Jackson JS22 2H DKA Archtop - Satin Black

This 2018 Jackson JS22 DKA Archtop 2H in Satin Black is a fast-playing, high-output guitar designed for precision and performance. Built with Jackson’s signature Dinky Archtop body, this model features a poplar body with an arched top for added resonance and sleek ergonomics. The bolt-on maple speed neck and 12”–16” compound radius rosewood fingerboard with jumbo frets make it perfect for fluid solos and tight rhythm work alike.

Equipped with dual Jackson high-output humbuckers, this JS22 delivers aggressive, articulate tones suited for hard rock, metal, and progressive styles. The synchronized fulcrum tremolo bridge offers stable tuning and expressive pitch control, while the satin finish gives it a stealthy, modern aesthetic.

This example is in excellent condition with little fret wear, no repairs or changes, and a killer setup.  It comes with a nice Line6 padded gig bag for protection.
