General
The Jackson Minion is the smallest member of the JS family. This JS 1X Dinky has everything you might expect from a Jackson guitar, it’s just a lot smaller. Its body is about two thirds the size of a standard model. Furthermore, thanks to a short, 22.5” scale length, the frets are quite close together, ensuring that the Minion is very easy to play. This makes the Dinky Minion an ideal beginners guitar for children of about eight to twelve years of age. However, adults can also benefit from the JS1X, as its small size makes it an ideal travel guitar, so that you’ll have access to that great Jackson sound no matter where you are!
JS1X Minion: construction
Don’t let its small size fool you, the Jackson Minions are full-blown instruments. To ensure a balanced tone, the body is made of poplar. This wood type has the added benefit of being highly durable - ideal for an instrument meant for children or for use on the road. For added stability, the neck was reinforced with graphite. Furthermore, the headstock is angled backwards, just like it is on more expensive Jackson models. As a result, the string tension is evenly distributed, making it easier to play for extended periods of time without your fingers hurting. Finally, the Jackson Minion is fitted with two powerful humbuckers that allow for a wide range of tones that live up that true Jackson sound.
Jackson Guitars JS Series
The renowned American Jackson Guitars was founded by Grover Jackson in 1980 and gained fame with their V guitar for Randy Rhoads. These days, many famous guitarists play a Jackson guitar. Generally speaking, Jackson guitars have an elegant shape, a sharp headstock, sharkfin position markers and a powerful sound that's great for metal and hard rock. The JS series comprises several affordable models for beginner guitarists.

Moest volledig gechecked en afgesteld worden, had hem helaas als impulse aankoop gekocht, en ie stond een tijd ingepakt in de kast, anders had ik hem terug gestuurd en bij de lokale winkel gekocht.
Ik koop geen gitaren meer online is altijd iets mis mee

Des choses bien, des choses moins bien.
Ce que j'ai à dire, c'est que j'ai été sacrément surpris en la recevant.
Déjà, plus petite que ce que j'imaginais, mais c'était positif puisque c'est pour un enfant et qu'elle parfaitement adaptée.
Elle est arrivée en temps et en heure, super bien emballée, très bien réglée.
J'ai tout de même appliqué mes propres réglages et changé de tirant de corde.
Mais ça, c'est juste pour la customiser à mes goûts parce que sinon, ce n'était pas nécessaire.
Je trouvais d'ailleurs très agréable le 9-42 d'origine avec les cordes d'origine.
Je n'aurais pas eu besoin de changer de tirant, je l'aurais laissée telle quelle avec ses cordes.
Les micros sont plutôt bon, et envoient 15k et 8k, ce qui est plutôt bien pour une guitare comme celle là.
L'action que j'ai réglée est très basse, le nivellement de frette était plutôt bien d'usine.
Globalement, je trouve que c'est une très bonne guitare pour le prix.
Et des guitares, j'en ai un paquet...
