Jackson Brings 1984-style Metal Magic to the Fore
A high-performance shredder with style to spare, this Jackson Custom Shop Dinky DK1 Floyd Rose ’84 looks like it time-hopped straight out of Pasadena, California, circa the mid-’80s. This solidbody electric guitar boasts an ergonomically contoured Dinky body, which is reinforced by the model’s trademark bolt-on construction, yielding a pronounced high-end attack and a snappy response tailor-made for fast-paced playing. This Dinky DK1 includes a quarter-sawn maple neck, which is given a slick hand-rubbed urethane gel finish and capped with a lightning-fast compound-radius ebony fingerboard crowned with 24 jumbo-sized, stainless steel frets. Paired with a cranked high-gain amplifier, this axe’s DiMarzio Super Distortion melds hard rock muscle and high-output humbucker tone into a veritable wall of sound that’s ideal for metal and metal-adjacent genres. You also get resilient Gotoh locking tuning machines and a Floyd Rose Original 1984 double-locking tremolo, enabling you to vent your pent-up pitch pyrotechnics without sacrificing your tuning stability. Jackson’s Custom Shop in California crafted this Custom Shop Dinky DK1 Floyd Rose ’84, topping it off with shark fin fingerboard inlays, a color-matched headstock featuring an ’80s-style graffiti yellow inlay, and a durable urethane finish.
High-octane performance and playability
Players with high-performance demands will be duly impressed by this Custom Shop Dinky DK1 Floyd Rose ’84. For starters, this fabulous instrument boasts a Dinky-shaped body meticulously sculpted from a solid slab of alder. This Dinky DK1’s quarter-sawn maple neck and its 24-fret, compound-radius ebony fingerboard offer next-level playability. This guitar’s bolt-on construction delivers a super-unobtrusive heel shape and lightning-fast response, perfect for fast, fluid playing. There’s a reason why so many shred-obsessed guitarists rate the Jackson Dinky as their number-one weapon for insane leads, sudden-death riffs, and other high-flying fretboard hijinks.
Amp-punishing DiMarzio humbucker
This Jackson Custom Shop Dinky DK1 Floyd Rose ’84 serves up beastly tones through its scorching-hot DiMarzio Super Distortion bridge humbucker. This high-potency pickup will push your tube amp into red-hot overdrive with its muscular, heavy-hitting, ultra-high output. Guitarists at Sweetwater are impressed by the sheer power and tone this pickup delivers. Both single notes and chords sound massive, featuring a mix-annihilating mid-boost, searing highs, and fat lows.
Built for dive-bombs and squealies
This Custom Shop Dinky DK1 Floyd Rose ’84 holds up to sadistic whammy abuse without choking, thanks to its Floyd Rose Original 1984 double-locking tremolo. Taken from the original design specs from 1984, this Floyd is fully capable of subtle, expressive warbles; although, that’s probably not what you’re shooting for. Never fear; this lean, mean shredder also tackles screaming harmonic squeals and subterranean dive-bombs with equal assurance. Even better, this trem’s double-locking design delivers super-reliable tuning stability while enabling seemingly endless sustain. Want to brutalize your whammy bar? If so, this Dinky is more than happy to accommodate you.
