collapse expand iconDescription

Tthe Jackson JS Series Dinky Arch Top JS32Q DKA HT electric guitar provides patented Jackson quality at a wallet-friendly price. This poplar-bodied shred machine features an arched quilt maple top and a bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability. Powered by direct mount dual Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets, the JS32Q DKA HT also includes a three-way pickup blade switch, Jackson HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge, and die-cast tuners. Now available in three transparent finishes including Purple Burst — with pointy black headstocks and all-black hardware.

Fast-Playing Amaranth Fingerboard

The JS32Q DKA HT has a 12"-16" compound radius bound amaranth fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays. The fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel for comfortable chording and natural-feeling riffing near the nut, as well as optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.

High-Output Pickups for Aggressive Tone

The dual Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets provide thick, snarling tone and prodigious sustain. Roll back the tone for a warmer, vintage-inspired sound or crank it up for an ultra-aggressive attack.

Roadworthy and Gig-Ready

Weighing in at just over 7 pounds, the lightweight JS32Q DKA HT is designed for hours of playing comfort. It includes a recycled nylon gig bag for protection when transporting to and from practice spaces, recording studios, and live shows. Standard strap buttons are also included for a secure hold on your favorite guitar strap.

Classic Jackson Style with Modern Appeal

Sporting a familiar Jackson profile, the JS Series Dinky Arch Top JS32Q DKA HT is dressed to impress with an all-new Transparent Purple Burst finish, pointed 6-in-line black headstock, and black hardware. An unmistakable ax for the modern rock and metal guitarist seeking tone, playability, and attitude at an unbeatable price.

    The fretboard is scratchy when you bend. The whammy bar sounds great! It doesn't stay in tune very well, so you probably have to tune every couple songs. It sounds super cool with metal! It does not come with very good strings because I broke the d string 3 weeks after I got it.

  • Beautiful guitar!

    Paid for a brand new guitar and received a scraped up, grimey guitar not with original box or accessories. I can't believe this would even be attempted.

  • Great for beginners and intermediate players

    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. I'm sorry but I don't have one to weigh. This will be approximately 8.0 lbs.
