Our take on the JS Series Dinky JS11

The Jackson JS11 Dinky is a budget solid-body electric built for rock and metal. It pairs a poplar body with a bolt-on maple neck, a flat 12-inch amaranth fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets, so chording is easy and bends hold up. Two high-output ceramic humbuckers with a three-way switch and single volume and tone give it a thick, aggressive voice. Against other entry-level shred guitars it offers a fast neck and a fulcrum tremolo, though its hardware and pickups are basic compared with pricier Dinkys.

What reviewers say

Owners generally see the JS11 as a strong first electric for rock and metal, praising its fast neck and aggressive humbucker tone for the outlay. Common complaints center on the stock pickups and tremolo, and on setup and fretwork that can need attention out of the box.

What people mention
  • Neck feelPraisedOwners like the slim, fast maple neck and flat board for chording and lead playing.
  • PickupsMixedThe humbuckers deliver aggressive rock tone, but some find them harsh or muddy.
  • TremoloCriticisedThe fulcrum tremolo is seen as basic and prone to tuning drift under heavy use.
  • BuildMixedThe guitar feels solid for its class, though some units arrive needing setup or fretwork.
  • ValuePraisedBuyers see it as a lot of guitar for a first electric or a backup.

About the JS Series Dinky JS11

The Jackson JS Series Dinky JS11 is a 6-string, right-handed solid-body electric guitar with a double-cutaway poplar body. It has a bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite reinforcement. The flat 12" radius amaranth fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets and a 25.5 in scale length.

Two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets deliver clear tone with plenty of girth. A three-way toggle switch, a single volume control and a single tone control shape the sound.

The hardware is all black. It includes a synchronized fulcrum tremolo bridge, die-cast tuners and standard strap buttons.

Questions and answers

Is the JS11 good for beginners?
Yes. The slim neck, flat fingerboard and jumbo frets make it easy to play, and the humbuckers suit rock and metal from the start. Expect to have it set up by a tech for best results.
How does it compare with the JS22 Dinky?
The JS22 adds a 24-fret neck and a different bridge and pickup setup. The JS11 is the simpler, more basic entry point with 22 frets and a fulcrum tremolo.
Does it have a locking tremolo?
No. It uses a synchronized fulcrum tremolo, not a Floyd Rose-style locking system, so tuning stability under heavy whammy use is limited.
What pickups does it have?
Two Jackson high-output humbuckers with ceramic magnets, wired to a three-way toggle with a single volume and tone control.
What is the scale length?
25.5 inches, the standard Fender-style scale, with 22 jumbo frets on a 12-inch radius amaranth fingerboard.
What is in the box?
The guitar itself with its stock hardware and strings. A cable, strap and gig bag are not included.
