Jackson’s JS Dinky Minion JS1X solidbody electric guitar combines Jackson’s legendary playability with a short scale length suitable to any player. This 2/3-scale poplar guitar produces high-output growl thanks to the two Jackson humbucking pickups. You’ll also notice killer sustain, courtesy of the hardtail bridge and string-through body that players at Sweetwater love. This Dinky is complete with a reinforced maple neck and fingerboard that’s at home crunching out riffs or producing searing leads. When you add it all up, the reinforced neck, resonant body, and hot pickups will allow you to rock out in your bedroom or onstage without worry. The Jackson JS Dinky Minion JS1X solidbody electric guitar is a great choice for any player.





High-output pickups and classic controls





The Jackson JS RR Minion JS1XM comes loaded with two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups that have a variety of tonal options. These high-output pickups are voiced to provide a full, sustaining tone that sounds great no matter if you’re playing clean or dirty. With the onboard 3-way blade switch and master volume and tone knobs, you can play screaming leads or create crunchy riffs.





Fast neck and jumbo frets





The JS1X Dinky features a maple neck that feels freakishly fast in your hands. The 12" radius maple fingerboard is complete with 24 jumbo frets and Jackson’s classic shark fin inlays. This guitar plays so smoothly, you won’t realize you’re ripping a solo until it’s too late.
