What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
EMG 81 and 85 active pickups Aggressive, full tone; great sustain and dynamics
12"-16" Compound Radius Flatter up the neck for ultimate playability
Laurel fingerboard Chocolate hue; similar feel and tone to rosewood
Poplar body Lightweight hardwood known for bouncy tone

X Series guitars are loaded with purebred Jackson DNA -- including fantastic tone and ultra-fast playability -- along with unbelievable value for 21st century guitarists.

The Jackson X Series King V KVXMG's poplar body is paired with a through-body maple neck featuring a scarf joint and graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability to guard against climate and humidity changes. Featuring 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, its 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out.

Active EMG 85 (neck) and 81 (bridge) humbucking pickups deliver well-balanced tone with tight bass, glassy mids and crunching highs that can be tweaked and refined with a three-way toggle switch and single volume and tone controls. The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge system provides superior string stability and dynamic tremolo action.

This royal axe is finished off with a Jackson pointed 6-in-line black headstock and black hardware.

Upon arrival, I carefully unboxed this instrument. Upon visual inspection, it was flawless. Pictures do not do it justice, by the way. After checking out the setup, making sure, there wasn't any fret buzz, checking the Floyd, I tuned it and began to play.I am a rhythm/lead guitarist in Blood Rose, a Celtic Metal band, so the "chug" factor is tantamount, and how it will cut through the mix. Granted there are a number of factors that govern an instrument's ability to cut through. But, let me say, the King V has not any problems cutting through.The King V is a Metal Behemoth. Neck Through Body, a Floyd Rose, EMG 81 and 85, you're not going to be playing Pop, Country, or the like. Metal and Hard Rock of all forms are its best self. This Metal Beast will chug, scorch the air with searing solos, and drive hard rhythm.The fit and finish are flawless. It looks quite sinister, in my humble opinion, to the point of being even a bit evil looking. It is comfortable to play, easy to derive the sound one needs. At this price point, you'll not find a finer, well built, feature full guitar with any other maker. You owe it to yourself.

Sound
I was quite curious about the King V's sound, given the wings are of Poplar. I am accustomed to Mahogany tone wood, with EMGs. Let me say, the sound is off the hook. EMG 81 in the bridge position, EMG 85 in the neck position, is a classic iconic configuration, one I am a solid proponent of, in a guitar. It is, simply, hard to read more beat.

Features
This guitar is solid, on all fronts. The choice of tone wood for the wings, electrics, the pickups, fretboard material, and even the Floyd, were well thought out.

Ease of Use
It was as easy as check out the setup, tune, and play! All I had to do was tune it, plug it in, and hammer a solid power chord. The guitar and amp did the rest.

Quality
It is well built, solid, through and through. Even the Floyd.

Value
Yes, and much more. One of the biggest bangs for the buck.

Manufacturer Support
Nope

The Wow Factor
Everyone who's seen it, loves it. They say, yup, it's definitely, You.

Musical Background:
I've played guitar abo 50+ years or so, primarily rock, hard rock, and now Celtic Metal. Play rhythm/lead guitar and compose

Musical Style:
