Jackson Pro Series King V KV MAH Natural Overview
The king of high-performance guitars, Jackson’s been designing instruments that exceed the requirements and expectations of modern metal players for more than three decades. And with the Pro KV, Jackson takes the regal King VTM to even more majestic heights.A guitar created for giant, crushing tone with head-banging, flamboyant style, the Pro Series King V KV MAH offers premium features including a mahogany body with a mahogany top and an ultra-fast one-piece through-body maple neck with scarf joint and graphite rods for reinforcement against the assaults of temperature and humidity. The 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard hosts 24 jumbo frets and pearloid shark eye block inlays and is designed for highly technical lightspeed playing—more curved by the nut for comfortable chording, it flattens out as you move up the speedy neck for increasingly fast playing speed and wide bends without fretting out.
With a commanding sound powered by brawny Seymour Duncan® JB/’59 humbucking pickups, this brutally powerful instrument delivers powerful punch while retaining clarity with enhanced note definition, a critical component for modern metal. The recessed Floyd Rose® FRT-O3000 double-locking tremolo bridge system will soar and dive without sacrificing your tuning, while providing laser-accurate intonation along the length of the neck.
With one look at this guitar, the audience knows you’re serious about playing the best. Available in Natural with gold hardware, the Pro King V KV MAH boasts distinctive Jackson style. Elegant single-ply white binding on the body, fingerboard and matching pointed 6-in-line traditional Jackson headstock creates a feast for the eyes, leaving absolutely no doubt as to this instrument’s lineage. Plug in a Pro KV and stake your claim on the throne of state-of-the-art guitar playing.
