Jackson 2910224503 JS32 King V Electric Guitar, Gloss Black

The Jackson JS Series King V JS32 is a right-handed solidbody electric guitar with the angular King V body shape, finished in Gloss Black. It is designed for players seeking a high-output, tremolo-equipped instrument for amplified guitar rigs. Its two-humbucker layout, 24-fret neck, and double-locking tremolo support riffing, lead work, and expressive vibrato techniques.

A poplar body keeps the instrument centered on a lightweight solidbody construction, while the bolt-on maple speed neck provides a familiar fast-playing platform. Graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint are built into the neck construction for added stability. The satin neck finish and bound amaranth fingerboard complete the playing surface.

Its Jackson High-Output Humbucking pickups use ceramic magnets and are arranged in an HH configuration. A master volume control, master tone control, and three-position toggle provide bridge-only, combined, and neck-only pickup selections. This setup gives players direct access to focused bridge sounds, blended tones, and warmer neck-pickup voicings.

The 12-inch to 16-inch compound-radius amaranth fingerboard is rounder near the nut and flatter higher on the neck. Combined with 24 jumbo frets and a 25.5-inch scale length, it provides room for chords, riffs, bends, and lead-focused playing. Pearloid sharkfin inlays and white fingerboard binding give the neck a distinctly Jackson appearance.

A Floyd Rose Licensed Jackson double-locking tremolo is fitted for pitch effects and locked-string operation at the bridge and nut. Jackson sealed die-cast tuning machines, nickel-plated steel .009-.042 strings, and black hardware complete the factory configuration. Connect it to a compatible guitar amplifier, effects pedal chain, recording interface, or other instrument-level guitar setup to build out a complete amplified rig.

Design & Installation

The JS32 combines a gloss-finished poplar body with a satin-finished maple neck, an amaranth fingerboard, and all-black hardware. Its neck is bolt-on with graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint, while the fingerboard has white binding and pearloid sharkfin position inlays. The guitar uses a Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock, black pickup covers, dome-style control knobs, and no pickguard.

For setup, use standard electric-guitar signal equipment such as an instrument cable and compatible amplifier or interface. The factory string set is nickel-plated steel in .009-.042 gauges, and the guitar uses a Floyd Rose Licensed Jackson locking nut and double-locking tremolo, so string changes and alternate tunings should be set up with the locking system and bridge balance in mind. A truss rod wrench is listed as an included accessory for neck-relief adjustment.
