JS Series Dinky Arch Top JS32-8 DKA HT
Infused with more than 30 years of Jackson DNA, experience and expertise, the JS Series Dinky® Arch Top JS32-8 DKA HT offers an extended range and increased sonic palette for the master composer at a price you can afford. This slick axe features a 26.5" scale length for better low-end articulation, a lightweight and resonant poplar body with an arched top and a bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint for rock-solid stability. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and piranha tooth inlays, the 12"-16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard creates the ideal playing surface for fat riffs and easy chording near the black plastic nut while gradually flattening in the upper registers for lightning-quick solos and wide bends without fear of fretting out. Powered by direct mount dual Jackson high-output humbucking pickups, the JS32-8 DKA HT is also equipped with single volume and tone controls and three-way blade switching, string-through-body fixed Jackson HT8 bridge, Jackson 4x4 (4 over, 4 under) AT-1 headstock and sealed die-cast tuners. Offering more for less, this beastly 8-string axe comes in Satin Black with all-black hardware and stylish white neck binding.
