Phil Collen PC1 Signature Dinky
If you are looking for a guitar that is the perfect blend of beauty, finesse, and raw, animalistic tone then the Jackson Phil Collen PC1 signature Dinky might be just the guitar for you. We all know what Jackson offers hardy guitars that you can play, and play, and play through the touring, the recording, the practice, and even the jamming. And we also know that Jackson has managed to bring amazing tones and sounds to the world of rock and roll through its instruments.
It is true that most Jackson guitars are synonymous with their place in the metal world, but there are also guitars out there bearing the Jackson label that are more fine-tuned. And one example of this would be the Phil Collen signature Dinky. This guitar defies most of the laws it comes with a beautiful finish, an epic-feeling fingerboard, a fell that any Jackson fan will come to know and love all while delivering the goods that you NEED incredible tone, killer sustain, and enough body to bring any audience to its knees.
The Phil Collen PC1 Signature Dinky ships with:
- A mahogany body w/ a quilted maple top
- A bolt-on neck made from quartersawn Maple
- A flame maple fretboard
- A 25.5 scale length
- Gold plated hardware
- A Floyd-Rose Original double-locking 2 point tremolo
- Die cast tuning pegs
- And, last but not least, two DiMarzio Humbucking Pickups and one Jackson sustainer/driver, for the killer tone that you have come to know and love from all Jackson guitars.
This model was followed by a PC3 model, but it was short-lived in comparison. It sported DiMarzio HSS pickups, as well as a Wilkinson floating vibrato. It was a bit more economically priced, but still did not go over so well.
The PC1, however, has been a hit with guitar players looking for a Jackson that offered just a little bit more. Everyone knows that Jackson delivers where it counts, and the Phil Collen PC1 signature Dinky is no different. And since it comes with a bolt-on neck, warping is not near as much of an issue as it is with thru-body neck designs. It is also interesting to note that most Dinkys are almost identical to their older cousin, the Soloist. This model is no exception, with the bolt on neck being the main difference between the two.
All in all, this model delivers where it counts. If you are looking for sustain to last for eternity, tone to take you where other guitars fall short, and the guts to live up to its namesake then the Phil Collen signature just might be your golden ticket to a lasting friendship, a friendship with your guitar. Most guitar players will tell you that real guitars are not just played, but are almost alive. This is one of those guitars.
This is a Jackson Dinky that will not disappoint, and don’t let its name fool you, there is nothing dinky about this six string!
