Jackson JS Series King V JS32 - Gloss Black

This is a great guitar. I really like the fret board, 24 jumbo frets, shark fin in lays, and floyd-rose licensed tremolo system and Jackson high-output humbuckers. I started playing when I was in 5th grade and the first song I learned was "smoke on the water" using barre chords (which I didn't know until later Ritchie Blackmore used 2 note power chords and the distortion of the marshal amp to create the iconic sound). I learned to play the double tapping run from "Eruption" when I was in high school and figured it out by trial and error (we didn't have YouTube). I am now learning every song I could not figure out (Round and Round, Lay it Down, Flying High Again, Crazy Train, Bark at the Moon, etc.), from YouTube guitar teachers (some of them the guitarist themselves - Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Randy Rhoads, Warren DeMartini, Jake E. Lee, Carlos Cavazo, Jeff Watson, Brad Gillis, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, etc.). Anyway, the guitar has helped me to grow as a person because it requires dedication, practice and an open mind to learn new things and work on things you are not so good at. But when you nail it (the riff, the sound, etc.) - it is the best coolest feeling ever. I have always thought the flying V was cool but I like Jackson's version versus the original Gibson version. I have a Jackson Kelly KE1 and a DX10D which hooked me on Jackson guitars. If you want high quality and value - Jacksons are the best!

It is exactly what I expected. It is exactly what I wanted. I bought this guitar with the intention of changing the electronics and some stuff about it.If all you want is to pick up a guitar and start playing and shredding this will accomplish that goal. It's a V guitar, You're here looking for a V guitar. This is a good V guitar for its price.The Floyd Rose works fine, the people complaining about it seem to forget that Floyd Rose lost its licensing years ago. There's no difference anymore between a Floyd Rose licensed and an original Floyd Rose in terms of manufacturing and development. To me it seems that the worry of switching out the Floyd Rose comes from people who are looking for a very specific sound that if you don't know what you're looking for you don't have to worry about it, and if you let the strings settle properly you're going to be fine.It has a neck dive just like any other odd-shaped guitar. Google some ways to add weight to it and you're going to be fine. It's comfortable for what it is and I was able to pick up, tune, and shred for hours out of the box.10/10 would recommend.

I prefer this V over a more expensive ($500 more)Jackson I had like ten years ago that had passive emgs.It requires a special stand and wont fit in the Hercules and rokit stands i have. I got a special stand here off Amazon that Fender makes.It sounds good going through my Joyo zombie bantamp and eminence loaded 2x12 Yamaha cab and my HX stomp running into an M1 mac mini and Kali IN5s.Great value and now I want the 7 string version.

Rad guitar! I’ve own various guitars ( from high end les Paul’s to Esp’s , B.C Rich etc…) Been endorsed by esp and schecter toured and played professionally for years . for the money you’re not gonna find a better guitar it’s a beautiful guitar fun to play looks beautiful. I would definitely change somethings like the Floyd rose and maybe even the pickups before hitting the stage !

Great guitar love how it sounds the floyd is a little shotty sometimes but that’s typically floyd rose i just started tightening the nut and it stays in tune a lot better after a string change and stretch i absolutely love how it plays and sounds very good for the money

My son loves it. We got this for him for his birthday and he loves it

Ordered a gloss black JS series King V. But received a white JS series Kelly. Grandson chose to keep this version as it’s the same price and components . Guitar was fine just not what was ordered.

Arrived on time. This guitar came protected and without any damaged parts. Set it up myself and stays in tune. Did a hard test on the whammy bar, doesn't lose its tuning. Smooth unglossed neck makes it easy to slide your hand and the action wasn't out of whack. Perfect for anyone learning or starting to use the floyd rose trem system. I've been playing for almost 14 years, and this is a very easy guitar to play.
