I have a Jackson DINKY. It's the Jackson DINKY DXMG model. If I understand correctly about the DNKY line, it's that the body itself is a bit smaller, but the neck is a standard sized neck. So, not a child size guitar, well, in my opinion anyway.


Of the two guitars you have pointed out, I personally would get the Jackson. Here's why :

1) I've played a lesser expensive Epiphone and just didn't care for it. It felt strange to me... Cheap.
2) The Jackson looks WAY cooler. (in this comparison anyway).
3) That Epiphone just looks like a toy, throw away guitar.
4) The Jackson on the other hand looks like a less expensive guitar just screaming for upgrades. A project guitar if you will.



Hmm... I've kinda been looking for an inexpensive guitar I could take to work with me and have there for my lunch breaks.... That Jackson looks kinda cool.
