Maybe the answer to the question "what makes it a soloist" is the person playing it????

I thought a Soloist (shaped body wise) was a basically Strat with slimmer horns, while a Dinky was a smaller Soloist? I remember the PR in Music Emporium touting the "new" Dinky stying like in 1990 or so.

Nope. Assuming same number of frets, basically a Dinky body = Soloist body.

I agree with Ron, holes are what make a Soloist a Soloist. Now where is Budman to craft me a pickguard to cover up those blasted holes.............

Those sticky shiny necks on neck-thrus....yuck.
I've now been neck-thru-less for a few months and I'm never looking back!

You know you can clean the neck and remove the sticky without removing the mojo, right?

Nope. Assuming same number of frets, basically a Dinky body = Soloist body.

Of course Warmoth confuses the issue by calling their Dinky body a Soloist body...

+1, my brotha!


I love the Soloist, but these days, any Soloist that I own for any significant length of time is getting that shiny, sticky finish sanded off its neck.

When did the term "Dinky" start getting used by Jackson? I certainly don't recall it ever being used in 1986, whether in person or print.

Just use some maple toothpicks!

So why doesn't Jackson produce a guitar with just a neck-pickup and call it the Rhythmist? :ROTF:
