Jackson

Description

The Jackson JS Series King V JS22-7 KV HT electric guitar unleashes the power of a seven-string for metal and hard rock with its extended 26.5" scale length. The longer scale provides tighter low-end articulation so you can hear each note ring out with clarity, even when detuning or using heavy gauge strings. Its lightweight yet resonant poplar body offers comfort during long practice sessions while also enhancing sustain. The JS22-7 KV HT features a bolt-on maple neck reinforced with graphite for exceptional stability, so you can rely on its fast maple fingerboard for intricate solos and tight rhythms. With a compound radius design, the amaranth fingerboard has a flatter curve in the upper registers for easy bends while retaining an ideal curve for comfortable chording near the first fret.

Slay With Dual Jackson Humbuckers

This seven-string King V is armed with a pair of direct-mount Jackson high-output humbuckers that deliver thick, saturated tones perfect for metal. Hammer out chunky rhythms and searing leads with the bridge humbucker, then switch to the neck pickup for a smooth, singing sustain. A three-way toggle switch lets you blend both pickups or use each one individually. To shape your sound further, it has master volume and tone knobs. The Jackson JS22-7 KV HT empowers you to dial in everything from crushing distortion to singing cleans.

Built for Speed With a Sleek King V Body

Shred to your heart's content on the ergonomic King V body shape with its contoured edges and deep cutaways for easy access to the highest frets. It provides a comfortable playing experience whether you're performing live or tracking in the studio. Combined with its fast maple neck and amaranth fingerboard, the Jackson JS22-7 KV HT is built for speed. It also features a string-through-body bridge and sealed die-cast tuners for rock-solid tuning stability during dive bombs and tremolo picking.

Dominate the Stage With Iconic Jackson Style

With its sleek pointed headstock bearing the Jackson logo, jumbo sharkfin inlays and black hardware, the JS Series King V JS22-7 KV HT oozes contemporary metal attitude. Its menacing Satin Black finish perfectly matches its aggressive tone. Plug into a high-gain amp and unleash screaming harmonics, thick chugs and lightning-fast runs. Whether you're a seasoned seven-string player or trying extended range for the first time, the Jackson JS22-7 KV HT empowers your creativity.

    bought on a sale because i thought itd be a good 7 string to mess around with for my first, but man was i wrong. i understand its a cheap guitar but some of the things were just inexcusable. first of all, the intonation on the 7th string was permanently messed up, i adjusted the saddle all the way i could and it still wasn't right, but the intonation doesnt really matter if the guitar doesn't stay in tune, i literally only played on the 7th string for maybe 30 seconds before it had detuned by almost HALF A STEP. not to mention i could barely hear what i was playing considering how muddy these pickups are, they sound decent when playing in the regular range, but anything on the 7th string sounds muddy and has no clarity. like i said, i understand that its a cheap guitar, but all that stuff i mentioned is still inexcusable.

  • Best guitar ive ever had.

    This is a great product the strap holds great BUT the neck dive is horrible it's not unbearable but it takes some getting used to holding up the neck of the guitar while playing besides that is one of the best Jacksons I have ever played and would by again holds tune great and played perfect right out of the box.

  • This is a really nice looking guitar.

    fromCenter Ossipee, NH

    Few questions 1. Are there tuning locks or would we have to install them ourselves? 2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the pickup switch swaps between 3 settings, neck, both, and body? 3. Do the knobs control the tone or is there something else they control, because I can't read that small

    1) No, they are not locking. 2) You're correct. 3) You have one volume and one tone pot
