Jackson · electric guitar
The Jackson Adrian Smith San Dimas Dinky is a rock powerhouse designed for guitarists who crave versatility and precision. This guitar is part of the Adrian Smith Artist Signature Series, drawing direct inspiration from the iconic Iron Maiden guitarist's own specifications. Crafted with an alder body, it delivers a balanced tone that resonates with clarity and depth. Its bolt-on maple neck is paired with an ebony fretboard, offering a sleek and responsive playing experience. The guitar features a DiMarzio Super Distortion humbucker at the bridge for powerful, crunchy tones, while the two Hot Samarium Cobalt Noiseless single coils at the center and neck provide a noise-free, dynamic range of sound. This combination ensures you can seamlessly switch between aggressive riffs and melodic solos. The San Dimas Dinky is equipped with an Original Floyd Rose tremolo for those expressive dive bombs and pitch shifts, complemented by Gotoh machine heads for reliable tuning stability. The instrument’s design is completed with a classic white pickguard and sleek black hardware, making it as visually striking as it is sonically versatile.
