Jackson DK7M Pro Series Dinky - Metallic Black with Maple Fingerboard

Built for heavy-duty shredding, the Jackson Pro DK7-M Dinky 7-string solidbody electric guitar is stylish and mean. And speaking of shredding, the 3-piece maple neck is hand-rubbed with oil and topped with a compound-radius fingerboard for exceptional comfort and speed. Dive-bomb to your heart's content, courtesy of the 7-string Floyd Rose double-locking trem bridge. The Pro DK7-M Dinky uses a pair of direct-mount Seymour Duncan SH-7 Distortion humbuckers wired to a 5-way switch to give you tons of tonal options.

• Go deep with a 7-string
• Built for serious metal tones
• Speedy neck for fast runs up the frets

The beauty of a 7-string is that it broadens your range of tones while not feeling altogether unfamiliar. This expanded range gives you the opportunity to add additional depth to your sound, making for a more complex sound in a band situation.

Jackson decided to load the Pro DK7-M Dinky with direct-mount Seymour Duncan SH-7 Distortion pickups, giving you the output you need to push your amp hard but still retain string clarity. Why direct-mount the pickups? The guitar experts here say that the thinking behind direct-mounting pickups (the pickups are screwed directly to the wood inside the cavity versus suspended from mounting rings) is that the tonal transfer is stronger, resulting in a truer representation of the sound. On top of the searing-hot pickups, the Pro DK7-M Dinky also boasts a 7-string Floyd Rose double-locking trem bridge, which is often considered required equipment for serious metal mayhem.

The Jackson Pro DK7-M Dinky features a 12"-16" compound-radius fretboard for ultimate playability. The fingerboard is rounder near the nut for easy chord-grabbing and rhythm playing. As your playing heats up and moves up the fretboard, the radius flattens out for easier runs and big string bends. With a neck that plays this slick, you'll be up at the 24th fret before you know it. The maple neck is oil-rubbed to a finish that is comfortable and fluid, further enhancing the incredible playability of the Pro DK7-M Dinky.
