The Jackson Dinky DK2 is a 6-string electric and a part of their Pro Series guitars. This series is made in Japan for Jackson. It features two noiseless single-coil pickups and a humbucker as well as ‘Shark Fin’ inlays and a Floyd Rose® Licensed Jackson tremolo bridge.

The body is made of Alder and has a flame Maple veneer top on transparent color models. It’s available in Black, Cobalt Blue, Inferno Red, Satin Back solid colors and Amber Sunburst, Transparent Black, Transparent Blue, and Transparent Red with the flame maple veneer. It’s also available in custom paint such as Crimson Swirl, Erie Dess Swirl, Hot Rod Flames, and Skulls.

This locking bridge keeps your guitar in tune even while severely using the tremolo.

For unrepentant downloaders and audiophiles (like me), storage space is something we can NEVER get enough of. My music collection – read: lossless audio files, the highest quality possible – lies not in my shelf but in the belly of my desktop. Already at 350 gigabytes and continuing to grow at a daily rate, storage space now becomes a premium. If I were to backup my files on an optical source, I would want them to be reliable, robust, and large quantity backups – the dinky 4.7GB DVD just will not do anymore. Enter the DIGISTOR Self-Powered External Blu-Ray Burner.

Pearl is proud to announce the release of the Vinnie Paul Signature Snare Drum. From its snake skin finish and spike tube lugs, the new Vinnie Paul Signature snare drum wreaks of “attitude” that matches the outrageous playing style and stage persona of the drummer who made attitude a household name, Vinnie Paul. It’s the only snare drum that comes with a warning label! Its 14” x 8” 6ply 100% maple shell is the deepest snare drum in Pearl’s line and provides “amp-killing” unrelenting power and projection. Other features include tour-tested Superhoop II’s, stainless steel tension rods, and SN-1420I UltraSound snares.

For Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell to morph from the indispensable members of the legendary, hard hitting Texas band Pantera, to the indisputable twin forces behind the new band Damageplan, they had to reach down inside and find a “New Found Power”!! The phrase became not only the new band’s mantra, but also one of the more ferocious songs on the 14-song disk. It became such a big part of the Damageplan lexicon; they blessed it as the album’s title track [...]
