The Jackson JS Series King V electric guitar packs attitude and high-performance features into an affordable package aimed at aspiring metal shredders. Its iconic "King V" body shape immediately announces your arrival, while the dual Jackson humbucking pickups and Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo arm help you unleash screaming licks, dive bombs and all-out sonic aggression. The 25.5" scale bolt-on maple neck with 12"-16" compound radius rosewood fingerboard enables fast, fluid playing across the entire fingerboard. Top it off with a resonant poplar body and basswood wings and the JS Series King V gives you the tools to conquer the stage.

Unleash Your Riffs With Dual Jackson Humbuckers

The Jackson JS Series King V comes loaded with a pair of Jackson's own high-output ceramic humbucking pickups. With their beefy output, focused mids and tight low end, these pickups are voiced for contemporary metal tones. Run them through a crunchy amp and they'll reward you with thick, saturated distortion perfect for chugging riffs. The 3-way toggle switch lets you select the bridge humbucker for an aggressive bite, the neck pickup for singing lead tones or both pickups together for a balanced mix. Whichever pickup configuration you choose, the Jackson humbuckers serve your quest for the ultimate metal sound.

Divebomb and Squeal With Floyd Rose Double-Locking Tremolo

This King V guitar comes equipped with a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo system for serious whammy bar gymnastics. Like its original namesake, the Floyd Rose locking nut and bridge clamps down on the strings for rock-solid tuning stability even during the most extreme divebombs and squeals. The low-friction fulcrum design facilitates ultra-smooth tremolo motion. Whether you're looking to emulate Zakk Wylde squeals or Van Halen dive bombs, the licensed Floyd Rose tremolo on the JS Series King V gives you the tools to emulate your metal heroes.

Built for Speed With Compound Radius Fingerboard

The Jackson JS Series King V features a 12"-16" compound radius rosewood fingerboard that morphs from a tight curve at the nut to a flatter radius towards the body. This modern fingerboard profile combines the comfortable chord-friendly rounding near the nut with a flat, fast feel up top for unfettered soloing access across all 24 jumbo frets. The hand-rubbed graphite-reinforced maple neck remains rock-solid even under the pressures of heavy riffing. Topped with pearloid sharkfin inlays, the JS Series King V's fingerboard is built for both speed and style.

Resonant Poplar/Basswood Body

The Jackson JS Series King V gets its solid foundation from a poplar body with basswood wings. The lightweight poplar center provides resonance and sustain, while the basswood wings add stability and a balanced tone. The sleek gloss black finish looks fantastic under stage lighting. Whether you prefer to play seated or with the guitar slung low, the King V double cutaway body style offers unfettered access to even the highest frets.
