Scott Ian is best known as the rhythm guitarist and co-founder of the thrash metal band Anthrax, one of the big four thrash metal bands that established the genre. The influential musician has been playing Jackson guitars almost exclusively his entire career, and has been a signature Jackson artist since 2010. The King V "Baldini" is Scott's most prized guitar — created to pay tribute to his late friend and well-known metal guitar virtuoso Dimebag Darrell.
The Jackson X Series Scott Ian KVX King V "Baldini" is a more affordable version of Scott's treasured instrument, which offers a 24.75" scale length, Nyatoh body draped in an elegant Flamed Maple top, and a through-body Maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint. The 12"-16" compound radius Rosewood fingerboard features 22 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays, while its versatile voice is powered by a pair of Jackson high-output humbucking pickups. This signature axe also sports a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo, Jackson die-cast tuners and a pointed 6-in-line-headstock.
Key Features
- Nyatoh Body — This tonewood promises rich mid-range and tight lows; playing perfect host for the powerful pickups.
- Maple Neck with Graphite Reinforcement — A traditional timber known for boosting top-end attack, reinforced with graphite to keep the neck incredibly stable for rock-solid tuning.
- Neck-Through Construction — Promises piano-like sustain and enables easy access to the highest frets.
- 24.75" Scale Length — This Gibson-inspired scale provides slinky playability, perfect for expressive leads.
- 12-16" Compound Radius Rosewood Fingerboard — Dark and silky material that's rounded at the lower end of the neck to make chords easier to fret, and flattens out the higher you go so that fast passages are much easier to play. Also prevents notes from "choking" when performing string bends.
- 22 Jumbo Frets — Large size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato, with large white pearloid block inlays making it easy to know where you are on the fingerboard!
- Jackson High-Output Humbuckers — Emulate Scott Ian's iconic high-gain tones with ease via these potent-sounding pickups!
- Floyd Rose 1500 Series Locking Tremolo — Dip and dive-bomb to your heart's content without losing tune. Recessed design allows you to pull up on the bar to raise the pitch too, as well as create choatic "flutter" effects!
