Jackson Dinky: JS20 (negative highlights)

We are hesitant to highlight the anomalies of our instruments for the fear that in time to come, should we intend to sell them off, they would not command a good selling price. But there are some user-serviceable highlights that are worth mentioning because the potential buyer would then understand that you, the keen owner, actually addressed those issues & made the instruments more appealing. The strings in my Jackson Dinky JS20 were beyond rusty, as highlighted here. But we all know that strings could be easily replaced, so no major handicap there.

How 'bout this? A crooked bridge vibrato block? What does it imply? Simple- the springs in there were not screwed to promote a uniform alignment. The matters highlighted here were attended to quickly. They were easy tinkering which the user could address, my advice to you is to be familiar with your instrument as much as possible. Do not be afraid to use the screwdriver should the need arise.
