Pro Series Signature Wes Borland King V KV
Unleash the Chaos. Command the Stage. When Limp Bizkit's visionary guitarist Wes Borland steps into the spotlight, reality bends. His sonic fury and visual artistry have redefined what it means to be a guitar hero, driving one of nu-metal's most influential bands to legendary status. Now, his signature Jackson King V delivers that same uncompromising power directly to your hands. At the heart of this beast lies a Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup – a high-output ceramic powerhouse that crushes with massive low-end chunk while maintaining razor-sharp clarity. The Invader's aggressive voicing cuts through any mix with the relentless intensity that defines Wes's signature sound. The 1-piece maple neck-through construction with graphite reinforcement creates seamless sustain transfer while ensuring your neck stays stable under punishing stage conditions. Every note rings with uncompromised clarity and endless sustain, giving you the foundation to build walls of sound. The compound radius ebony fingerboard flows effortlessly from comfortable chord work to lightning-fast lead runs, crowned with 24 jumbo frets and those unmistakable upside-down pearloid shark fin inlays. Luminlay side dots charge up under stage lights and glow in low-light conditions, ensuring you never lose your place during intense performances. Combined with Jackson locking strap pins and a recessed Floyd Rose 1500 series bridge, this King V stays locked in your hands and perfectly in tune, no matter how deep you dive into Wes's signature dive-bomb territories. With its aggressive King V silhouette, reverse Jackson 6-in-line headstock, and streamlined single volume control, this isn't just an instrument – it's a weapon of mass musical destruction.
