Jackson JS Series Dinky JS11 - Black with Amaranth Fingerboard

This guitar is well built. No fret sprouting and handles nicely. It is noted for it's high output humbuckers suited for heavy metal, but this thing has a beautiful clean tone and bright articulate highs. I play standards, ballads, 50's/60's and soft rock as a single at nursing homes and it suits me well.

It is very comfortable to play , Love it . Was a little beat up from shipping but , at 54 , I am too . Doesn't feel or sound cheap . Get one , you will love it .

I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed in this Jackson. I watched some reviews on this guitar and saw many positives mentioned. So I thought, for $159, I’ll take the gamble. This guitar came packed extremely well, it came out of the box virtually in tune. The frets in my opinion are beautiful. No sharp edges at all all the way up the board. I recently sent a Fender Player Series Strat back (yes I know Fender owns Jackson which blows my mind even more) because it arrived single boxed, poor action and sloppy fret work. So it astonishes me that I can pull a $159 guitar out of the box with no complaints and have it feel and play like a much more expensive guitar. WELL DONE on the JS11 Jackson Guitars. Any new player can have extreme confidence in this axe.

I purchased this guitar to try and regain flexibility with my hands. I started playing guitar when was 8, played until I was 40, when arthritis attacked me. 23 years later I have been encouraged by my granddaughter to begin playing again. This Jackson, my first, is remarkable for the price. I removed it from the boxes, pulled out the tools and began to set the guitar up. Frets-not perfect, had to sand edges. . Everything is lined up properly. Pickups sound OK. Everything checked out. I will be replacing the tuners with Wilkinson and the strings with D'addario. The Jackson Js11 is a fantastic little shredder, but Jackson could have paid a little more attention to the fret work

Excelente Guitarra! La compré en black friday por 135 USD + Taxes y la envié a mi casillero en Miami (condorbox.com) y la traje a Colombia. Llegó en perfectas condiciones, la verdad es que me sorprendió ya que tuve una jackson muy similar a esta en el año 2008 y esta version a pesar de ser el mismo modelo que la anterior que tuve me parece que la construcción está mucho mejor, se siente muy muy bien, la recomiendo sin duda alguna. Solo le hace falta agregarle unos seymour duncan y listo, tremenda guitarra. lml

Packaging was solid and when I pulled it out of all the wrapping, it was beautiful and with a little tuning it was ready to play the action was nicely set for my style of play.

Had to use wood glue to fix the piece that was broken off on the tip put the tuning pegs back on put strings back on and it works but the dude at the post office has some anger issues and decided to take it out on this guitar lol I feel that because of the condition it showed up in I should at least get a 40% refund.

Very nice guitar for its price solid sound and a very nice body.
