New strings (Ernie Ball Slinky 9-46).Jackson Multi-Fit gigbag (not originally included) provided.General condition: 9/10 Frets: 9/10 Truss rod OK Electronics OK 100% original, no modifications.The Jackson Pro Series King V fully embodies the historic DNA of Jackson, a brand that has become a major reference since the 1980s in metal, shred, and modern hard rock. Popularized by iconic players from the extreme and technical music scenes, Jackson has always focused on instruments designed for pure performance rather than general versatility. This Pro Series King V perfectly illustrates that philosophy: a specialized guitar built for speed, precision, and stage impact.From an aesthetic and ergonomic standpoint, the King V shape remains one of the most iconic metal designs. It is not only visual; it also shapes the player’s technique and posture. The Gloss Black finish enhances a look that is both understated and aggressive, giving it a strong professional stage presence. This is clearly an instrument designed to be seen as much as it is to be played. Like all V-shaped guitars, it requires a short adjustment period when seated, but quickly feels natural when standing, where its balance is well optimized for this format.Build quality is one of the strongest points of this model. The neck-through construction directly contributes to sustain and overall stability, both essential in this type of high-performance guitar. The mahogany body provides a dense, solid tonal foundation, while the ebony fingerboard enhances attack precision and note clarity. The Jackson-style neck is fast and designed for technical playing, reflecting the brand’s long-standing “shred-friendly” approach. Upper fret access is particularly smooth, further reinforcing the instrument’s lead and solo orientation.Sonically, the guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups, known for their powerful and aggressive character. This choice aligns perfectly with the instrument’s purpose: a tight, focused signal with controlled lows, present mids, and a very clear attack. Under high gain, the guitar maintains excellent note separation, which is essential for modern styles such as metalcore, thrash, or technical death metal. Palm-muted riffs remain tight and punchy, while lead lines retain musicality even at high gain levels.The vibrato system is a Floyd Rose 1000 Series, part of the lineage of the original Floyd Rose designs, which are the benchmark for locking tremolo systems. This bridge allows for wide expressive range, including dive bombs and extreme effects, while maintaining tuning stability when properly set up. Like all double-locking systems, it requires disciplined maintenance, but it is an integral part of this guitar’s technical identity.In conclusion, this Jackson Pro Series King V Gloss Black is clearly aimed at experienced players already oriented toward metal aesthetics and technical playing styles. It is not designed to cover all genres, but to excel in a specific one: modern metal and high-intensity fast playing. It is a coherent instrument, faithful to Jackson’s legacy, and highly effective for guitarists seeking an expressive, fast, and immediately responsive stage guitar.Specifications: Serial: ISJ1800316 Weight: 3.590 kg Electric guitar type Gibson Flying V Mahogany body Neck-through construction in maple reinforced with graphite Beveled neck heel “Scarf Joint” Ebony fingerboard 24 jumbo frets “Shark fin” inlays Nut width: 42.8 mm Scale length: 648 mm 1 Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 humbucker (bridge) 1 Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6N humbucker (neck) Controls: Volume and tone Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo Black hardware
