Hello friends, I come to show my ultra modified DK2 Dinky
The idea was to have a guitar terrifyingly modified but without appearing to, like a Beetle with a Ferrari engine

but the ultimate goal was to make this guitar sound exactly how I like, I think I've achieved

Image


Yes, it is a Jackson Dinky DK2M, originally It had a Maple Neck, but I changed it by one of Rosewood

Image


I hated the nasal sound and the lack of Sustain that It had, Now sounds more balanced, fuller bass response, greatest Sustain

Image

It has Metal Pickups Rings, fine-threaded studs to make the bridge height adjustment much more precise and Solid Brass knurled bushings
I Replace the original mics for a Gibson 4-conductor Classic '57 on the Neck, and a Seymour Duncan Custom JB-A8 on the Bridge, it's a sawing machine!!

Image


The electronics are quite complicated:
*3-way Megaswitch by Schaller to control the pickups position
*two DiMarzio 500kOhm Custom Taper Pot, one with Push/Pull for phase switching (On/Out)
*two Mini Toggle On/On/On Switches, For 3-mode Series/coil-taped/parallel pickup switching
In the middle position and coil tapped It have another Humbucker made of the Inner Coils, that is great because is noise free

Image

What could be better than a Floyd Rose made ​​by Schaller in Germany to keep the tuning perfectly and give that great sustain?

Image


the reverse side is pure lust:
*KGC 3/4" Thick 32mm long Brass Sustain Block with spring retainer bar
*Gold Plated Springs
*KGC Brass Spring Claw (milled from a solid piece of brass)
*Brass tremolo Stop (when I'm recording in the studio is better to have it fixed, but normally I have it floating)
*Clear acrylic cover

Image


Sperzel 6-In-Line Non-Graduated Tuners to make the String change very easy and fast, while ensuring a good contact between the strings and the nut due to its low profile
you can see also an Allen keys holder

Beautiful guitar bro! I've got the same but kept the maple fretboard because that's what I like about it. I wouldn't mind an ebony one though. I've also seriously thought about trying to find an archtop body for it in black just to mix it up from time to time. I definitely wanna upgrade the bridge though. I've already put an EMG 81/60 in it. I've always loved the EMG's but wow, I fell in love with the 60 in the neck. I couldn't imagine finding anything better for a neck pup. For me anyways. It was just perfect for what I wanted. A schaller floyd or FU floyd will be my next purchase. I've blocked the old one off in one direction already and love it now.
