My First King V!

[DK2M92]

So today my first non strat syle guitar came in the mail. Picked up a 1990s King V Standard with a serial starting with 31 (not sure what year). Ever since I started playing guitar in 7th grade I've always wanted a King V, mainly because of Dave Mustaine. On top of that I've always wanted a vintage Jackson as well because I've heard about how great their quality was. So in a way I knocked two birds with one stone with this score. Scored it off the internet from Music Go Round which atleast in the Midwest used to be fairly common to find one of their stores but in recent years they have closed almost all of them. Anyway scored off of there for $200 including the original hardshell case. She is a little beat up but that is ok considering it is a V that is about 20 or so years old, typical Jackson/V wear and tear. The tips of the headstock and the wing tips are a little knicked up, as well the body has some finish blemishes such as like belt rash and all that. So far it has been great it is even rivaling my DK2M which is quite surprising, I just need to find out what the bridge pickup is because it is not stock. It could potentially be a vintage Duncan or maybe its a DImarzio, have to pull it out and see.

Congrats! It's probably a 1993. A lot of these were made.

Nice King V, and even nicer sheets! Beavis and Butt-head rules!

Nice score! A friend of mine had one of those in the early '90s.

My first King V is a red 93 Pro Std 2H, so identical to yours except color. I love it!

Great deal! They were good guitars! But there is one thing that i dont like on this STD model - jack socket. Its not so comfortable if you will try to play it when sitting

Yeah man Im not too fond of the jack but thats alright cause I play it standing 95% of the time anyway. It dosen't bother me too much.
