Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Finished in Metallic Red, the Dinky JS12 is a right-handed solid-body electric with a poplar body, 25.5-inch scale, and a bolt-on maple speed neck reinforced with graphite. Its amaranth fingerboard has a 12-inch radius, 24 jumbo frets, and dot inlays. The flatter radius is described as making chording easier, working well for rhythm parts, and supporting lead bends. A pair of passive, high-output ceramic humbuckers is controlled from a three-way selector plus master volume and tone knobs, with a two-point fulcrum tremolo bridge.
