kingrein5, thanks for a well thought out and presented review. A breath of fresh air when compared to the usual rambling 'reviews' so often posted to YT. Also, I appreciate your concise, examples of what the Dinky can do -- good clean playing too!
I just bought this guitar. The guy i bought it of said he bought it to learn on and maybe played it 3 or 4 times and then just put in the gig bag and apparently it was just sitting there for years. I have the tobacco burst version. And this guitar in mint condition,you can tell it was barley used. When i first picked it up i thought it was a brand new guitar straight off the show room floor, that's how good of condition it was in. Needless to say,i love this guitar. It's my first Floyd Rose, but the guys at my local music shop did the onxe over on it, and they said it was good to go. I must have played it for hours when i first got. It's a fantastic guitar
I bought this guitar used less than a month ago. The guitar is literally 10 years old, and it still kicks ass. I don't know how it holds up to current-day Jacksons; I've never been much of a rig guy. I started playing guitar a very long time ago, left it for a very long time, and now I'm taking up playing guitar again. I want to get more serious about this, and I thought this would be the right guitar for the job. I THINK I made the right choice; I don't know. As I said, I'm not much of a rig guy. Anyway, I'm loving this guitar. It feels so much different from my old Epiphone. The neck is much thinner, and I never thought scale length would make that much of a difference, but well... it does, hahaha. Being able to downtune truly is cool; it just gives you many more sounds. I struggled so much to find a review of this guitar due to how old it is, but this video is just very good. Thank you. And for anyone out there wondering if this particular model is still being played nowadays, I want you to know that it is. It's being shown love; I just have to improve my playing, that's all, hahahaha
Thank you for your comments. I enjoyed the guitar very much during the time I owned it. Unfortunately, I had to sell it off a few years back. I can relate to your not being much of a "rig guy" as you could probably have guessed in my demo. I just kept it simple going through the amp with nothing in between. Thanks again for your comments and viewing my video.
I have one in white. Replaced the pickups with a Seymour Duncan Distortion Bridge and DiMarzio Liquifire Neck. Gave some shielding and now my guitar has a awesome tone and singing leads. I was surprised how much potential this guitar could show when you tinker it. A 300 dollar guitar sounding like a 2000 dollar custom shop model. Badass. \m/ Awesome review man. Never regretted getting it.
i've had the js32t kelly for 2 years now, and i have to say that the js series are extremely good for what you pay. the neck has all the jackson feeling, the pickups are pretty good as well, and the build quality is very solid. in terms of sound: the indian cedro body wont make it a permanent choice if you are audiophile, it's a bit dull sounding compared to mahogany/maple combination guitars for exemple. still a good guitar, i didnt regret buying it at all. full recommendation for beginners!
I'm really into buying these guitar but i have some things that i'm sure about this guitar: does the floyd be stable? i'm an hard rock player (think skid row, evh, etc) and will a dimarzio x2n and air norton be good match to this guitar? I saw in the video that the floyds looks stable. good video
hi thanks for the review. im just wondering, what is that riff you are playing at about 5:60 into the video , where you are picking. even if it is just a few notes. would love to know what they are. thanks.
hey kingrein5, i like your review.. im just starting out playing. ive played a fender strat for about 5 months. and i just want something better sounding/ better metal playing guitar. iwas wondering if you think this is the right jackson model for me or not.. Also if you dont mind, i would like to ask how much one of these same guitars new goes for. Please do reply to this.
nice guitar and nice ted nugent demo. is the floyd rose good? cause im looking into this guitar but i wanna make sure this guitar has a good floyd rose
I have been waiting over a year for a review o this one and not the js32t I believe is what the one with the fixed bridge is, but anyway extremely helpful
I would reccomend this guitar i got it like 3 months ago and it is great, i am a heavy user of the floyd and it stays in tune for like a week its a great sounding one too
I have the very same one mine is the dinky pro 1997 made in Indonesia. Mine sounds great 👍but mine is identical love it. I gave 350 for mine it's 22 years old. Also I noticed yours has a little bit of a flame maple top finish. Mine is gloss black. Even has the reverse headstock.
