They’re full of fire. Each EMG pickup in the King V is packed with ultra-high output, active tone. Known for their powerful voicing and exceptional clarity, the EMG 81 and EMG 85 will give your riffs a turbocharged kick into the stratosphere. The 81 in the bridge offers the crunchiest, most articulate tone you're ever likely to hear. Saturation and bite fly out of this beauty like cannonballs, thanks to its strong midrange and treble response.
The 85 in the neck is also a volcanic pickup. Its reputation for pumping out quality lead tones is legendary, and it will bring your licks into a whole different dimension. Notes will sing with bell-like clarity, and scream with the gain cranked. You'll find that it tracks each note with total precision, meaning you can play as fast as you like without ever sounding muddy. Armed with these two pickups, you'll be taking your tone to the top.
Achieve total accuracy. A maple neck offers unrivalled smoothness for the ultimate playing experience. You'll feel complete freedom across the fretboard as your hand shoots along the neck like a rocket. If you like to shred – you'll love this guitar. And the fretboard is made from laurel, sublime wood which will have your fingers dancing on it all day. Fret transitions will feel smooth, and the tone is well balanced for exceptional sonic results. The brilliant playability combined with tonal flair ensures you get a superb response from your instrument.
It has no equal. The Floyd Rose Special Double-Locking tremolo bridge puts the power to create insane vibrato in your hands. These bridges are highly sought-after by guitarists for their incredible tuning stability – and because they let you use the whammy bar freely. Bend notes up to the stratosphere or down to the depths - you'll be able to carry on playing totally in tune. Add in sturdy Jackson sealed die-cast tuners and you've got one watertight guitar. The Jackson King V will not disappoint when it comes to razor sharp performance and supreme sound.
