Description
The Jackson KVMG Pro Series King V doesn’t just look aggressive — it’s engineered for players who dive-bomb, shred, and don’t want the guitar getting in the way. That angular V-shaped alder body carries a gloss black finish with a maple veneer top, while a 3-piece through-body maple neck adds sustain and stability, reinforced with graphite rods so it stays true under heavy tremolo abuse.
Jackson’s Speed Neck profile is finished with hand-rubbed oil rather than a thick lacquer, so it feels fast and worn-in from the first chord. The ebony fingerboard uses a compound radius (12″ to 16″), meaning open chords feel comfortable near the nut while bends up high stay smooth and buzz-free across all 24 jumbo frets. Alumiloid shark fin inlays and white binding on both the neck and headstock dress things up without softening the guitar’s edge.
Tonally, this King V means business: an EMG 81 sits at the bridge for tight, high-output aggression, paired with an EMG 89 in the neck that offers a push/pull coil-tap for single-coil-style cleans when you back off the gain. A 3-way toggle lets you blend or isolate them instantly. Down at the bridge, a recessed Floyd Rose FRT-O2000 double-locking tremolo with a locking R3 nut keeps tuning rock-solid through whammy dives, backed by black hardware and Jackson’s sealed die-cast tuners.
