Scott Ian's King V is all mahogany: a mahogany body with a neck-through mahogany neck, reinforced with graphite and joined at a scarf joint. The 24.75" scale is shorter than most of the Jackson line, which eases string tension, and the rosewood board has a 12" to 16" compound radius, 22 jumbo frets and mother of pearl block inlays.
A Seymour Duncan JB SH-4 at the bridge and a Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N at the neck run through a volume, a tone and a three-way toggle. The TonePros adjustable Tune-O-Matic style bridge with a Gotoh stop tailpiece anchors the strings, and Gotoh die-cast tuners sit on the six-in-line headstock. It comes in Ivory with a 1-ply white pickguard.
For a King V with an alder body, a 25.5" scale, an ebony board and a Floyd Rose Original, look at the USA Select King V KV2.
