An elite playing experience with premium tone and tuning stability.
The Jackson KV2 King V USA electric guitar puts a luxurious spin on one of the most iconic body shapes in hard rock and metal. From its high-end tonewoods to versatile pickup configuration, this premium V-style ax is built to inspire your most electrifying playing. Whether you're a seasoned shredder or an up-and-coming riffer, the KV2 King V has the features and feel to help you leave your mark.
Iconic V Style With First-Class Appointments
The KV2 King V certainly looks the part of a high-end shred machine, sporting an alder body with a striking flamed maple top on transparent finishes. But it's the finer details that elevate this guitar to true premium status. The quartersawn maple neck features a neck-through design for increased sustain and stability, while the ebony fingerboard is adorned with elegant mother-of-pearl sharkfin inlays. Every element oozes class while remaining 100% gig-ready.
Compound-Radius Fingerboard for Effortless Playability
One of the KV2's standout features is its compound-radius fingerboard. This ergonomic design sees the fingerboard curve more dramatically by the nut for easy chording, then gradually flatten out as you move up the neck for low-action bending without fretting out. The result is unparalleled playability from the first to the last fret, with zero hand fatigue. You can comfortably rip through intricate riffs and soaring leads all night long.
Searing Tone Courtesy of Seymour Duncan
This ax's scorching tone comes by way of a duo of Seymour Duncan humbuckers: the SH-4 in the neck and TB-4 in the bridge position. The SH-4 delivers a thick, liquid tone ideal for heavy rhythms and soulful leads, while the TB-4 has a searing midrange grind made for cutting solos and razor-tight chugs. With a 5-way blade selector, you can easily find your ideal pickup combination for any situation.
Floyd Rose Tremolo Unlocks Sonic Expression
Dive bombs, shimmering vibrato and radical pitch shifts are all fair game thanks to the KV2's Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo. This industry-standard vibrato system provides tuning stability and playing feel like no other, empowering you to incorporate wild tremolo antics into your performances without fear of going out of tune. The Floyd Rose makes it easy to explore unique sonic textures impossible on a hardtail bridge.
