Shred like a pro
The Jackson Signature KVX is an instrument that was designed with metal guitarists in mind, and its playability is a key factor in its design. The guitar features a nyatoh body and a one-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement that provides excellent stability and sustain. This combination of materials ensures that the guitar can withstand even the most intense playing styles without any issues.
Its 12"-16" compound radius rosewood means that the fretboard is curved, with a flatter radius at the higher frets and a more rounded radius at the lower frets. This design allows for faster and more comfortable playing, especially when performing intricate lead lines or complex chord progressions. Also equipped are sealed die-cast tuners and a Floyd Rose special double-locking tremolo system. These features ensure rock-solid tuning stability, so you can focus on their performance without worrying about the guitar going out of tune.
