Description
In addition to serving as the rhythm guitarist and co-founder of the metal band Anthrax, Scott Ian has performed with countless acts, hosted The Rock Show on VH1, and has been a pioneer in the world of heavy music. Through it all, he's almost always been seen rocking a Jackson guitar, thanks to their wicked-fast feel and gut-punching sound. The X Series Signature Scott Ian King V "Baldini" is his newest model, and it's a remarkable high-gain guitar with a bold sound and an eye-catching look.
The Scott Ian King V features a nyatoh body and a maple neck, giving it a rich tone with deep lows, punchy mids, and snappy highs. Its neck-through-body design provides truckloads of sustain, and its compound radius rosewood fingerboard makes chording and shredding equally effortless. Players will also love this model's Floyd Rose Special double-locking bridge that allows for massive bends, dive bombs, and deep vibrato.
A player as brutal as Scott Ian needs a guitar with a sound to match, and that's why Jackson equipped this axe with a pair of high-output humbuckers. These pickups are mean, assertive, and deliver a mids-focused growl that's perfect for a wide range of rock and metal styles. Complete with a master volume knob, a tone control, and a 3-way pickup selector, the Scott Ian King V makes it easy to dial in a great sound for any high-gain setting.
Whether you're an Anthrax fan, a heavy metal musician, or a collector in the market for a killer guitar, the Jackson X Series Signature Scott Ian King V is an outstanding instrument that won't disappoint.
