Description

Unleash your inner rock titan with the Jackson King V 3 Tone Burst, a guitar that marries the ferocity of heavy metal with a touch of vintage elegance. This solid body electric guitar is a descendant of the iconic Jackson Vs, known for their aggressive design and high-gain prowess. The King V sports a graphite-reinforced maple neck that runs through the mahogany body, ensuring exceptional stability and sustain. With a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups – the TB-6 and SH-6N – this guitar delivers a versatile tonal range, from warm lows to cutting high-output highs, making it perfect for both clean and overdriven sounds.

Beyond its sonic capabilities, this guitar is a visual stunner. Its neck and headstock are adorned with meticulously applied binding, while the ebony fretboard showcases elegant shark-eye block inlays, providing a custom feel. The TOM-style hardtail bridge not only enhances sustain but is fully adjustable, allowing for precise tuning adjustments. Whether you're crafting intricate solos or delivering bone-crushing riffs, the King V 3 Tone Burst is built to perform.
