X Series King V Both X Series King V guitars present Jackson’s most regal shred machine affordably attired in features including basswood bodies, through-body maple necks with 24 jumbo frets, and your choice of active EMG humbucking pickups and Floyd Rose Special trem (KVXMG) or passive EMG humbucking pickups and TonePros bridge (KVXT). Their bound compound-radius rosewood fingerboards curve more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flatten out farther up the neck for KVXT
low-action bends without fretting out. All hail the King ‌
