Jackson JS Series Dinky JS11 - Black with Amaranth Fingerboard

I have to say, I am thoroughly impressed in this Jackson. I watched some reviews on this guitar and saw many positives mentioned. So I thought, for $159, I’ll take the gamble. This guitar came packed extremely well, it came out of the box virtually in tune. The frets in my opinion are beautiful. No sharp edges at all all the way up the board. I recently sent a Fender Player Series Strat back (yes I know Fender owns Jackson which blows my mind even more) because it arrived single boxed, poor action and sloppy fret work. So it astonishes me that I can pull a $159 guitar out of the box with no complaints and have it feel and play like a much more expensive guitar. WELL DONE on the JS11 Jackson Guitars. Any new player can have extreme confidence in this axe.

This guitar is well built. No fret sprouting and handles nicely. It is noted for it's high output humbuckers suited for heavy metal, but this thing has a beautiful clean tone and bright articulate highs. I play standards, ballads, 50's/60's and soft rock as a single at nursing homes and it suits me well.

Amazing for beginners, less noisy than a cheap squier in my experience. A little fret buzz, but that’s more my fault. 8/10 guitar, plays what I need it to play. I also love the look of the guitar and feel, not too grippy on your fret hand. Would recommend.

Very nice guitar for its price solid sound and a very nice body.

I’m a huge Ibanez fan but decided to try the Jackson. Super easy set up. The neck is pretty thin and the sound is surprisingly awesome. I see a lot make mods to theirs, personally I don’t see the need to. Simple, great tone very nice shiny black. No buzz from pick ups! 🕺🏼🤘🤘🕺🏼

Arrived with surface damage that’s unfortunate

Small chip in the head stock but the piece was in the box so I'll fix it. Guitar has little fret buzz which is very common even for expensive guitars. It has no locking nut so don't use the tremolo bar unless you want to tune after every use. This is my third guitar, I didn't want to spend a lot and I was surprised by the quality. Buy this over any guitar in its price range. Next I'll buy a jackson soloist if this holds up well for a few months.

It's ok not the best guitar for 150 or 170 dollars because the volume and tone knobs was scratchy sounding and loud ass humming from the pickups but it was playable but even at low volumes it does a loud high pitch scream

Plays well and has a smooth action. Clear sound , has no fret buzz and keeps in tune. tuning is a bit dodgey when useing wammy bar . The Jackson pickups are powerfull enough for playing metal . Well pleased 5 stars from me.

Sei un fanatico degli anni 80? Non vuoi spendere troppo e comunque prendere una chitarra che suona bene ed è ben costruita? Hai trovato quello che cercavi. Chitarra veloce con un buon output. Ottima per hard rock e affini e niente male anche nel pulito. A detta del mio maestro di musica è una bomba. L avrei preferita più tamarra in colorazioni fluo ma nera resta comunque un classicone. Amo la sua paletta a punta! 😍 Io l'ho personalizzata con un tocco di colore spendendo qualche euro

It is my first guitar and I love it.

I ordered this guitar after the disappointment of my last purchase of a guitar & amp a couple months ago..I must say I am very impressed with the quality of the guitar..Has a smooth finish on the neck.. fret edges along the bridge are nice and smooth..The action is fantastic. The high out put Humbuckers have a beautiful tone... All around a very nice guitar for the price..

Super
