DISC Jackson KVXT X Series Scott Ian King V, Black

Full Description

Jackson Compound Radius Neck

The KVXT X Series Scott Ian Signature King V Guitar guitar features Jackson's unique and innovative compound-radius fingerboard design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This design provides a smooth playability for both chords and riffs whilst the flattened heel allows sensational accessibility and speed at the high register, perfect for both lead and rhythm players.

Graphite-Reinforced Neck-Through Design

One of the most unique features of this guitar is the graphite-reinforced neck-through design. Jackson are renowned for featuring this construction, delivering greater playability and expanded sustain. The neck-through design is normally reserved for high-end, expensive instruments but Jackson have incorporated this design aspect at a fraction of the normal price. The graphite support rods provide even more stability for the neck helping the instrument withstand the rigors of extended live use and transportation.

Classic Jackson Headstock

The angled headstock featured on this KVXT X Series Scott Ian Guitar is carefully angled at 17 degrees, increasing the pressure on the strings and helping them to stay in the nut slots. In addition, an increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners, which equals better sustain and an overall smooth play.

Duncan Designed Pickups

The combination of humbucking pickups deliver a crisp, clear tone whilst retaining the highly dynamic articulation. Combined with the mahogany body, this results in a crisp, define tone that can be played aggressively and still retain its articulated sound. Players can easily achieve the perfect tone using the 3-position toggle switch and control options for Volume and Tone.
