The Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 MS is built for high-speed, down-tuned playing, by virtue of its multi-scale 25.5-inch to 26.5-inch scale length. And it sounds like an exploding nuke. Even before you plug it in, this solidbody electric guitar’s basswood body radiates warm, growling tones with defined mids that cut through a busy mix of rapid-fire drums and throbbing bass. And when you do plug it in, multi-voiced Fishman Fluence Open Core humbuckers churn out a myriad of hard-hitting tones. This Dinky’s hyper-ergonomic design is top-shelf all the way ? its graphite-reinforced satin-finished neck and compound-radius ebony fingerboard are guaranteed to unleash the full potential of your playing. You’ll also benefit from rock-solid intonation, reliable tuning stability, and easy string changes, by virtue of this guitar’s Hipshot 6-to-18-degree fixed bridge and Gotoh locking tuners. Complete with aggressive-looking black hardware and an eye-catching gloss finish, the Pro Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 MS provides a high-performance experience that contemporary guitarists are sure to appreciate.

Fast-playing 3-piece neck and compound-radius fingerboard





Jackson crafted the Pro Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 MS to be a high-performance solidbody electric with maximum clarity, sustain, and sonic power. Its graphite-reinforced bolt-on 3-piece maple/wenge/maple neck boasts a hand-rubbed satin finish for maximum low-drag comfort, while its fast-playing ebony compound-radius fingerboard is the ideal platform for heavy riffing and high-speed soloing. Down low, your fretting hand will value the 12-inch radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action, lightning-fast runs and wide string bends without fretting out.





Multi-voice Fishman Fluence Open Core active humbuckers





The Jackson Pro Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 MS comes loaded with multi-voice Fishman Fluence Open Core humbuckers. These revolutionary active pickups yield three unique, selectable voices: a vintage PAF, hot-rodded humbucker, and overwound single-coil. And unlike most wire-wound pickups, the Fluences deliver these classic tones without noise or inductance issues. With this Dinky’s 5-way blade in pickup positions one (full bridge) or five (full neck), you can use the tone control ‘s push-pull pot to switch between voices one and two. Positions two, three, and four all feature voice three’s single-coil tone. A fast-growing number of guitarists swear by Fishman Fluence pickups. Get your hands on the Pro Series Dinky DK Modern HT6 MS, and you’ll become a convert, too.





Multi-scale neck is tailor-made for high-speed, down-tuned playing





Multi-scale necks are tailor-made for down-tuned and technical playing. Their scale length is longer on the bass side of the instrument and shorter on the treble side, yielding better intonation, consistent tension, and equal attack between strings. Many guitarists here at Sweetwater have made the transition to multi-scale guitars. If you're into thunderous low-end chug and high-speed soloing, you owe it to yourself to try out one of these high-performance instruments.
