Jackson X Series Scott Ian King KVXT Electric Guitar in Gloss Black

The Jackson X Series Scott Ian King KVXT is a signature electric guitar designed in collaboration with Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian. It features the distinctive King V body shape, known for its aggressive aesthetic and comfortable playing balance. This model is built with a solid mahogany body that provides resonant, warm tones with good sustain, paired with a one-piece through-body maple neck that offers stability and enhanced transfer of string vibration. The neck includes graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint for added durability and features a 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard, typically in rosewood, with 22 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays for clear fretboard navigation. Key specifications include a 24.75" scale length, which offers a slightly slinkier feel compared to traditional Fender scales, and a pair of Jackson high-output humbucking pickups that deliver the powerful, articulate sound essential for heavy rock and thrash metal. The hardware setup features a Jackson compensated and adjustable TOM-style bridge with an anchored tailpiece for stable tuning and adjustable intonation, along with Jackson sealed die-cast tuners. Controls are straightforward with a single volume, single tone, and a three-way toggle switch for pickup selection, all complemented by gold speed knobs and gold hardware against the gloss black finish and three-ply black pickguard. This guitar is ideally suited for players seeking a professional-level instrument with a classic metal pedigree. Its design caters to both rhythm and lead playing, with the compound radius fingerboard facilitating comfortable chord work and fluid soloing. The combination of tonewoods and electronics makes it versatile enough for various high-gain styles, while the signature elements pay homage to Scott Ian's decades of thrash metal innovation. It represents a ready-to-play option for intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for a distinctive, performance-oriented axe without custom shop pricing.
