| Quality:
| its good, but I put in a pair of emg zw pickups and an origional floyd rose and now its one of the best guitars ive played! great action that would be expected of a jackson and an awsome tone. |
| Reliability:
| I have had this guitar for several months and its built to last! |
| Overall:
| with a little modification you get a great shred axe |
| Playability and Feel:
| its a Jackson the real origional shred axe what else is there to say only that its cheap and reliable! |
| Tone:
| I didnt really care for the old pickups Im more into actives like emg or blackouts. |
| Finish:
| I like the inferno red because it dosent really show scratches or dust. |
| Action:
| I love jackson guitars every one that Ive ever owned had amazing action straight out of the box but Im picky and set them down to 1 mm. |

| Quality:
| Don't let the price fool you. This is a really well made guitar. Over the years I have had a lot of cool guitars that costed 2 and 3 times more than this one, but this DK2M Dinky is truely one of the best I've ever owned. |
| Reliability:
| Not one failure of any kind. |
| Overall:
| I couldn't be happier with it. Intended to use it as a 2nd stage guitar for songs where I needed a trem, but I like it so much that it has become my main stage guitar. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Plays smooth and fast. Ultra low action. Feels solid and comfortable. |
| Tone:
| I run a very saturated tone and the highs still ring through on full chords. The sustain is killer! Roll back the volume knob a bit and it sweetens up without killing your tone. You can just flat punish the bar and it holds tune. |
| Finish:
| I have the white one. The thing looks fantastic! |
| Action:
| The action was pretty good out of the box, but I think it was strung with 9's. I run 11's and tune back 1/2 step. So I had to completely reset the guitars trem spring tension and I lowered the action. Plays like a wet dream man. The intonation was and still is "perfect"! |

| Quality:
| I've always had good luck with Jacksons. They are well made, especially the ones from Japan like this one. |
| Reliability:
| I've only had it a month but it seems reliable. I've got other jacksons and they have all held up without any problems. |
| Overall:
| I love this guitar! it's my favorite Jackson (I have 3 others). Great combination of price and performance. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Super thin neck that is better than an Ibanez Wizard 2. It reminds me of the old Jacksons from the 80's. The compound radius makes for super low action. Maple fretboards are my favorite and this one is great. |
| Tone:
| The JB and Jazz pickups give fantastic tone, good balance between lows and highs. The maple makes the tone livelier than rosewood and notes have a good snap. |
| Finish:
| I got the black one and the finish is flawless. As good if not better than my $2,000 Gibson for 1/3 the price. |
| Action:
| The setup was nearly perfect out of the box. I adjusted the action slightly lower just because I'm very picky. I could have used it just as it came though. |
