The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Quality construction and components for reliable performance and satisfying tone. Tonal versatility to explore multiple genres. Built to be enjoyed for years.
Invest in a quality cable and amp - this guitar rewards you with tone that inspires daily practice.
Jackson guitars are purpose-built for one thing: letting your fingers fly without any mechanical obstacle in their path. The compound-radius fretboard transitions seamlessly from comfortable chord shapes near the nut to fast, flat soloing territory in the upper register, and the slim neck profile is among the fastest in the entire guitar industry. The high-output humbuckers deliver the saturated, tight distortion that metal and hard rock demand, with enough clarity to keep even the fastest passages articulate and defined. If speed, precision, and aggressive tone are non-negotiable for your music, Jackson is the brand that has been engineering guitars for exactly that purpose since 1980.

X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS
The DK3XR HSS features a poplar body with sculpted shredder's cut heel for quick access to the upper frets and a bolt-on maple neck with scarf joint and satin back finish for smooth playability and reduced playing fatigue, as well as graphite reinforcement for stability against climate changes and environmental duress. Featuring rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets and inverted pearloid sharkfin inlays, the 12"-16" compound radius laurel fingerboard is the ideal platform for heavy chording and fast, ripping solos. Routed for an HSS configuration, the DK3XR is loaded with a select power trio of Jackson pickups. The Jackson high-output humbucking pickup was painstakingly voiced for full, rich tone with maximum overdrive and sustain, while the Jackson single-coil middle and neck pickups deliver that tried-and-true Strat sound. Explore this instrument's sonic palette with a five-way blade switch and single volume and tone controls, and dive bomb at will with reliable tuning stability from the Jackson-branded Floyd Rose®-licensed double-locking tremolo bridge system. Captivating in both sound and style, the X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS is dressed in Gloss Black, Cobalt Blue and Neon Green with a color matched reverse Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock and black hardware. The Gloss Black model also features white pickup bobbins and white Jackson headstock logo, while Cobalt Blue and Neon Green feature pink pickup bobbins and pink Jackson headstock logo.Features
