Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

JS1R Dinky is a fine guitar, considering the fact that a lot more guitar models had been buried with poor grades by guitar players. But then again, there is a significant number of guitars rated better than this one, so one should check to see if Jackson made JS1R Dinky right for them.

Jackson didn't go over the top with a set of features that make the JS1R Dinky what it is: a guitar that will do the job, but won't thrill you with its limited features. However, it won't let you down if you feel you can get along with what's provided. You can try and search for better solutions, but still, Jackson's JS1R Dinky will deliver what you need in most situations.

Another reliable model from Jackson brings us to a guitar that handles well and plays well. Finish doesn't feel bad at all, and the hardware is good. It stays in tune for most of the time, so if you take the time to adjust the action & pickups the way you want them, you will feel comfortable while playing JS1R Dinky.

This is a solidly built guitar that will play well live and in studio. It does provide a fair amount of confidence, and it can serve well both as a replacement and a first choice guitar for gigs and rehearsals. Jackson feels confident in its JS1R Dinky and it will serve you well in most situations. Durability and reliability are evenly balanced with this instrument.
