I play Classic Heavy Metal & melodic instrumental metal & this guitar handles it with ease. Thru the Jcm 800 or Monoblock this guitar sounds like it should cost 3 times as much as it does.

I love the maple neck & delrin inlays, the pickups scream crank it up.

Came tuned out of the box the action was great everything was spot on

so far this guitar has handled everything I have thrown at it, very dependable instrument, I will buy another one no I will buy several more. I'd gig it without a backup but my other Jackson's would be jealous as hell so I don't

never used CS

I've been playing 20+ years & these new Jackson's are some of the best axes on the market plain & simple

2006 model, Solid black finish, Floyd Rose, Jackson sealed diecast tuners, locking nut, rock maple neck, 24 jumbo frets, 5 way selector, tone and volume control, Double Seymour Duncan humbuckers JB4 and Jazz SH2N, Alder body.

I play maninly rock, metal and blues and it handles most sounds thanks to the versatility of the seymour duncans, JB TB4 in the bridge and a Jazz SH2N at the neck. I play mainly through Boss GT6 and studio monitors and a Line 6 Spider II and the metal rock sounds are as good as my usual Ibanez's.

Fit, finish and setup was all spot on for me, didnt need to make any adjustments and felt comfortable from the off. But I do think that the shop I bought it from probably had already set it up.

The whole setup seems very solid and durable. The hardware is all black so u wont have to worry about tarnishing after a few months of sweaty gigs. So far the tunning has been ultra stable. I'm used to playing gigs without backup coz I play usually play Ibanez and they are ultra reliable

I've been playing about 10 yrs I own various Ibanez's including Jem, ESP, Charvel, MusicMan and some budget makes. I would definately replace if it was lost. The main reasons behind getting this guitar was the maple fretboard with black fin inlays it looks the mutts nuts. I wish I could have found it in the trans colours but I couldnt wait.

This is a 2006 DK2M Dinky model from Jackson's Pro (Japan) line. It is similar in many ways to the old Dinky Pro models of the early `90s and is a variation of the DK2 Dinky. It is a new version of the Dinky, with the most obvious difference being a maple fretboard, black fretboard/headstock binding and black sharkfin inlays. The inlays are made of delrin, which is the same plastic material used on many picks. I generally prefer natural inlay material, but these look nice with the black binding and less tacky than fake pearl. My DK2M has a transparent black finish over a flamed maple veneer and alder body. The neck is maple, with a 25.5-inch scale length and 24 extra-jumbo frets.

The pickups are a Seymour Duncan JB at the bridge and a Jazz at the neck, volume and tone controls, and a blade-style switch. The trem is an upgraded version of Jackson's JT580LP low-profile licensed Floyd. Standard non-locking Jackson tuners, large strap buttons, and black hardware all around.

Lots of features on a reasonably priced Japanese guitar. It shipped in a Jackson case, which was extra. I can't think of any features it doesn't have.

I play melodic death/thrash metal, and the DK2M is a very good fit. I've been playing Jacksons for many years, so I expected nothing less. My rig consists of ART Xtreme distortion into Peavey tube amps, plus any number of other devices. This style of music requires high gain, and with that gain comes noise, but I notice no more noise with the DK2M than with other guitars.

The Duncan pickups are a welcome feature in an inexpensive guitar. The JB (bridge) and Jazz (neck) are not my favorite pickups, but they are suitable for many different styles with generally favorable results. The JB is bright, but not excessively so, due in part to the alder body. It sustains nicely and has good note definition, although it doesn't react as well to palm-muting as other pickups I've used. The Jazz has passable clean tones, but lacks the sparkle of a good single coil.

This guitar can cover a wide range of sounds for rock, blues, metal and probably others. It's not quite as full-sounding as a Les Paul, but it is one of the more versatile dual-humbucker guitars I've played. If this was my only guitar, I wouldn't feel that I was missing out on anything. The tone is less harsh than some alder guitars I've played.

This DK2M is the perfect example of how a brand new guitar should look and feel. Other than raising the action slightly and blocking the trem, I didn't need to make any adjustments. It was in tune right out of the box (shipped from the East Coast to Minnesota in the summer, no less), and even before I blocked the trem, it stayed in tune while I put it through its paces. The finish is beautiful, the fretwork is flawless, and the binding and inlays are perfect. No crackle from the pickup switch or pots. The neck profile is a little different from the early `90s Jackson imports I am accustomed to, rounder or thicker to a slight degree without being a drastic departure from the older models. If anything, the modern profile is even more comfortable.

Excellent workmanship and quality components all around.

I had this guitar long enough for two practice sessions before playing it at a gig, and will gig with it again soon. There is nothing about it that would dissuade me from playing it live frequently. The strap buttons are huge as is typical for Jackson guitars, and the new-for-2006 version of the JT580LP trem seems a bit more "heavy duty" than in recent years. According to the published specs, the knife edges and posts are now steel instead of whatever cheap metal was used previously.

Solid finish, solid hardware, and a sturdy feel all around. Would I gig without a backup? Probably not, when I have spares available, but I don't anticipate any issues.

It's been a very long time since I've dealt with Jackson tech support, well before Fender bought the company. I can't recall how long the warranty is at the moment.

I've been playing for 15+ years, most of that time spent using Jackson guitars. I have several, but this DK2M is the first I've bought brand new in quite some time - the others are all from `97 or earlier. I did my homework and knew exactly what I was getting. This wasn't a matter of needing a new guitar, but rather finally seeing a new model that had features (maple fretboard, black binding and inlays, trans black finish) my others didn't have already. If necessary, I'd buy another without hesitation.

This is a guitar that sounds great out of the box, is very comfortable to play, and doesn't look like every other guitar on the market. No regrets here.
