Jackson DK3XR - The Ultimate 80's Throwback With This Neon Pink X Series Model!

[@TheAdventChronicles]

One thing I love about PMT's demos is that even on affordable guitars like this they're not afraid to give the whammy bar a good wiggle, even on lower end double-locking systems such as this. This one sounded like it handled a bit of shaking pretty well!

[@shubhaankgupta6806]

How tf is a 1000 dollar guitar affordable for you???

[@TheAdventChronicles]

@@shubhaankgupta6806It’s £500. In guitar terms that’s considered affordable.

Love watching Dagan. Doesn't matter if the kit he is demoing is £50 or thousands, the energy, enthusiasm is totally contagious. A great reminder that as long as you love playing it doesn't matter what is in your hands. Keep up the great work

[@PMTVUK]

Thanks! 🤘

You can always tell when he truly likes a guitar. He just plays, plays, and plays without much taking.

[@nigelbelton4748]

What a blistering demo! Just love these videos by Dagan, and such wonderful facial expressions! Just watching Dagan play makes me want this guitar, and I want it now.

Literally just ordered one 😂 and I just finished a 12 hour shift,oh! And it’s 2:50am. Thanks Dagan

Wow! What a Series Of Guitars...My Wife & I Were at Long & Mcquade Yesterday & Let Me Tell You She Has Some Wonderful Taste In Guitars,She Was Looking Around & Spotted a JS32Q DKA HT Jackson Dinky In Green Burst! Took it Down Off The Wall...Played It For Like 15 Mins. Then Took That Bad Boy Home. A Happy Man am I ? 🤟😁 "Oh Yeah!" Killer Video Dagan As ALWAYS! 🫵😉 Sounding Great & To No Wonder You are Smiling....All The Time 🤷‍♂️😉😁✌️❤️🙏💣💥

[@chrollo0427]

I have ordered this guitar in black. I'm just patiently waiting for the delivery now. I've already ordered a lot of upgrades like a gotoh bridge and a new locking nut both in chrome to make the black pop. Then I got some neon green pu covers, and ordered the black cherry hollow point intonation system in green. I also got chrome green replacement screws, chrome green saddle blocks, and chrome green bridge posts for the gotoh bridge. I need to find some locking tuners, but I'm thinking I will have a guitar like no other when I'm done with my black and chrome green demon. Even with all the upgrades it still is cheaper than my pro-series Jackson. I could find some new pickups and still be under. Absolute steal at this price point if you want a sportscar you can turn into a Ferrari later on.

[@JohnyToGoodForSchool123]

Which new pickups use to upgrade?

[@jimmyx4599]

Your guitar playing is inspiring Dagan. It makes me want to go home and play the guitar all night. Great heavy metal playing awesome.

Do it!

[@grahamharding9396]

Great demo and well played Dagan!

[@garywallace1988]

I have the yellow version of this guitar. It's brilliant. I knew I'd have to upgrade the jackson floyd rose so I've put a gotoh 1996t in it which is a massive step up in quality. I'd highly recommend it as long as you know the original Jackson floyd rose will need replacing eventually as the knife edges wear quickly due to the softer metals used. I also plan on changing the pickups at some point.

[@JawkneeJay]

Are the stock pickups bad?

[@MattHealey.]

I’m in love with that ❤❤❤

[@lesterunwin]

got a feeling that shooting the video was interrupting you 😁

[@DreidMusicalX]

I'm from the 80's. I have the DK3M Pro flat matte black with maple neck, regular neck instead of the reverse. Duncans with real Floyd Rose and it just kicks ass! You can play nearly any style music you want to on these guitars. Im using it in my Queensryche video of Jet City Woman. Sorry I am not into pink though. I'm not a Barbie Boy. haha! I also just noticed that one has a 4 bolt pattern on the neck. Mine only has 3 and its angle cut. You can really eat the fret board with it cut away. Nice demo though!

