Overview
Built with more than 30 years of Jackson expertise, the Jackson King V KVX features a basswood body, through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint and a 12"-16" compound radius rosewood fingerboard that curves more powerfully at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the body for low action bends without fretting out. The bound neck is completed with 24 jumbo frets, pearloid sharkfin inlays and a traditional Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock.
Covered Jackson active high-output humbucking pickups deliver well-balanced tone with tight bass, glassy mids and crunchy highs, and can be manipulated with dome style single volume and tone controls and a black three-way toggle switch. Dive and soar expressively with the Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system, recessed for pick hand comfort and providing laser- accurate intonation and ultra-stable tuning.
A commanding figure onstage or in the studio, the X Series King V KVX is available in Gloss Black with white body binding and black hardware, or in Snow White with black body binding and black hardware.

Very well built guitar! The action is fast, the Floyd Rose stays in tune even after some serious dive bombs. Overall it has great tone and doesn't sound bad out of the box. The factory pickups are not the best and can sound a little flat at high gain but get the job done. I swapped them out with a set of Gary Holt EMGs I bought here on zZounds and now this guitar absolutely screams! If it wasn't for the factory pickups I would be have rated this guitar higher for sound quality.If you're looking at getting a King V but don't want to drop $1,200 for the American version this is an excellent axe to grind!
