Jackson JS1X Dinky Minion Electric Guitar (Black)

I purchased this for my 8 year old grandson. I was pleasantly surprised at its playability and sound quality. Although it's produced in China and therefore the electronics are NOT as good as those produced either domestically or in Japan, they are still very serviceable. Plugged into the Fender Frontman I also purchased, it was quiet, with no feedback or hum even on the distorted setting. However, when plugged into one of my High Gain stacks, I could tell by the hum and feedback that they're definitely NOT for Pro Use. That said, after having played for over 40 years, this is an AWESOME value for an introductory Student Guitar, given that I've spent almost 2X this much for a single pickup on some of my "Real" guitars. The intonation and action was VERY good right out of the box. A quick setup with a good set of strings, and it's ready to go for Christmas Morning!

I bought this as a travel guitar and find myself playing it as my primary guitar. Yes it is mass produced, but in that mass production probably comes consistency.. and certainly affordability. One thing to be aware of (and why not 5 stars) is the strings are not properly wound on the guitar in final assembly. Perhaps mine was a new technician or just a bad day of the week, but the strings were only wrapped about twice around the tuners. Not enough to hold a tune and I suspect this may be why you read several reviews about the guitar not holding its tune. It isn't inherently a 3/4 scale guitar. Change the strings with proper winding and you will be fine. This is a silly shortcut they took that was unnecessary.The string critique aside, this is well worth the purchase. I have had a Traveler Guitar and a Strobel, both at a substantially higher price. Neither played as well as this. Not even close.

I love this guitar. I am a 6'2" male and it is ultra tiny for me but I love that about it. Great sound and easy to play. Stays in tune I would highly recommend this for kids or someone who likes tiny things

Great seller, fast shipping. I own several Jackson guitars and this is like the rest with the exception of the size. Its going to make a nice little warm up guitar for me.
