Overview

The Jackson JS22 Dinky Arch Top is a high-performance electric guitar designed for players who want fast playability, aggressive tone, and modern styling at an affordable price. Part of Jackson’s entry-level JS Series, it delivers classic metal-ready features without breaking the bank.

Built around the iconic Dinky body shape, the JS22 features a slightly smaller, lightweight design that enhances comfort and manoeuvrability, ideal for fast playing styles and extended sessions. 

The guitar is equipped with a bolt-on maple “speed” neck with graphite reinforcement and a 12"–16" compound radius fingerboard, allowing for comfortable chord work near the nut and flatter, faster lead playing higher up the neck.

At its core are dual high-output Jackson humbuckers, delivering powerful, aggressive tones suited to rock, metal, and heavier styles while still being versatile enough for general use.
