Alder is my guess, since its open, varies in tightness, and its in a Jackson

My guess is Ash because of the strong grain patterns. Alder is a lot more subtle.

Looks like Ash.
Guys who are saying sen ash... how do you tell the difference? Just the V pattern?

The Japanese stuff has a characteristic look of its own. It particularly like transparent yellow finishes. Older members will remember Aria, Westone, some Ibanez/Greco/Roland and other early Eighties instruments made using this timber.

Looks like ash to me. As far as breaking it down farther than that I can't help.
The guitar looks nice to me but the important question is, how does it sound to you?

It's pretty light and soft, more like basswood than real ash. It's not bad though, just different.
Edit: working with it seems a lot like working with pine, I've never had a pine bodied guitar, so I can't compare, but that might be a better comparison.
Right setup, right pickups, it will sound great.

Which Dinky is it? Not many models have been made with transparent yellow finishes that would tell definitively which wood it is. From what I can see its an older "Professional" series which would make it Sen ash.
