Jackson Custom Shop King V KV2

The Lunatics Have Always Run This Asylum.. Jackson's Custom Shop didn't evolve from some corporate boardroom decision to chase boutique market share. This madness started in 1980 with a simple philosophy: if you can dream it, we'll build it, no matter how demented your vision might seem to normal people. That willingness to embrace the outlandish explains how Jackson became the default choice for players who view conventional guitar shapes as personal insults.

This King V KV2 Green Ghost Flame represents everything that made Jackson legendary - uncompromising performance wrapped in visual aggression that makes mall security guards nervous from fifty feet away. That stunning Green Ghost Flame graphic finish doesn't just look supernatural; it announces to everyone within eyeshot that whoever's wielding this V-shaped weapon takes their metal seriously.

You've probably seen plenty of pointy guitars trying to look intimidating, but this KV2 backs up its threatening appearance with serious engineering. That neck-through quartersawn maple construction delivers sustain that seems to bend the laws of physics - notes ring so long you'll forget what chord you originally played. The alder body provides balanced resonance that lets those dual Seymour Duncan Black Winter humbuckers truly shine.

Speaking of those Black Winters - these aren't your grandfather's vintage PAFs. Built specifically for extreme metal applications, they deliver crushing output while maintaining note clarity that lets every riff cut through the heaviest mix. Whether you're laying down palm-muted chugging or unleashing face-melting leads, these pickups respond with the kind of controlled aggression modern metal demands.

Those jumbo stainless steel frets on neck-through construction create a playing experience that's smooth as silk yet tough enough to survive the most aggressive fretting techniques. The Floyd Rose bridge keeps everything in tune through dive-bombing sessions that would destroy lesser tremolo systems.

This isn't just carrying on Jackson's custom shop tradition - it's proving that tradition was absolutely right from the beginning.
