USA Signature Scott Ian King V KVT
In a career spanning four decades, veritable thrash godfather Scott Ian has pummeled audiences with his huge sound and formidable chops. The USA Signature Scott Ian King V™ KVT features a24.75 scale length, mahogany body, through-body mahogany neck, 12"-16" compound radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and pearl block inlays, ivoroid neck and headstock binding and traditional Jackson 6-in-line headstock. This signature King V's commanding and distinctive voice is driven by a pair of modern Seymour Duncan® pickups - a crisp JB™ SH-4 humbucking bridge pickup and warm '59™ SH1N humbucking neck pickup that combine for highly balanced, flexible tone, with plenty of high output for immaculate cleans and raw, raunchy distortion. Equipped with a TonePros® adjustable TOM-style bridge with Gotoh® stop tailpiece and tuners, the Scott Ian KVT is available in an Ivory finish with a white pickguard, set off by chrome hardware.
