Powerful and flexible electronics
The Pro Series King V electric guitar’s muscle comes from a pair of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups. In the neck you’ll find the vintage-voiced ’59 model. This lower-output pickup delivers warm lows and a bell-like top end that works equally well with clean and high-gain tones. The JB humbucker in the bridge position — a favorite of many Sweetwater employees — is a high-output pickup with a midrange bump that helps cut through a lot of distortion and a loud band with ease. And thanks to their white color, these Duncans help the Pro Series King V MAH make a definite statement.
Neck-through design for monumental sustain
The Jackson Pro Series King V MAH owes its great tone and sustain in part to something you won’t even notice at first glance: a neck-through-body design. The 1-piece through-body maple neck doesn’t just join the body; it’s actually part of the body. Because this allows Jackson to mount the bridge and pickups directly to the same piece of wood as the neck, this configuration contributes to sustain in a big way. Add in the mahogany wings, and you have a ferocious-sounding instrument that balances aggressive cut with warm punch.
Optimized fretboard provides comfort and serious speed
Not many necks play faster than the Jackson Pro Series King V MAH’s ebony fretboard with 12"–16" compound radius — and not much! The compound-radius 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 and no chance of fretting out. In other words, it’s effortless to switch between rhythm and lead playing on the Pro Series King V.
