil tones plus the incredible playability that have make Jackson guitars the shredder’s choice. The Seymour Duncan JB TB4 bridge and ’59 SH-1N humbuckers are wired to provide a wide variety of hard-rocking humbucker and funky single-coil tones.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. 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. The Dinky is a staple of the Jackson line, and the Pro Series DK2 is an even more refined iteration of this iconic model.
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). Theres quite a few Dinkies and this one is the only dedicated lefty in the line. Jacksons Pro series is one of the upscale series in the catalog and it is equipped with a selection of high quality guitars. Instead of employing push-pull pots to engage single-coil tones, those settings are instantly accessible with the blade selector switch. Transparent Blue Black DK2L Dinky '08 is the left-hand variant of the DK2 Dinky '08 model from the famous Pro series. 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.
