Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Metallic Red, the Dinky JS12 is a right-handed solid-body electric with a poplar body, 25.5-inch scale, and a bolt-on maple speed neck reinforced with graphite. Its amaranth fingerboard has a 12-inch radius, 24 jumbo frets, and dot inlays. The flatter radius is described as making chording easier, working well for rhythm parts, and supporting lead bends. A pair of passive, high-output ceramic humbuckers is controlled from a three-way selector plus master volume and tone knobs, with a two-point fulcrum tremolo bridge.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Chord-based rhythm work on the flatter 12-inch-radius fingerboard.
- Lead playing that incorporates bends across 24 jumbo frets.
- Switching between two high-output humbuckers with straightforward volume and tone controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; the instrument is specified as right handed.
- Players needing a case or gig bag included with the guitar.
- Players looking for coil splitting, a kill switch, piezo pickup, or active EQ.
