A king with regal bearing!

The Jackson KV2 King V USA Electric Guitar is a lavishly appointed version of the King V. With an Original Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo, alder body ( flamed maple top on transparent finishes), quartersawn maple neck with thru-body design, compound-radius ebony fingerboard with real mother-of-pearl sharkfin inlays, Seymour Duncan SH-4 neck pickup, and a Seymour Duncan TB-4 bridge pickup. Includes hardshell case.

Jackson's compound-radius fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out. With a more relaxed hand, you'll play better!

KING V 2

Reviewer's Play Style: DEATH METAL

I love my guitar. I gave it a 4 in terms of features, due to a bad choice of installing the tremolo system. The floyd rose with the insert blocks is the cheapest and a very unreliable tremolo system ever! You break strings, you break an insert block, and what do you do, you salvage your strings, or change them, or purchase a new block if you lose it or break it. How bout NO insert blocks? The 'fast load tremolo' is a great choice for this guitar and must definitely be considered by dudes in Jackson-guitars. Killer tone, thanks to the seymour duncan pickups. Great wood quality. And of course a very outstanding design flying V. Jackson makes the prettiest flying V, and I'm sure everyone agrees. As far as strings, they should really use higher gauge strings. This guitar can take it fore sure, absolutely. I'd suggest something around 11-52. Altho I'm using a 11-70 set and I gotta tell ya, I went thru a lot of filing to get that thing in that hole. This machine is a tank. It reaches into the back of your throat and pulls out your writhing skeleton. This is metal crafted with little remorse for the eardrums and souls of its people.

I played this guitar at the local guitar store. This blew away any guitar that I had ever played. Jackson uses the best stuff for everything on this guitar. It has low action so it plays FAST! Whenever I go there, I abuse the original floyd rose. Every time I come back, It's still in tune. It has a neck-thru design which provides incredible sustain. The seymor duncans make it sound brutal. I am planning on buying one of these in the near future.

My local music store had one of these in stock and I absolutely had to try it. It was the blue ghost flames one, and the picture does not do this guitar justice. This guitar was one of the best guitars I've ever played! No matter how much I abused the floyd, it just wouldn't go out of tune. I'm planning on ordering the one in black ghost flames. I just wish it wasn't so expensive!

The KV2 is an amazing guitar in EVERY respect.

Floyd of course NEVER drops out of tune, no matter how many dive-bombs..

It is a beautiful guitar to look at, but it plays even better than it looks, which is seemingly impossible because its so hot!

SUPER LOW action, action so low and buttery smooth with NO fret buzz...absolutely phenomenal.

Buy this guitar, it is worth every penny and more.

I have played other Jacksons before including Rhoads. The tone is (BRUTAL!). Plays very fast. It takes some time to get used to especially when sitting but it's worth it. I normally play Les Pauls so needless to say this took some time to get used to. The price is a tad bit high but if your serious about playing thrash then this is your guitar. Clean tone is not bad either. The only thing I would change is to Duncan Blackouts, asside from that I love this AX!
