No shame in that guitar.
I forget, and I think many guitarists do as well, that other brands offer some quality instruments.

Yes. It's a Dinky. It's not one of the really expensive ones, though.
But, the USA SL2H Soloists are exceptional guitars. They are well outside my budget.

I hate you, Smitty!
Just kidding, man!You made me GAS for a Jackson too.
I believe it's a Dinky JS32q archtop quilted superstrat.
Please tell me what you thought of the pickups and playability when you get your hands on it, I will probably get myself one in dark grey or black, they seem to be quite a nice bang for the buck!
You are correct, sir. It's just the cheapie Dinky, but it has pretty good reviews. Arch top quilted for $299.00 at Sweetwater. Quite a deal.
Yeap! Probably buying one myself, just not the same color, as I am a bit fond of grey superstrats...
You can count on it. Fender has done wonders with their overseas operations. Of course, I don't expect it to be as nice as a more expensive model, but I feel pretty comfortable with the purchase.Originally Posted by KennyF
The price is only reason why I don't have an SL2H. I just can't justify the cost.
On the other hand... I'm expecting a FULL report on the new Dinky. I just may have to buy one of those...
Nice!
Thanks, Lure.
I graduated high school in the mid-80s, when Charvel and Jackson were really starting to rise in popularity. In fact, in college, I can't recall a single other guitar-playing college-mate who wanted anything other than Kramer, Charvel, or Jackson. These high-powered superstrats were the rage. Floyd Rose or Kahler were considered to be essential equipment. So, in a way, this is a revisiting of my younger days. I'm sure that ties into my enthusiasm, somewhat.

Well, de Melo, I guess it's up to you, Kenny, and me to revive the popularity of the SuperStrat!
Given that Fender now owns Charvel and Jackson, that should be easy!
(hint: we need a Charvel and Jackson sub-forum on the Fender Forum, since the labels are owned by Fender. No other Fender forum that I've seen includes those brands. It would set this forum apart!)
Even Fender's own corporate forum treats those brands as red-headed stepchildren.

I just checked Fedex tracking. It's on the truck for delivery today!
Spandex and bangle bracelets would go with that nicely ;)
CONGRATS wild man........just don't play with your Dinky too much it will fall off.....
