Jackson X King V LRL SBL

The X series of the American brand Jackson is a mid-range electric guitar with a typical corporate design and great playing characteristics, but still at a relatively affordable price. Specifically, the King V models offer the Flying V body shape, a "V" shape popular among rock and metal musicians.

The construction of this guitar is composed of poplar body wings and a through-neck made of a single piece of maple with graphite bracing. This design has a positive effect on the sustain of the instrument. The fig fingerboard is fitted with twenty-four jumbo-sized frets. Its radius flattens towards the body - allowing both comfortable riff playing at the zero fret and comfortable ultra-fast shred in higher positions. Position markers made of imitation Sharkfin pearl make it easy to navigate the fingerboard surface.



Two active EMG humbuckers in the most classic 81/85 combination provide the instrument's sound with the necessary fullness and precise articulation for singing solos or chord breakdowns, as well as density and aggression for ultra-fast guitar shred and sharply chiseled rock and metal riffs. Volume potentiometers, tone controls and a three-position pickup switch are used for sonic adjustments. The strings are housed in the company's Die-Cast tuning machines and a Floyd Rose double-reverse tremolo, which you can use to add impressive sound effects to your playing.

For several decades, electric guitars from the American Jackson brand have appealed primarily to musicians from metal, metal/core, HC or djent bands who profess a loud sound with a more or less diluted dose of aggression, as evidenced by the company's roster of players. However, the radical metal design can also enchant adventurous musicians from the completely opposite musical spectrum, as evidenced, for example, by Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote, who in turn clearly prove that the sound of Jackson instruments can make its way into genres built on a clean, warm sound.
