“The thing I’m most excited about is it comes fully armed with my signature Seymour Duncan Damocles Blackout pickups”: Jackson and Corey Beaulieu ante up with the Trivium guitarist's new über-metal next-gen King V

Jackson Pro Series Cory Beaulieu King V: refreshed with quilt maple top, signature Seymour Duncany pickups and offered in six and seven-string versions – both with a Floyd Rose vibrato.

Jackson and Corey Beaulieu have extended their longstanding collaboration with another two signature King Vs for the Trivium lead guitarist that are so aggressively pointy, so aggressively spec’d, that some jurisdictions might demand you have a license to use it in public.

This is the metal guitar as a weapon. Jackson doing Jackson things. It’s not even as though the King V was ever built for lounge jazz. This super-aggro descendent of the Flying V was designed for more nefarious musical intentions.
