If you are looking for a Jackson guitar that is, in every sense of the word, intense then the Jackson Warrior might just be the guitar for you. This model has four points on it, is designed similarly to the Jackson headstock, and is similar to guitars made famous by B.C. Rich. The Jackson Warrior is Jacksons attempt at a guitar that favors a four-pointed body style, and many believe that they succeeded. With the release of the WR1, Jackson proved that the Warrior has not only arrived, but that it is here to stay.

But what makes the Jackson warrior any different from other guitars like it? Well, for one, it bears the Jackson name, and that is enough to make it stand out from most of the crowd. It is packed with features that make it a metal guitarists dream axe, including:

• An alder body
• A maple top
• High quality, die cast tuners
• An ebony fingerboard
• 24 jumbo sized frets for easier shredding
• Tone knobs and a master volume control
• A Floyd Rose Original 2 point tremolo, double locking
• 3 position toggle for the two high quality EMG pickups it sports
• A scale length of 25.5 inches.

The Jackson WR1 warrior is fitted with passive sounding EMG hum buckers to deliver a monster sound that metal and rock guitarists crave. This is definitely an axe that your buddies will crave and who knows? It might even help you play better! The specially crafted Jackson fingerboard provides super-low action, making leads easy, whether you are playing simple scales or machine-gun shredding marathons. And with the alder body, this guitar delivers a thick, raw sound that is sure to blow you away, provided you have an amp that can handle it!

The looks of the guitar are also a standout among the crowd. While there are guitars out there that look similar, none are quite like the Jackson Warrior. The four points form the shape of an axe that is uncompromisingly hardcore, and if that is the message you want to send, that is the message this guitar has written all over it. Attitude, power, and pure wild mad genius are the ideas behind this one, and Jackson has pulled out all of the stops to deliver a rocking six string that consistently provides you with what you need a classic Jackson sound with the reliability that you have come to expect.

Whether you are on tour, in the studio, jamming with your friends, or gigging out on the weekends, the Jackson Warrior will give you a professional sound at a price you can handle. Easy payment plans go even further to help you pay for a piece of gear like this. After all, let’s face it what good is a guitar player if he does not have a high quality tool at his disposal? Do not let your talent go to waste! Show it off like never before with a Jackson Warrior today!

The Jackson Dinky

The Jackson Dinky is a guitar made by Jackson that has a very comparable body to that of the Soloist, but is more economically priced. But just because it costs less does not mean that the Dinky does not hammer out the same wild tones as any other Jackson these guitars were built to rock, and that is exactly what they do.

Jackson prides themselves on building instruments that can handle the roughness of stage life, and the constant pressure of the road. That is why so many professional and even semi-professional musicians choose to carry Jackson guitars with them. But what makes the Dinky so unique is that it combines all of the things you have come to expect from Jackson meaning great looks, a killer sound, and super reliability, but has a price tag that even beats other Jacksons! What you have left is a killer guitar that is AFFORDABLE and that is a dangerous combination!

Here are some of the features that come on some models of the Dinky, including the DXMG:

• Basswood body
• Bolt on maple neck
• Fingerboard made from compound radius rosewood
• EMG-HZ hum bucking pickups
• Black or chrome hardware, depending on the finish
• Jackson tremolo that is double locking
• 25.5 inch scale length
• Jumbo frets
• MOTO Shark fin inlays
• Pickup control selector
• Sealed die-cast tuners

All of this just goes to show that Jackson is delivering a powerful guitar in the Dinky. While a bolt-on neck and other things serve to lower the price of the instrument, they do nothing to the quality. So, what you get is a guitar that is fashioned by Jackson to be incredible, without an incredibly high price tag to go with it!

People who own this guitar often report amazing sustain and tone from it, and the passive EMGs deliver the monster sound you are looking for without fail, time and time again! You will probably have to get it set up when you first get it (as with any new guitar), but once you do this, you can probably look forward to years of playability without having to service it at all.

If you are an intermediate to expert guitar player who is looking for an incredible sound from a guitar that is as tough as they get, then the Dinky might be the way to go. Jackson has delivered an instrument here that can keep pumping out raw tones and incredible sustain without blinking an eye and keep doing it for years! Some people are not so fond of the 25.5 scale guitars, but even those who prefer the 25.75 scales love this axe!

They also say that you can play about any style of music through it, whether it is country, rock, metal, or even pop. While Jackson specializes in guitars that pump out monster tones for the head-banging crowd, guitars like the Dinky also offer clear tones that can come in handy for other types of music.
