    His Jackson was a soloist. The main difference is Dinky’s have a bolt on neck, and Soloists have a thru-neck. The body shape is also a tiny bit different, and Dinky’s rarely have a string thru body

      Dinkys are also slightly smaller as they’re 7/8ths the size of a strat or soloist.

      Only dinkys that have a string through I know of are the C.O.W (Christian olde wolbers) signature and they are amazing, I have 2.

      There are a few other Dinkys I’ve seen that were string thru also. The COW’s were pretty nice.

    The weirdest thing is whether you're a Gibson guy or a Fender guy you always end up with at least one guitar from the opposing camp. It's so weird seeing Jim play Gibsons when he's primarily known as a Fender/Strat guy. I'm also a hardcore Fender guy but would love to own a Standard Gibson LP in Cherry Burst. That's one exception I'm willing to make. xD

    3:30 its actually a customshop model made for Jim. Theres a custom "root" inlay at the 12 fret. If you can find the picture of it hanging next to his coveralls you can see how utterly mangled the body is. It appears to have been either shot or gauged for aesthetics.

    That Jackson guitar at the end of the video, the one with the reverse headstock and the bolt-on neck looks just like the one that Josh Brainard, Jim’s predecessor in Slipknot, played when he was still in the band. I’ve seen footage of the band recording their first major label album at Indigo Ranch Studios in Malibu. And the first clip shows Josh playing a reverse headstock Jackson. The footage isn’t very good quality but it’s a piece of history. Definitely check that out. I’ve also seen pictures of him playing one live with the knot.

    That was in fact a BCR assassin. Jim was offered an endorsement at the same time Mick was back in the day under Rico senior,but the story is, Jim was a bit impatient about how long it took BCR’s custom shop to produce guitars when jr took over after his dad died, so Bernie Rico jr dropped his endorsement.

    Jim used a sunburst strat in 03/04 with both Slipknot and Stone Sour. It can be seen in a video from the houdini recording in which he, Mick and Joey jam Vermillion. He used it with SS on tour, for example the rock am ring 03 appearance which is also up here on UA-cam. Don't know what model it is. It's a sunburst model with maple neck and EMGs. Looks killer!
