Jackson JS Series Dinky Minion JS1X Metallic Blue Burst

General

The Jackson Minion is the smallest member of the JS family. This JS 1X Dinky has everything you would expect from a Jackson, she is just a lot smaller. The body is about a third smaller than the standard model. Thanks to the short 22.5-inch scale, the frets are closer together, making the Minion easy to play. This makes this Dinky ideal as a beginner guitar for children aged about eight to 12 years old. Adults can also get a lot of enjoyment out of the JS1X, as its size makes it ideal for travelling and still having that pure Jackson sound.

JS1X Minion: construction

Don't let the small size fool you, because these Jackson's are full-sized guitars. To get a balanced tone, a poplar body was chosen. Moreover, this type of wood can take a beating; perfect for young children and for travelling. For extra stability, the neck is reinforced with graphite. In addition, the headstock is bent backwards, just like on the expensive Jackson models. As a result, the string tension is evenly distributed, allowing you to keep playing for longer without hurting your fingers. Thanks to two powerful humbuckers, you get a wide range of those true Jackson tones.
