Made in India. fast, 24-fret neck with those killer jackson sharkfin inlays. one volume, one tone, and a 3-way selector control the two Duncan Designed HB-103 humbuckers (modeled after Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortions). The strings go thru the body and a tune-o-matic bridge, all the way up the ebony fingerboard on the maple neck to the Jackson tuning machines. i bought a black one at a guitar center green tag sale and they gave me a Jackson King V/Rhoads hardshell case. What a deal.

I play mostly metal and some rock and blues and this guitar suits me PERFECTLY. I run it through a Boss V-Wah and into my Peavey 5150 2X12 combo amp. IT rocks. The pickups sound extrememly fat and are very quiet. I replaced the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker, and it sounds even better (IF THAT'S POSSIBLE). I love the sound of this guitar.

Factory setup is great. Props to Jackson on this one. Action was nice and low, but not buzzy at all, finish was deep and dark, just how any black guitar should be. MY only conplaint is the deepness of the nut slots, but that's just personal preference, it doesn't affect the sound or playability at all because the shape at the bottom of each slot is perfect.

I've played this guitar in 2 shows and it can definitely go for many many more. The hardware and construction of this guitar are built to last.

I've been playing for a year and a half and i have a 95 squier strat that i completely redid with a warmoth neck and an EMG-81 in the bridge and it still doesn't come close to my jackson. IF my King V were ever stolen, I'd kill whoever stole it and send their bones to the Jackson custom shop ao they could make me a new all-human-bone KVX10. I Love my JAckson and i STRONGLY reccommend that you go buy one right now. I only wish my jackson had a reverse headstock and black hardware to make it look even more NASTY then it already does. Other than that, IT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL AXE.

i love playing thrash metal like early sepultura, metallica, and slayer. this guitar is great for that on my fender 65 and digitech rp200. The action is good on this and its great. absolutely great for playing thrash solos.

The one outstanding thing about this guitar i noticed right when i held it was its light weight. it just feels great to play. kick ass. its far from perfect and only a select few guitars deserve a 10. but still this guitar is amazing

I bought this baby brand new. I haven't seen the KVX10 until 2001-2002; so I take it that its pretty damn recent. Its made in India. There are 24 frets, with 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way selector. The pickups are Duncan Designed by Seymour Duncan. this guitar has a bolt on neck, with a beautiful black finish and sharkfin inlays. The bridge is a tune-o-matic. Non-Locking tuners.

First of all, I play a hell of a lot of Megadeth. And this guitar is perfect for it. It sounds great for anything thrash metal or hard rock. I'm using the KVX10 with a Crate mx120r amp. The sound is amazing and you can do almost anything.

The action of this guitar is perfect. There were no flaws in this guitar whatsoever. Its just one amazing gloss black with sharkfin inlays King V. Simply stated. The best.

It suits my style perfectly. I play lots of Megadeth and metallica judas priest. My amps a laney tf300. and use a boss mt2 metal zone and jim dunlop cry baby. this combination gives me one hell of a classic metal sound. i also have a epi les paul standard for a thicker tone but for thrash the jackson all the way

Dependable guitar hardware is built to last. finish seems a little thin. im going to put strap locks on even though the buttons feel solid anyway. I bought this ax so i could use my les paul as bacj up and for variety. You cant play priest on a les paul and look the part.

Basic Setup of 2 humbuckers, 1 vol, 1 tone, 3 way selector switch. Seymour Duncan P/U's. Jackson Tuners, 24 fret, sharkfin inlays, Bolt on neck, Classic Dave Mustaine King V shape body! Tune o matic bridge, chrome hardware. The shape rules, but the neck makes this catagory deserve a 10 rating however the basic setup does not offer any pointless features.

Great for playing metal, I suppose blues, Great clean sound on neck p/U, I use this with a Marshall JCM 50 and Marshall 4x12 (Built 1987 apparently the Model Slash used before signature Marshall!) and a Korg AX300g multi effects. Love this guitar, sounds like what I want to Play (Megadeth, Metallica sound. Full & Bright sound. Perfect for me.

Factory Setup Perfect! Action is perfect great for Heavy rythym and amazing for Solo's of the Widdly Kind! Full on Jackson quality - no flaws even though its not the top of the range King V. The neck is slick fast, and plays very well.

Definately withstand live playing, but have another Jackson as Backup, Very solid guitar, Stays in tune after alot of punishment, finish seems very thick, Ive swapped the strap buttons for straplocks (Much recommended due to V shape and strap button positions) Probably would use it without a backup but Id definately take spare strings! just in case.

Not needed to deal with Jackson Ive been playing Jacksons for Years (Ive had a cheap JS20 great budget guitar, then got a KE3 Kelly) Now have a Jackson DK1 and this King V + a Parker Fly)

The only thing that slightly disappoints about this purchase is that it does not come with a hard case, it wont fit in a regular case, its too wide and needs a fitted King V case I guess. Definately buy it again if lost or stolen, If I get a pay rise I will probably buy the dearer model with a Floyd Rose and Silver grey finish, but love this guitar. Jackson quality is so reliable, this guitar is better than any PRS or ESP or vintage Gibson or Strat that I have ever played (and thats a lot!) amazing value, would actually consider paying more for it, great playability, great sound amazing look, Superb!