[@babycatshifinvinyl6411]

I got this but am still struggling to tune it. I broke the smallest string out of the box. Now learning about the Floyd Rose and how to tune this. But the guitar looks like a MILLION bucks!

[@ray.a7343]

Just ordered one in blue sky with maple neck !

[@mham900]

Should have KEPT GOING with drop dead legs!!!

[@alessandromariotti6129]

I bought this guitar and I'm returning it back. It has problems on the fretboard, impossibile to make a good setup not even setting the action and the truss rod. Plus it looks really cheap when you hold it. There are better guitars for the same price.

[@rebuiltbyusn]

SORRY to PINK for me. Nice playing. Always a pleasure watching and learning from you.

[@GlorifyGodInEverything]

I would go for a js32. Same locking set up, same jackson pickups, same neck minus the reverse headstock. Only real difference is the JS32 comes in different colors, doesn't have reverse headstock and the JS32 is an arch top. The X Series is twice the money than a JS32 to have different colors, no arch top and a reverse headstock... $600 compared to $300 price difference doesn't justify anything when they are essentially the same guitar lol.

[@alessandromariotti6129]

They look the same, but have differences. It costs twice as much as the JS32 for a reason. Maybe better choice of woods and components? Just the fact that it has an extra PU and a different neck joint drives the price up a bit. The wood of the fretboard is also different. Surely it has better finishing than the JS32. All things that raise the price.

[@GlorifyGodInEverything]

@@alessandromariotti6129 I already looked into it. Both bolt on necks with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint. The fingerboard material isn't the same but it's not "better" at all, it's Laurel instead of Amaranth lol. Both have maple necks, both have floyd specials. Both are 24 fret with same scale length and board radius. Inlays are the same except the 600$ guitar has "inverted inlays" lol. Both have Jackson branded Die-Cast tuners. Same electronics inside except the 600$ guitar has a 5 position switch for the single coil pickups instead of a 3 position... One body is poplar and the other is Nyatoh which should not even move the price at all, i'm sure it's the cheapest Jackson could find for this new lineup... I honestly would prefer poplar because its more well known and even some really high end guitars use poplar for tone. Same humbucking bridge pickup, the 600$ guitar has two single coil pickups where as the 300$ has 2 dual coil humbucking pickups... These guitars should be the same price not even going to lie. The price is raised because of the HSS fender style 80's vibe which the neon colors say it all... They are trying to rip people off for wanting a more 80's style guitar. Nothing better about it than the JS32. You're paying for color and an HSS setup which shouldn't even move the price, it should just be a variant of the JS32

[@alessandromariotti6129]

@@GlorifyGodInEverything Out of curiosity I wrote directly to Jackson to find out why there was this price difference since the specifications are similar, this is their answer: "Aside from color finish options, pickup configuration and tone woods used. The JS32 is manufactured in China, whereas the Dk3XR is manufactured in Indonesia". As already mentioned higher build quality.

[@GlorifyGodInEverything]

@@alessandromariotti6129 Indonesia higher quality than China? lol no, both are very cheap places to have guitars manufactured and low end guitars across the board come from both Indonesia and China. I'm sure Jackson had a contract that different factories bid on, and whoever said they would build X amount of guitars for the lowest price got the contract which seems to be Indonesia... It's a business lol, and these guitar companies are not making money how they use to. At the end of the day, they are trying to profit as much as possible. It's just simple logic. I do have to add that China actually overall has better equipment for making guitars than Indonesia, I don't know factory specific, would be interesting to figure out which specific factory these Indonesia guitars are being made vs. the Chinese ones. It also wouldn't surprise me if over time these guitar builds are dropped and picked back up at other factories.

[@JohnyToGoodForSchool123]

Yes Jackson got us… unfortunately there is not any other Jackson hss with a below price, also the color. Hahaha… that is enough for me, Anyway, I wouldn’t not buy the js32 becaus the pickups config, two humbuckers are bored config
