Jackson's bolt-on superstrat, the everyday shape in the range.
Watch
Why it matters
The Dinky takes the Soloist outline and makes it a bolt-on, which brings the price down and changes the response slightly. It appears at every level of the Jackson catalogue, from the JS starter models to the Pro and USA builds, so the name covers a wide spread of instruments. For players who want a Jackson shape without the price of a Soloist, it is the obvious starting point.
Note
Bolt-on 7/8-scale Soloist sibling; the workhorse Jackson.

Before you buy