I bought one of these, and it's very annoying that the volume control is directly under the bridge. I often hit it while playing live, so I removed it and turned my tone control into a volume control.
I'm looking into a mid ranged (300 - 500 bucks guitar) And I want to get the most amount of value for the price. I looked into this one and it seems really good. But I heard really mixed reviews about it. Some love it some say it's bad. Can anyone tell me if it is really good for the price or if there are better deals
@kingrein5 so whats the quality of the wood like? is this guitar worth selling my Dean C350F with a EMG 85 in the bridge? i wanna buy the string through body version though, so help me out? :)
@theDETLERS I own it, and it works perfect. But you may need to tighten up the lock nut screws on it when you get it. Mine was a little loose. After I tightened it, it stayed in perfect tune no matter what I do to it. Seriously dude, this guitar is amazing, you should buy it
@flowerdrop1 The Jackson bridges just need a bit more love than other floyds. I spent about a week getting to know the tension on mine. Now it stays in tune perfectly. I went from Drop C to C# about a week ago and I'm still perfectly in tune.
depends on how good its set up and on how frequently you use it. it's of course not a high quality trem, but as long as you dont abuse it for 15 minutes straight you'll be fine
I think I'm 'bout to buy this Jackson, and just wanted to ask for experiences. So, if anyone has this guitar, how well does this stay in tune, even if you play with the floyd rose?
I have a Jackson JS32 Dinky and I love it. Mine has a Tune-o-matic bridge with string-through body because I just don't like the Floyd Rose feel and design. I have an Ibanez RG and I love their Edge Pro tremolo MUCH better. Anyway, that Jackson is a great guitar at a great price.
i started out 3 years ago with a laguna...its a piece of crap now. Recommended? Cuz ive also had my eye on a schecter hellraiser. suggestions are appreciated :)
@balitigermoua Change the pickups! For the price difference between the Jackson and the Les Paul You could buy some high quality pickups and still come way under the price of the LP.
I think that's it on what concerns the body type, but the thing is that there are cheap Dinkys(like this one) but soloists are usually professional guitars. But then again, I THINK that's it.
@kingrein5 *OR ANYONE WHO KNOWS* what's the difference between the Jackson JS32R and the JS32RT? What makes the JS32RT more expensive and why is there a "T" at the end? PLEASE HELP
Been over 2 years since posting and finally hopped on to check things out. Thanks for all of the nice comments and hope it has (& will be) useful. Still enjoy playing the guitar and at the time I needed something to develop my whammy bar skills that wasn't too pricey. Quality, feel and design were all there for a decent price. Great for the 70s/80s rock I enjoy playing. And folks got it right...opening music clip, It's Not Love (Dokken), closing music clip The Hellion (JP). Keep Rockin!
That's a dinky reverse pro I do believe. They are more expensive than the dinky. I got one also. The one I have is solid gloss black they usually range from about 500 to 900 hundred dollars. I can tell by the chrome tremolo and the covered Jackson stock pick ups. The pick ups are cociderably better than on the regular js32 Jackson stock. Noiseless pick ups are better because less hum from the amp.
Personally this guitar is pretty good. The Les Paul would be my choice though because 1. I don't have any needs for a 24 fret. 2. The weight of it isn't as heavy as you think, maybe you say it is but I prefer something heavy over anything light any day. 3 I could switch out the pick-ups and such because I am able to do so, hence the term, Les Paul Custom
I had 4 Jackson guitars and Japan build is better than Indonesia. there are hard to find spare parts on that JT-bridge, and I have noticed CVR-2 pickups is installed as singlecoil. good review

It's a fantastic guitar
Great review - thankyou very much for putting this video together. It will give me a good basis to go from when buying my new setup.

I really loved your review of the guitar and to me it was very helpful and i'd like to see more reviews from you.
