The Jackson X Series Dinky Arch Top DKAF7 MS is a bold and innovative 7-string electric guitar designed for modern metal and progressive players seeking ultimate playability, precision, and tonal aggression. Engineered with a multi-scale design, this guitar features a 25.5 in–27 in scale length that optimizes string tension, enhances intonation, and delivers exceptional playing comfort across the entire fretboard.
A multi-scale fingerboard offers varied scale lengths—longer on the bass side and shorter on the treble side. This enhances string tension for tighter low-end response, improves intonation across the fretboard, and adds playing comfort for both rhythm and lead work.
The Dinky-shaped body is crafted from poplar, a balanced tonewood known for its midrange clarity and responsiveness. The arched top adds a sleek, modern contour for improved comfort and aggressive visual appeal.
One-Piece Maple Neck with Graphite Reinforcement & Scarf Joint
The bolt-on neck construction provides snappy attack and sustain, while graphite reinforcement rods add stability to resist warping. The scarf joint enables a more optimal headstock angle, enhancing string tension and reducing the need for string trees.
The fingerboard starts moderately curved at the nut (12 in) for easy chord work and flattens out to 16 inch toward the upper frets, making it ideal for fast solos and wide bends without fretting out.
Jumbo frets make it easier to press and bend strings with precision, while offset white dot inlays offer a clean aesthetic and high visibility on stage.
These high-output pickups deliver tight lows, crisp highs, and articulate mids—perfect for djent, prog, and metal styles. Their blade design ensures even string response across all seven strings.
A straightforward yet versatile control layout lets you quickly switch pickup configurations and shape your tone on the fly, whether you're chugging riffs or shredding leads.
Each string has its adjustable saddle, enhancing intonation accuracy and string separation. The staggered layout accommodates the multi-scale fingerboard for optimal tension and tuning stability.
The angled 4x3 headstock offers balanced tuning distribution and a striking aesthetic.
