Introducing the Jackson X Series Signature Scott Ian King V Electric Guitar, a tribute to the thrash metal sound of Anthrax's legendary guitarist, Scott Ian. This unique model embodies the raw energy and power of Ian's playing style, featuring a distinctive flame maple top and his iconic "Baldini" artwork that adds a touch of individuality to the instrument.

Unleash your inner rockstar with Jackson high-output humbucking pickups, designed to provide an aggressive tone that's perfect for heavy metal and thrash. Whether you're laying down a rhythm or diving into a solo, these pickups offer a versatile range of tones to suit both. The three-way toggle switch allows you to easily switch between the bridge pickup, neck pickup or a blend of both, giving you total control over your sound.

One of the defining features of this guitar is the Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo bridge. This feature guarantees tuning stability and allows for wild pitch bends and dive bombs, making it a key tool to replicate Scott Ian's uninhibited playing techniques.

The X Series Scott Ian King V also sports a fast-playing maple neck with a scarf joint and graphite reinforcement for stability. Its 12"-16" compound radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets ensures a comfortable and dynamic playing experience, whether you're chording or soloing.
