From Our Research Team:

Get Monster Tone and Great Playability from This Jackson!

The Jackson Select Series KV2 King V solidbody electric guitar is primed for modern hard rock and metal! As soon as you pick up a Select Series KV2 King V, you know you're ready to rock, with a fast-playing eastern hard rock maple neck (no pun intended), ultra-stable Floyd Rose original tremolo, and beefy tones - thanks to two humbucking pickups, courtesy of Seymour Duncan. A alder body offers up thick, crunchy sound with plenty of bite, and the rosewood fingerboard is adorned with shark fin inlays. Create your own tonal fireworks with the Select Series KV2 King V!



Jackson Select Series KV2 King V Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Weapon of choice
  • Stellar components and construction

Weapon of choice
From Def Leppard's Phil Collen and Rick Savage to James Root of Slipknot and Stone Sour and Derrick Green of Sepultura (just to name a few), some of the most formidable axe-slingers in rock have used Jackson guitars to generate their fretboard fireworks - for good reason! Jackson guitars are designed from the ground up for monster tone, amazing playability, and rock-solid reliability every time they take the stage or hit the studio. Of course, it doesn't hurt to look good, either; if you're looking for a visually stunning instrument to impress your audience and show that you mean business, you want a Jackson!

Stellar components and construction
What makes Jackson the solidbody electric guitar of choice for so many players? Start with the neck: hard rock maple with a comfortable, fast carve, it's joined to a rosewood compound radius fingerboard and optimized for blazing leads and massive chords alike. Jackson guitar bodies are designed with killer tone and eye-catching looks in mind, providing distinctive body shapes while staying lightweight enough to play all night. Jackson uses premium Seymour Duncan pickups for ample output so you can get the most out of your amp. Top-flite hardware is another Jackson hallmark, including highly stable trem bridge units and dependable tuning machines.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