The song at the end is Electric Eye by Judas Priest. I recognised it immediately haha, great way to finish a great review.
That's a really really really good demo !!! Thank you !

Got mine today, awesome review!
I wish more reviewers were as thorough and Un-hurried as yourself . What a KICK ASS REVIEWER, GREAT JOB
Sweet cant wait for mine to arrive on Friday

good video

nice guitar and nice ted nugent demo. is the floyd rose good? cause im looking into this guitar but i wanna make sure this guitar has a good floyd rose
Nice review and demo I have the exact same guitar
I have been waiting over a year for a review o this one and not the js32t I believe is what the one with the fixed bridge is, but anyway extremely helpful
Very good demo, thanks!
I would reccomend this guitar i got it like 3 months ago and it is great, i am a heavy user of the floyd and it stays in tune for like a week its a great sounding one too
Just got mine in snow white from sweet water. Nice video
I have the very same one mine is the dinky pro 1997 made in Indonesia. Mine sounds great 👍but mine is identical love it. I gave 350 for mine it's 22 years old. Also I noticed yours has a little bit of a flame maple top finish. Mine is gloss black. Even has the reverse headstock.
Intro song: Dokken - It's Not Love \m/
great clean demo
im deciding between this, an ESP, and an Ibanez, which do you think would b ebetter for hard rock and metal playing?
Cool stuff, did you buy the JS30 over the JS23 specifically because of the fixed bridge, or for another reason?
I bought one of these, and it's very annoying that the volume control is directly under the bridge. I often hit it while playing live, so I removed it and turned my tone control into a volume control.
I'm looking into a mid ranged (300 - 500 bucks guitar) And I want to get the most amount of value for the price. I looked into this one and it seems really good. But I heard really mixed reviews about it. Some love it some say it's bad. Can anyone tell me if it is really good for the price or if there are better deals
Good review but could you show the different tones you can get out of the guitar
Getting mine the weekend :)
What is that clean melody you are playing? Sounds awesome
Are the pick-ups active or just normal? Just about to buy one.
@kingrein5 so whats the quality of the wood like? is this guitar worth selling my Dean C350F with a EMG 85 in the bridge? i wanna buy the string through body version though, so help me out? :)
I have this model and LOVE it!!!!! Played it next to some Gibsons and bar-none, this is a very good guitar for the price!!!
What did you record the audio with and what was the connection setup ?
can you compare whats different?
how different is it from the JS22R or JS23 Dinky, does it cost more??....... im going to buy one next week.But I dont know which one to choose..
Is the only difference between this guitar and the js32rt the floyed rose?
@theDETLERS I own it, and it works perfect. But you may need to tighten up the lock nut screws on it when you get it. Mine was a little loose. After I tightened it, it stayed in perfect tune no matter what I do to it. Seriously dude, this guitar is amazing, you should buy it
Kingrein, what is that amp setup you have there? Im intrested...
I thought he was gonna start playing eruption lol 7:30 - 7:38
+Enjoying The Sun 577-Jersey Customs haha
SuperDuper YoungMan same
Is the pickups active or passive...thank you
The clean sound is excellent , so testing a guitar, that good instrument , Greetings from Colombia
is there any real difference between this and the Jackson JS30 Dinky other then the inlays?
How does the body hold up? I wanna buy one of these in white so that way I can repair my DK2M Dinky, And then make something out of the spare parts.
very illustrative, thanks
@fulleffect121 I assume the "T" means Thru, as in like string-thru because the models without floyds are all string-thru :)
What guitar reccomands you with a price between 300 and 500€ ? with this shape . (sorry for bad english but i'm french)
what is better Dinky JS32R or DX10D?
@flowerdrop1 The Jackson bridges just need a bit more love than other floyds. I spent about a week getting to know the tension on mine. Now it stays in tune perfectly. I went from Drop C to C# about a week ago and I'm still perfectly in tune.
what does this guitar came with(cable, strap, whammy bar)???
depends on how good its set up and on how frequently you use it. it's of course not a high quality trem, but as long as you dont abuse it for 15 minutes straight you'll be fine
@SkyDelta52 So why does the JS32R have Tremolo and the JS32RT doesn't? Shouldn't the JS32RT have the tremolo being that it has the "T" at the end?.
