General
When you see and hear this guitar, it becomes quite clear that this Jackson solid-body is ready to take on the rougher music styles. From the pickups and hardware to the metallic black finish, this guitar definitely makes a statement. The Pro King V has a matching set of Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers, directly mounted in the body, for a modern, ceramic sound with lots of definition and energetic trebles.
Jackson Pro King V Metallic Black: wood types, radius, and stable tuning
Thanks to the selected wood types, you get a solid, clear sound that is rich in sustain. The maple neck is fitted with alder wings by means of a neck-through construction, and the fretboard is made of ebony. Because of its compound fretboard radius, this Jackson V is perfect for rhythm and lead guitarists. Excessive dive bombs and a stable tuning go hand in hand, thanks to the R3 locking nut and recessed Floyd Rose tremolo.
Jackson Guitars
The renowned American brand Jackson Guitars was founded in 1980 by Grover Jackson and rose to fame with its customised V-guitar for Randy Rhoads. Today, many famous guitarists play a Jackson. Jackson guitars have an elegant design, a sharp headstock, shark fin position markers and a powerful sound that’s perfect for metal and hard rock. The Pro Series features many of the specifications of the handmade USA series, but comes at a much more affordable price.
