The Dinky is the most common Jackson in production today with over 15 variants on the current market. The Jackson Dinky is usually preferred by players of hard rock and heavy metal. Some Dinkys have hardtail, or String-Thru bridges. Most of the guitars have a Floyd Rose original or licensed tremolo, and a locking nut to help maintain stable tuning. The fretboard can be made out of ebony, rosewood and more recently maple, or rock maple, with 24 jumbo frets and is always built with a bolt-on neck. Usually fitted with a two humbucker pickup configuration, some models also include single-coil pickups and/or just one bridge humbucker. The "Dinky" is named for its slightly smaller than normal (7/8) body size. The Jackson Dinky is a Superstrat-style double-cutaway electric guitar built by Jackson Guitars.
