Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Designed as Scott Ian’s King V signature model, this Jackson combines a nyatoh body, flame maple top and Baldini artwork. A pair of high-output humbuckers covers cutting bridge-pickup rhythm and lead work, a fuller neck-pickup voice, and the blended middle selection. The maple neck uses a scarf joint and graphite reinforcement, with a 12–16-inch compound-radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets. Its Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo is built for pitch effects while addressing tuning stability.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Thrash and heavy-metal sets that call for aggressive rhythm tones and cutting lead parts.
- Players using dive bombs or wide pitch bends through a double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo.
- Stage or studio work requiring bridge, neck and combined humbucker selections.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for fixed-bridge hardware; this King V has a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo.
