Description

Get ready to unleash your inner rock god with the Jackson Phil Demmel PDXT String-Through King V. Engineered to match the fierce demands of Machine Head's Phil Demmel, this fearsome axe is not just an instrument—it's a statement. With its iconic King V body, this guitar doesn't just look the part; it plays it too. The 3-piece maple neck runs through the body, ensuring monumental sustain and a seamless connection between performer and sound.

The compound-radius rosewood fingerboard is crafted for ultimate playability, transitioning from a comfortable 12" radius for smooth chord work to a 16" radius for those high-octane solos and string bends. The 24 jumbo frets, adorned with Jackson’s signature shark fin inlays, beckon your fingers to explore new heights of shredding bliss.

Equipped with dual EMG HZ humbuckers, this guitar is ready to deliver a snarling, aggressive tone that cuts through the mix with clarity and power. These passive pickups offer the classic EMG sound without the hassle of battery maintenance, letting you focus on what really matters—your performance. Featuring dual volume controls and a 3-way blade pickup selector, the PDXT offers intuitive control over your sonic landscape.

Whether you're laying down thunderous riffs or screaming solos, the PDXT String-Through King V is your key to rock royalty.
