Aggressive 6-string Attitude

The Jackson JS32T King V solidbody electric guitar gives you instant attitude — sonically and visually. The amazingly affordable JS32T King V serves up thick, snarling tone and prodigious sustain — courtesy of its resonant, lightweight poplar body, strings-thru-body tail, and two toasty humbuckers. You'll relish the uber-playability of the maple speed neck and fat-fretted compound-radius fingerboard that lets you chord blissfully and shred without fear of fretting out. This axe will command attention wherever you wield it. Say hello to your new weapon of choice: the Jackson JS32T King V.

Compound-radius = the best of both worlds

The Jackson JS32T King V sports a compound-radius, bound amaranth fingerboard with jumbo frets. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 12-inch radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed chord work. Up top, a 16-inch radius lays it all out flat for effortless, low-action high-speed runs with monumental string bends without fretting out. The best of both worlds.

Maple neck and string-thru-body tailpiece = prodigious sustain

From bow to stern, the Jackson JS32T King V is set up for mammoth sustain. You get a maple speed neck — one of the hardest tonewoods around — and a string-thru-body tailpiece. Top that off with two attitude-laden high-output Jackson humbuckers with ceramic magnets, and you've got a recipe for serious sustain.

If looks could kill...

If you're after a guitar that looks as mean as it sounds, Sweetwater has your axe. The King V body shape alone is enough to convey instant attitude. Throw in Jackson's distinctive pointy headstock and Sharkfin position inlays, and you've got one arresting-looking guitar. The Jackson JS32T King V is one of the sharpest-looking guitars around; a serious axe wielder's instrument of destruction. Exactly what you've been looking for, right?

Jackson JS32T King V Features:

  • Lightweight and resonant poplar King V body conveys instant attitude
  • Bolt-on, graphite-reinforced maple speed neck facilitates fast fretting
  • Bound amaranth fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid Sharkfin position inlays
  • 12-inch to 16-inch compound-radius for your chording comfort and shredding pleasure

A JACKSON LESS THAN $1k…and RULES.

This thing is wild, like trying to put a cat in the tub, but once getting used to the body/strap knob placement and being aware of the headstock, you're good to go, my friend. I LOVE IT. The humbuckers are super-nice; hot as Hell but bluesy and bass-heavy with the full neck position.

PS YOU WILL KNOCK THIS GUITAR AROUND BEFORE GETTING USED TO ITS SHAPE & WEIGHT. INVEST IN A CASE, TOO.
Music background: Songwriting, guitar, vocals, lyrics, synth, drums, engineering, loving music because it is my life.

My first V!

I've had this for about 7 months now. This is a solid guitar for the money. I mainly play blues and blues rock, and this thing works great for that. Nothing fancy here, but I do love the neck. I normally play a Telecaster, but I needed something with humbuckers, so I went with this V because it's cheap and it looks cool. The action is set low out of the box, and the neck is very comfortable. I prefer it over the Telecaster. I have had a blast belting out screaming lead over blues backing tracks in my basement with this guitar. The pickups sound great for what I do. I did have to tweak the saddle a bit to get the intonation set right. Other than that, no complaints. I was a little worried about buying this, because I do sit down and play sometimes, and I thought it might be weird. But it turns out that I really enjoy playing the V sitting down, it's very comfortable. All in all, this is a nice entry level V.
Music background: Playing guitar for 29 years.

Worth every penny!

Plays great right out the box. Neck felt smooth and fast, string action a little high - easy fix, intonation was right, changed the strings to 10-46 and it's ready to shred. Mine had a slight buffer wheel mark in the finish, but that's to be expected with these affordable models. Overall, I would definitely recommend this axe! 10/10

Cool design while playing great

It is an amazing guitar, I have had it for a few days and it feels great to hold and play. I don't have any complaints about it and for the price I would recommend this for a beginner as well as any other level of player

Killer Jackson

Pretty spanking guitar we have here . You need to get it set up before actually being able to use it . Your trust rod retighten the machine heads with a ratchet . Make sure you don't put the tunomatic backwards it causes stability issues but it's backwards so dugh. It's a really good guitar holds up if you beat on it and keeps it's tune
