Jackson Dinky JS22 DKA unboxing and review (my 106th guitar). It’s a great axe and affordable

[@anthonydeas2173]

From the guy who walked past at 5 mins in, I'll try and appear in more videos from the nest... 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

hahah

[@krautworks]

Got myself a JS32 as my first guitar. It was a lot of money for me but I got to compare it to other models from different brands in the store - and the Jackson pickups were just so much better! Also appreciate that all Jackson guitars just have "Jackson" put on their headstocks, no budget line markings or anything.

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Nice!! Happy for you and thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@Jay-st6sl]

Niiiice.🤘 I swear, the quality of the JS line from Jackson is shockingly good. They deliver alot of guitar for the price they go for.

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Totally agree Jay, cost the same as a Squier affinity! Crazy. Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏻

[@nomadwolfox2140]

its almost criminal.

[@yasar5797]

I had this one. complete metal machine and the most comfortable neck I've ever used, I miss it :(

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

I’d forgotten how nice these actually. Really glad I bought another one. You’ll have to try and get another one too Yasar

[@idealmethod]

This has been my main axe for a year now, hesitant about buying a cheap guitar but this is the best guitar i have bought in 20 years of playing guitar. dont think about it buy it. its a perfect build perfect neck. if it were not for the plastic nut it would be a 10/10. Just ordered a js32 coming this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Great to read! Such good value for money too. My only gripe really is the tuners but that can be said of guitars costing 2-3 times! Thank you for commenting and watching, much appreciated

I have to say I REALLY like the look of that guitar with the while body and very dark fretboard…. What a looker 😍 Big trem block too 😲👍 15 kohm in resistance on the bridge is perfect for shedding with some lead tone 🤘7-8 kohm is perfect for cleans on the neck 👍

I ABSOLUTELY love Jackson. From JS22 up. I have this white one with D’addorio locking tuners and white EMG 81/85’s on it. White humbucker rings around the EMG’s. 😍 I also own the natural wood JS22, a Satin Black JS32 and the American Virtuoso in Satin Black.

Awesome! Amazing value and lovely necks ! Thanks for tuning in 🙌🏻

[@greenslider]

Love Jackson necks. Nothing comes close for my emaciated paws

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Yes I’m loving it too!!!

[@hotelalphawhiskeykilogrunt7925]

Everyone has their own favorites some do it because of value only I personally don’t give a 💩 about how much it cost imo Jackson is my favorite and best guitars to play I love them ! I have the Flying V a king V a dinky and and a Kelly JS32 in Snow White the dinky 22 is a phenomenal guitar sounds great from factory to!

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

The Snow White is just gorgeous too!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Metallex]

I take full responsibility for you buying a white Jackson! :D Quite surprised you managed to find a new JS22, I've been looking at the updated JS24 model for a mod guitar to mess around with. You'll have to let us know how you feel about the compound radius fretboard, but these guitars are annoyingly good value. If you're after an affordable shred machine, you really can't go wrong with these if a super thin Ibanez neck isn't your thing. Shred \m/

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

I like the neck. I’ve had 2 before and enjoyed them both. I love white guitars but if of stock most places. This one came from Peach Guitars as did the Starla. I’m looking forward to getting to know it again but right now I’m thinking it’s a win!

[@j765n_]

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Awww thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Means the world to me, thank you. I have a playlist with lots of my novice guitar reviews (50+ I think now) so feel free to have a look. What kind of guitars and music are you in to?

[@martyldl6238]

I love the look of the dinky and would of had one if it had a 5way selector like the ibanez rg421, where you can have the 2 inner coils for a stratty tone.

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Hi Marty That’s a fair point. Still get some good tones from this but obviously not as versatile. Prefer the neck on the Jackson though, it’s lovely

[@czardokken5144]

[@Johnny4Clover]

I've had mine since about 2016, a black left hand. Hard to find anything lefty, so i scooped it when I saw it. The neck is lovely, indeed. Hadn't played it in years, but had it setup recently. Any thoughts on a nut for it? Been thinking of swapping with gotoh tuners as well.

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Thanks for sharing. Tuners well worth an upgrade I think, weakest point of the guitar. Maybe lube the net and get roller trees and, easier than a new nut and should do the job

[@chrisclarke1965]

I'm thinking about getting this guitar but I want to put some nazgul and sentient pickups in it. Wondering if that would fix the issue with the tone

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Hi Chris, the neck on these are gorgeous and the body comfortable too so I’d say it’s worth spending a little cash on it 👍🏻

[@mikemike6096]

I got one yesterday, frets were horribly ruff. I'll be replacing the budget strings and tuners and polishing frets. I mean it's dirt cheap, so be prepared to do some work and a few upgrades.

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Fair points Mike, good guitar for the money. You like the neck?

[@alekandamek]

If you like Jackson's necks - which I love, but some people seem to find them odd - you can buy these guitars without thinking about it, even better if second hand. CNC cut bodies are really good nowdays and onewood is irrelevant in electric guitars What really matters is having a great neck and a good bridge. Of course they'll need a setup if you can't do that on your own and with the time you can (you will do that if really want to enjoy this guitar) swap bridge and maybe pickups.

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Agree, the neck is the most important part for me 👍🏻

[@LookieChannel]

Oh Rich, how are you doing that, just in time while I was eyeballing one! Inconspicious little guitars with great necks aren't they. I like howJackson is backing up their name with no factory-second trem size, no secondary brand (Fender-Squier or Gibson-Epi), even the pickups state full Jackson name.....seems they dont have anything to be ashamed for? :) Still I think they are kinda dedicated heavy guitars, I think it's the similar type of guitar like Bullet Mustang, these just like high gain, the higher the better....but ..how you like it for some blues-rock music? Had a lot of fun this time, specially when you were fighting the packaging and WFT moment 5:35s :D :D Looking forward for some serious tone demos :) :)

[@thenovicenoisemaker]

Yes I think Jackson are doing a good job at lower price points, better than many as you say. I'll play you some clean tones, you'll be surprised how well it cleans up. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
