Jackson JS32 DKA-M Dinky Arch Top Maple negra

General

The maple fretboard on the Jackson JS32 DKA-M doesn't only look fresh, it also gives the guitar that bit of extra bite. This mean machine belongs to the budget-friendly JS Series but features the same tough looks as its more expensive USA-made siblings. The DKA-M is a Dinky with an elegant, 3D-like arched top body. This is the high-gloss black version, with beautifully contrasting black shark fin inlays on a plain maple fretboard.
Jackson JS32 DKA-M Black: wood and hardware
The DKA-M has a body made of basswood which has a comfortably low weight and provides an excellent tone. The bolt-on neck is made of maple and has been reinforced with graphite for optimal stability. Along the 24-fret maple fretboard as well as the headstock, you can find graceful white bindings. The guitar is equipped with two powerful humbucker pickups and a stable Jackson double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo bridge that allows you to make dive bombs without detuning a single string.
Compound-radius fretboard
The fretboard of the JS32 DKA-M has a compound radius, just like the more expensive Jacksons. This means that the fretboard is rather round (12 inches) at the lower positions but flattens towards the body (into 16 inches). As a result, you can play your open chords and barre chords comfortably lower on the neck. You’ll also find that, even with a super low action, you’ll still be able to bend the strings at higher positions easily without any buzzing or loss of notes.
