Jackson 7-string guitar for modern metal and djent
If you need a 7-string guitar built for low tunings, tight riffs and high-gain tones, the Jackson JS Series Dinky® Arch Top JS22-7 DKA HT is a strong match. Its 26.5” scale length adds extra tension to the lower strings, helping the low end stay tight and well defined in drop tunings and heavy rhythm work.
The direct-mounted Jackson high-output humbuckers deliver plenty of output and an aggressive voice that suits modern metal and djent. A three-way pickup switch, single volume control and single tone control keep operation straightforward and immediate.
Fast neck and stable construction
The poplar body with arched top combines a light build with resonance, while the bolt-on maple neck gains extra strength from graphite reinforcement rods and a scarf joint. That makes this Jackson dependable under intensive use and helps keep the instrument stable.
Its amaranth fingerboard uses a 12”–16” compound radius. That feels comfortable for chords near the nut and flatter higher up the neck for fast solos, wide bends and less chance of fretting out. The 24 jumbo frets and piranha tooth inlays complete the look.
Fixed bridge, black hardware and stage-ready style
The compensated Jackson HT7 string-through-body fixed bridge works with sealed die-cast tuners for tuning stability, sustain and precision. The AT-1 headstock with 3x4 configuration matches the bold design of this model.
The Satin Black finish and all-black hardware give the JS22-7 DKA HT a dark, minimalist appearance. If you like playing heavy riffs on a well-set-up 7-string guitar, Magna Music can also help with personal advice from musicians in the shop and workshop.
