Jackson
Description

Jackson is thrilled to introduce the King V KVXMG, a high-performance electric guitar built for speed, power and aggression. Featuring a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system, EMG 85/81 active humbucking pickups and a 12"-16" compound radius laurel fingerboard, the KVXMG empowers players with unmatched tone and playability.

Floyd Rose Special Tremolo Enables Dive Bombs and Squeals

The KVXMG's Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system provides players the ability to perform radical pitch bends, dive bombs and squeals. With a locking nut and bridge that remain in tune even under extreme changes in tension, the Floyd Rose opens up a world of expressive techniques for the ambitious guitarist.

EMG 85/81 Pickups Deliver Pummeling Tone

The KVXMG is armed with EMG 85 and EMG 81 active humbucking pickups that provide massive output and aggressive tone. The EMG 81 in the bridge position delivers tight bass, crunchy mids and blistering highs, while the EMG 85 in the neck position offers a balanced and articulate voice for rhythm playing. With independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, you can achieve any degree of output and sculpt your tone as needed.

Compound Radius Fingerboard Enhances Playability

The KVXMG features a 12"-16" compound radius laurel fingerboard that provides an effortless playing experience. Curved more dramatically at the nut for comfortable chording, the fingerboard flattens out towards the bridge for low-action soloing without fretting out. The compound radius, jumbo frets and sharkfin inlays make the KVXMG a high-performance instrument built for speed, accuracy and expression.

Lightweight and Resonant Poplar Body

The KVXMG has a lightweight poplar body that produces a balanced and resonant tone with rich sustain. The body shape provides ergonomic contours for hours of comfortable playing, while the elegant sharkfin inlays and bound fingerboard offer classic Jackson style.

    I've never had a guitar this nice -- frankly, it feels like I've unlocked a new level of skill that I wasn't aware that I had. Super comfortable to play (in fairness, I hold my guitar in the classical position), action is fantastic, pickups sound excellent! Would recommend.

    I believe its possible to get a lemon. I don't think it means Jackson has horrible quality control. If you have problems just send it back you have 45 days. After LTD SD-2 I will go for this Jackson 7 string. King V at that. All the players play on.

    I'm extremely disappointed in the Jackson X Series lineup. The guitar sounds, looks and plays great, but the manufacturing let this instrument down. This is the second X Series guitar I've bought from Jackson and it suffers from the same problem. There's a gap between the fretboard and the bolt on neck. This gap causes issues with tuning and the tremolo system. I'm not dealing with this issue, so I sent it back.

  • Plays great, sounds great!
