And It Was All Yellow

JACKSON GUITARS X SERIES DINKY DK3XR HSS

- Paul Riario

THERE ARE LOADS of guitars in black or white, red and blue, or a cornucopia of sunbursts and natural wood finishes. But somehow, when I stumble across a guitar that’s screaming with a loud, bright neon finish, I easily succumb to my inner urge to take that guitar out for a fleet-fingered ride for all to see. And that’s exactly how I rolled when I test-drove the new Jackson Guitars X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS in a blaring Caution Yellow finish with neon pink pickups. Say what you will, but my temerity to strap on such an outrageous instrument is boundless. This X Series Dinky DK3XR is indeed a fast and loud guitar, and I’ll joyride this V12 Lambo-equivalent as my next six-string companion for as long as I can.
