Yes, to a dude who plays in a Queensryche tribute band or is auditioning for Porcupine Tree (or vice versa), I would totally recommend this beautiful Dinky. That might be the Dinky’s sweet spot in the player spectrum. There’s an overlap of prog-metal and heavy guitar rock, right? Proggy hard rock. Jeez I’ve already jacked their precision action setting and one of the tuning pegs is buzzing so triple-sorries xoxoxo) (I for one can’t not superjam when rocking Unquestionable Presence so I will pre-apologize to Jackson if this demo returns to them in two pieces.

And that’s an issue cuz that tight body won’t crack your hip bones during Weinman-style spazfits, but its lack of tankness maybe spells danger during that kind of physical play. It’s also sweet for stuff like Between The Buried And Me, The Faceless, and Look Right Penny - prog-metalists with high-end compressors will do great - as well as intermediate-level tech-metal like Death and Atheist, but like me you may be nagged by the sense that stress will eventually lead to your busting the neck right off. Nah this bad boy is best at seducing and disrobing sexy stuff - think Steve Vai’s Slip Of The Tongue, Nuno Bettancourt’s Pornograffiti - stuff where your pick hand does a lot of lateral movement. But let’s go back to its body: Are you a power player like Eric Peterson (Testament) and Tommy Baron (Coroner)? Do you like to dig deep in on those chugga riffs (Morton/Adler, Sergeant D) and blast down on big, yawning chords and let them ring thickly all day (Carpenter, Cantrell)? Are you willing to trade access and speed for the balance that comes with heft? That’s not this guitar. Okay so those are the big impressions of this slick guitar for high-impact shredders. Even when you are kinda laying back, lazily noodling during the NBA telecast, you sound like freaking Paul Waggoner. Still let’s consider this neck a pro-quality thang.

However: I am all set with my slim, erectile fingers, but stumpier players might sweat the reach to thumb-mute the lowest strings. That’s the benefit of all that real estate. Its fretboard is rosewood - you wouldn’t be insane to get the DK2M, which swaps fancy finish for maple fingerboard - and feels amazing for high-volume legato runs and Mustaine-/Tufnel-esque tremolo pick-athons. Remember how you were staring into its spacey finish and then around the outline of its snug shape? By comparison, the DK2Q’s neck is wide. Like its body, the Dinky’s neck is great for fleetness and deftness. Rejoice, fans of Marty Friedman and Alex Skolnick. And my fret hand benefits from a clear path too, cuz the the inside of each horn - a guitar’s neck bisects them - has its edges flattened out (right) so u can rocket up to the 23rd and 24th frets like whoa.

To me, this means access no bulky, thick body will impede my pick-hand attack. Alder Body with Flame Maple, Bolt-On Rock Maple Neck, Die-Cast Tuners, Rosewood Fingerboard, 24 Jumbo Frets, Master Volume, Master Tone Controls.
