For visual ferocity it's hard to beat the sharp lines of Jackson's King V body style, and the Jackson JS32 King V delivers that confrontational look at a value-packed price. It serves up thick, snarling tone and prodigious sustain, courtesy of its resonant, lightweight poplar body and two high-output humbuckers. You'll appreciate the smooth playability of the maple speed neck. And the fully bound compound-radius fretboard is great for chording down low, and bending up high without fretting out. A real Floyd Rose licensed double-locking tremolo bridge completes the package, making the Jackson JS32 King V a guitar any serious player can love.





Jackson high-output pickups deliver aggressive tone





Looking for rock-solid metal tone? The Jackson JS32 King V delivers. That's because Jackson equips the JS32 King V with a pair of their custom-built ceramic-magnet humbuckers. These high-output humbuckers give you plenty of punch and serious bite whether you're plugging into a tube amp or using amp modeling. We've played a lot of guitars at Sweetwater, and we're impressed with the bang for your buck you get with the JS32 King V.





Compound-radius fretboard delivers maximum playing comfort and performance





The JS32 King V features a 12"-16" compound-radius fretboard for ultimate playability. This bound amaranth fingerboard (complete with classic Jackson shark fin inlays) is rounder near the nut for easy rhythm playing. As your playing heats up and moves up the JS32 King V's fretboard, the radius flattens out for easier runs and big string bends. With a neck that plays this slick, you'll be up at the 24th fret before you know it.





Double-locking tremolo bridge gives you serious performance and stability





Are you the kind of guitarist who likes to grab the whammy bar and really lay into those bends? Good thing you're looking at a Jackson. Even this humble JS32 King V features Jackson's epic build quality, which includes a Floyd Rose-licensed double-locking tremolo that's so stable, you'll never have to worry about your intonation. So, go ahead, wail away ? your Jackson JS32 King V can take it.
