"Killer axe for the money..."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I suspect I will play this guitar for a long, long time.
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.
Features
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.
The Wow Factor
How killer are V's? The King V is named as such for a reason, this guitar is the king!
