1996 Jackson DK1 Dinky USA Select Elite Maple Top Purple Burst The production period for this model was from 1996 to 1998. The Dinky DK1 model was not produced between 1999 and 2001. In 2002, Jackson resumed production of the DK1 guitars, but with noticeably changed specifications. This model is often called the Dinky Elite because of its "rich" appearance and mother-of-pearl logo/markers, but it is more accurate to call it the 1996-1998 model Dinky DK1 with a maple top. The guitar is extremely rare, as is the color; they are found in the USA for $1600 to $3000. Configuration: • Body: Poplar with a figured maple top and "natural" binding • Neck: Maple • Fretboard: Ebony with binding • Number of frets: 22 • Scale length: 25.5" • Bridge: Floyd Rose Original • Pickups: Bridge Humbucker - Seymour Duncan TB-4 (Jeff Beck), Middle - DiMarzio Fast Track 1, Neck - Seymour Duncan SHR-1N • Pickup selector: 5-position • Color: Purple Burst • Included: adjustment tools, tremolo arm, Charvel/Jackson case Country of manufacture - USA The guitar possesses the signature Jackson sound, recognizable from a kilometer away. It has the correct frequency balance. Very readable and punchy in a mix. The Seymour mini-humbucker in the neck makes the solo sound very similar to Periphery solos. The guitar is equipped with a push-pull for coil splitting, which provides clean single-coil sounds in positions 1 and 5 of the pickup selector. It sits very comfortably in the hand. The neck is fast, and the hardware, tremolo system, and all electronics are in perfect working order. Surprisingly, the frets are original and still without significant signs of wear. The guitar has been preserved in excellent condition, with barely noticeable signs of use and slightly worn gold plating. Here is an example of the same type of instrument, this one is a bit trashy, but the guitar can handle other styles easily. The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! It can be auditioned on a choice of high-quality tube equipment — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl.... I will ship anywhere in the world.