I think I'm 'bout to buy this Jackson, and just wanted to ask for experiences. So, if anyone has this guitar, how well does this stay in tune, even if you play with the floyd rose?
Oh I love that fookin riff!
what song are you playing with the clean sound?
I've owned this guitar for a few years now and it hasn't let me down. The best guitar for the price.
I agree. Did have to swap the bridge pick up out for a Duncan Black Winter but that was more cosmetic than needed. The original pup was just fine.
I watched this video before I bought my Snow White js32r also what is the name of the song played at the end?
I have a Jackson JS32 Dinky and I love it. Mine has a Tune-o-matic bridge with string-through body because I just don't like the Floyd Rose feel and design. I have an Ibanez RG and I love their Edge Pro tremolo MUCH better. Anyway, that Jackson is a great guitar at a great price.
do you recommand this guitar ?
@creepingdeathzzz does it have good sustain?
whats the song at the end? ist from Brütal Legend but i cant remember the title..
What was the song called at the end of the video ???
What's the nane of the van Halen song that he plays at nearly the end?
i put a solo together in my head when you played that clean. sounded a lot like metallica
thanks kingrein5, this gave me a better outlook on the guitar.
i started out 3 years ago with a laguna...its a piece of crap now. Recommended? Cuz ive also had my eye on a schecter hellraiser. suggestions are appreciated :)
Wich is the song on the beginning? I cant remembeeeer
guys help plz, what better to take Jackson JS32T or Epiphone LP 100?
I STILL LOVE YOU BY KISS. WAS NOT EXPEXTING THAT.
tab for the clean part?
So is this better than an ibanez rg350dx?
@fulleffect121 The difference is only the tremolo. The "T" at the end stands for "tremolo" same pickups and everything, just a different bridge.
is the tremolo set or floating?
@A7XSynysterJenno they are passive pickups, i'm lookin to buy one as well
what paint job does it have
great sound !
Does anyone know if these pickups are passive or active? Please reply
does the tremolo go out of tune??
@balitigermoua Change the pickups! For the price difference between the Jackson and the Les Paul You could buy some high quality pickups and still come way under the price of the LP.
Passive... I Have a JS30DK with the same pickups they SOUND SICK!
I was debating on getting The ESP mh50, Ibanez grga32t and now this. I think I would rather get this guitar and get my moneys worthe for sure.
i recomend this. i personaly own this guitar is is very nice slick and with the right amp sounds amazing
what marshall head is that?
I think that's it on what concerns the body type, but the thing is that there are cheap Dinkys(like this one) but soloists are usually professional guitars.
But then again, I THINK that's it.
@kingrein5 *OR ANYONE WHO KNOWS* what's the difference between the Jackson JS32R and the JS32RT? What makes the JS32RT more expensive and why is there a "T" at the end? PLEASE HELP
Js32r or Epiphone SG G400 pro?

What's the song you play with clean sound? Sounds familiar, but I can't remember! So, please tell us what's that song!
where can i buy one of these?
i love this model
@crash12512 if you can read it is at the first few seconds on the vid :p
It's an marshall hdfx100 head i think
i own this exact guitar and it is very good. paint job is the same on mine and it is a very nice guitar.
I had 4 Jackson guitars and Japan build is better than Indonesia. there are hard to find spare parts on that JT-bridge, and I have noticed CVR-2 pickups is installed as singlecoil. good review
Awesome I might get this guitar, you really helped! What's the song at the beginning it's b.a. Lol
@Blowmint Its a marshall MG100 HDFX 3:19
whats the intro song it sounds familiar
how much does it cost????
The first song you are using to demonstrate the sound of the pickups sound a lot like a song from scorpions
