Pro Series King V™ KV
The king of high-performance guitars, Jackson's been designing instruments that exceed the requirements and expectations of modern metal players for more than three decades now. And with the Pro KV, Jackson takes the regal King V™ to even more majestic heights.
A guitar created for giant, crushing tone with head-banging, flamboyant style, the Pro Series King V KV offers premium features including a mahogany body with bevels and an ultra-fast one-piece maple neck with a scarf joint and pair of graphite rods for reinforcement against the assaults of temperature and humidity. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard hosts 24 jumbo frets and alumiloid sharkfin inlays and is designed for highly technical lightspeed playing - more curved by the nut for comfortable chording, it flattens out as you move up the speedy neck for increasingly fast playing speed and wide bends without fretting out.
With a commanding sound powered by brawny Seymour Duncan® Distortion™ humbucking pickups, this brutally powerful instrument delivers powerful punch while retaining clarity with enhanced note definition, a critical component for modern metal. The Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system will soar and dive without sacrificing your tuning, while providing laser-accurate intonation along the length of the neck.
With one look at this guitar the audience knows you're serious about playing the best - there's no mistaking the distinctive style of a Jackson. Elegant binding on the fingerboard and traditional Jackson 6-in-line matching headstock creates a feast for the eyes, leaving absolutely no doubt as to this instrument's lineage. Plug in a Pro KV and stake your claim on the throne of state-of-the-art guitar playing.

Highlights & specs
12"-16" Compound Radius Ebony Fingerboard
Jackson pioneered the use of the innovative 12"-16" compound radius design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.

Seymour Duncan® Distortion TB-6 humbucking (bridge) and Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6N (neck)
The powerful TB-6 trembucker was built for the most aggressive of styles—punk, gothic, thrash, hard rock and heavy metal. Ideal for dropped tunings, this high-output pickup delivers punch and raw, distorted rock sounds. The SH-6 Distortion neck pickup is perfect for driving—or overdriving — your amp's input, yielding a ton of crunch while maintaining clarity.
