| Product Description: | For limited time only, save 45% on the Jackson Dinky Arch Top JS32 DKA dropping from $399.99 to $219.00 when you buy this item at Adorama.com and Shipping is free! Swift, deadly and affordable, Jackson JS Series guitars take an epic leap forward, making it easier than ever to get classic Jackson tone, looks and playability without breaking the bank. The JS Series Dinky Arch Top JS32 DKA has a nato (Natural Oil only) body with arched top, bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite reinforcement and a 12"-16" compound-radius amaranth fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays. A pair of Jackson high-output humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets cranks out clear tone with plenty of girth and can be shaped with a three-way toggle switch and single volume and tone controls. Available in several striking finishes, the JS32 DKA also features white neck binding and all-black hardware including a Jackson-branded Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo bridge, standard strap buttons and die-cast tuners. One-piece Bolt-on Maple Neck With Graphite Reinforcement And Scarf Joint A type of neck constructed with a scarf joint for an angled back headstock, which in turn increases the tension behind the nut eliminating the need for string trees and/or string retainer bars. The bolt-on neck joins the neck to the body of the guitar with screws or bolts, allowing for more control, attack and sustain. 12"-16" Compound Radius Fingerboard Jackson pioneered the use of the innovative 12"-16" compound radius design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel. |

I have the purple HT version. It's really an amazingly easy-to-play guitar at any price once I upgraded its tuners and pickups and lowered its nut. The compound radius neck makes it very comfortable to play anywhere on the neck. I also like the neck's lack of (?) finish; feels pretty nice. The fret work was level (I was able to setup mine to 1.25mm action without buzzing). I was surprised with its fretboard inlays; very nicely done (zero gaps) and the neck pocket was cut perfectly too.

However, traditionally this is more of a metal / shredding guitar. Smooth Jazz / Blues would tend to use a semi-hollow or hollow body electric. Unfortunately there aren't many of them in the $200~ or lower price brackets. Most tend to start in the $400 range, like a Ibanez AS53/AS73 or Squire Telecaster Thinline.
But the venerable Stratocaster has been used in every type of music, and they can be had at cheap prices but still good quality like the Squire Bullet Strat or Affinity Strat. The telecaster is also popular in pretty much every style of music. And there is a semi-hollow version, the most affordable of which is the Squire Classic Viber 70's Telecaster Thinline. Solid body versions can be had cheaper in the Squire Bullet and Affinity series. I got a Squire Affinity telecaster new from proaudiostar for $150 shipped on sale.
Best bet is go to a good guitar store and ask. They can show you the different styles and different pickups and you can see which you like the sound, feel, and look of the best. I'd try to steer anyone to buying their first one in person and not online. Even with all the youtube videos, hearing the differences between all the possible combinations is best done in person.
I'll add this one other comment . . . you probably want a guitar with humbucker pickups. Many of the Telecasters and Stratocasters have a single coil, which will still work, but humbuckers are generally favored.
That said, I had a used Squire Affinity Stratocaster with single coil and I wish I never sold it.
Actually, one more comment . . . if you go with a hollow body or semi-hollow know that -- generally speaking and dollar for dollar -- the bigger the body the more "jazzy" the tone. So compare the Epiphone 335 to the Epiphone 339. Maybe you'll hear the difference, maybe not.
Good luck!
It has the Floyd locking nut. No need to upgrade it nor install locking tuners.

You don't need to do anything to the nut or the locking tuners. It has a locking nut. But the Jackson trems are notoriously bad. Just swap it out for an OFR or Schaller (depending on which one fits the route). So swapping the pickups and trem should yield you a VERY nice guitar.
I remember NEEDING a FR since that's what Dime and Kirk used when I was 16. Meanwhile, 24 years later, I've basically never used them. I would also buy the green immediately if it was a hard tail.
