"Killer axe for the money..."

Feature:
I also changed out the stock neck, but that's only because I have used the same neck for years and prefer it to anything else. The bridge is a simple, Gibson-style tune-o-matic and serves it's purpose well.

Quality:
As always, Jackson delivers quality guitars at all price points. The finish is beautiful, the parts are of good quality, and it just felt like a more expensive guitar right out of the box.

Value:
Excellent guitar for the price, as are all Jacksons.

Desirability:
How killer are V's? The King V is named as such for a reason, this guitar is the king!

Sound:
I pulled the Duncan Designed pups out and popped in an EMG-81 and 85. I was actually surprised at how beefy the tone was.

Overall:
I suspect I will play this guitar for a long, long time.

"King V is a great Deal!"

Feature:
All good, but prefer better pickups, but the Duncan Designed do very well for stock

Quality:
Actually alot nicer than I expected. Fast neck, very light. I will say though, its difficult to play while seated due to the shape

Value:
For what I paid, there are 0 complaints

Desirability:
Great metal axe if thats what your into. I have a Les Paul and would much rather play the Jackson for metal

Sound:
The low end is what I like. It isn't muddy like lots of guitars. I recommend changing the bridge pickup to a Seymore Duncan JB for the perfect metal tone

Support:
N/A
