Description
The King V shape has been metal shorthand for decades, and the Pro Series version sharpens every edge of that reputation. Jackson carved this one from a beveled mahogany body for weight that feels right on stage, then bolted on a one-piece maple neck reinforced with graphite rods and a scarf joint so it shrugs off the temperature and humidity swings of touring life.
Run your thumb up the 12″-16″ compound radius ebony fingerboard and you’ll notice the design logic immediately: tighter curve near the nut for comfortable chording, flattening out as you climb toward the 24 jumbo frets. That geometry lets you dig into wide bends up top without fretting out, while alumiloid sharkfin inlays and clean binding keep things visually sharp.
Tone comes from a matched pair of Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers – the TB-6 at the bridge and SH-6N in the neck – voiced for the aggressive, high-gain output modern metal demands without losing note definition in dense riffing or leads. A single volume, single tone, and three-way toggle keep the controls simple so you can focus on playing. The recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo handles dive-bombs and pitch tricks while holding tuning stable across a set.
This gloss black finish pairs with black hardware and the traditional Jackson 6-in-line pointed headstock for a look that’s as committed to the metal aesthetic as the tone is.
