Jackson Pro King V KVT Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:- Neck-through design for monumental sustain
- Optimized fretboard provides comfort and serious speed
- Wide range of tones from a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups
The Jackson Pro King V KVT owes its great tone and sustain in part to something you won't even notice at first glance: a neck-through-body design. The 3-piece through-body maple neck doesn't just join the body; it's actually part of the body! This configuration contributes to sustain in a big way, since the entire guitar is structurally integrated. Jackson employs a string-thru-body design that also bolsters sustain
Optimized fretboard provides comfort and serious speedWhat plays faster than the Jackson Pro King V KVT's ebony fretboard with 12"-16" compound radius? Not much! The radiused fretboard makes it easier to form chords close to the nut and is flatter up the neck for faster lead lines. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12" radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16" radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action, high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out. In other words, it's effortless to switch between rhythm and lead playing on the Pro King V KVT. It's this kind of playability that has made the compound radius fretboard a favorite at Sweetwater.
Ferocious tones from a pair of direct-mount Seymour Duncan pickupsThe Jackson Pro King V KVT comes equipped with a pair of direct-mount Seymour Duncan SH6 Distortion pickups for high-octane performance. Why direct mount pickups? The guitar experts at Sweetwater tell us that the thinking behind direct mounting is that the additional contact with the body results in increased tonal transfer. Master volume and tone controls give you tonal control over all three pickup positions, and the Jackson Pro King V KVT sports a hot enough output to make any amp scream!
