Jackson USA Select KV2 King V

Jackson is a "made in United States" please! The CHARACTERISTICS are well known but we will be happy to call them: neck-24 Saddle boxes topped with a button in the back bne "wings Shark" pearl and vritable surrounded by a binding color "ivory". The frets are thin trs Unlike other amricaines Jackson is one of the peculiarities of the King V. May be a legacy of Dave Mustaine, who was fall asleep for 17 years with the MODEL? ... The wings are alder, a wood-sounding balance, a little "catch-all". We will not complain, it's not the crate (such as lime, for example)! The finish on mine is "transparent black" with a sheet of flame on the Saddle on the head and body. The chrome hardware (with original Floyd Rose) is the most beautiful effect. for electronic there are two volumes and a tone for CONTRL two Seymour Duncan humbucker, neck and SH4 on TB4 in the bridge. The slecteur is a "switchblade" three positions. The guitar comes in a standard tui! No worries about its protection! A small BMOL on the finish because I found two default on this guitar: a small piece of bne of the size of a head of Pingle a "jump on down a fret PRS and the guys at Jackson so tight the strap of the handle Lanir situ derrire ceui as it sank and is now at an angle. This words, it fits perfectly, but they could have all the same to be careful ... If not, the rest is perfect. srement I am an exception for those small default ...

UTILIZATION

Jouabilit spend. While the adchire all! Enjoyable? an empty word! It slides alone! The profile of the handle is ultra ergonomic shape with a fast spcial "KV2". I think the Soloist and Dinky are not exactly the same profile. The key is off, the fingers of the place, what more? To play it sitting a little complicated you have to have the time, but with a little practice you get used to. Standing is excellent! The guitar is perfectly balance, the handle back and is lgrement prs body (your servant). No broken shoulder perspective, the instrument is pluttlger. I personally do not like the fact that there are two knobs for volume and especially the deuxime is located exactly in alignment with the switch. When handling, it comes up most often on the knob before operating the switch. May be is it just me who slouch? Anyway, I prfrerai KVT2 a configuration (MODEL mahogany without Floyd Rose) with only one volume and tonality.

SOUNDS

The sound with microphones silent origins not bad but it lacked ... Finally, it is - say ... "Not enough balls my friend!" yes, Seymour Duncan is a little soft ... So I VIRS and replaced with EMG. An EMG-81 in the bridge position and an EMG-60 prs of the handle. Immediately, happiness intgral returned! I connected all these people in my Rocktron Voodu Valve and my Mesa Boogie 50/50, all restored by my new cabinet Mesa correct, and then ... Incredible! It sounds, but then, as a ring ... There is no wiggle is excellent. large super low Dfine, crystalline highs, mdiums balance (implied, not nasal), and that in clear sound in distortion. Gnrale dynamic sound perfect. You can not just blame the guitar, although sr, but I can only see that a ring name of God! the only thing weird is that the guitar sounds much better branch that "acoustically". Fawn on any tape it, this guitar is made for the electric sauce! From this point of view it is definitely a Queen ... or King? ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months and I think my next guitar trssrieusement will be another Jackson amricaine. I also know that like I achter the United States directly because the prices in France are simply theft! One can imagine only the margins should be the importer Franais (Fender, not to quote ...) when you see the prices across the Atlantic. It's a totally addictive guitar and one plays it and the less we want the rest and s'arrter! I do it again this choice without hsiter 3 million times and I recommend anyone possde adquate budget, for any Jackson amricaine elsewhere. With others, yell: Jackson Powaaaa!
