Re: any pics

Here's one from the Gallery: Since it's from 1989, it's not technically a KV-2 with its Jackson pickups and electronics, 22 fret neck, and regular jumbo fret wire.

The KV is so much better with jumbo frets. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: any pics

Re: any pics

I already replied to your identical request over on the Megadeth forum, but here is another shot of the same guitar:



For as long as you've been digging around for info on Jacksons, have you had a chance to go play one yet? Playing a Rhoads or King V is an entirely different feeling from the more traditional body styles, so no amount of pictures will give you an idea of playability.

Larger/taller frets give you a better grip on the string - that's the biggest difference I can think of...

Re: any pics

I`ve got fairly small hands but I much prefer Jumbo Fretwire as I find it has a much more positive feel than skinny frets. Also, I like the extra height with the Jumbo`s, great for artificial Harmonics and tapping. The important part for me regarding the speed of a neck is the Neck profile itself, I find the Soloist neck a little too deep for my tastes but the King V/Warrior/Dinky neck is lightning fast, Perfect!!!!!

"to see the size and how it looks when you play it"

Didn't Dave Mustaine have a King V? Aren't there pics of him playing them?
NEWS FLASH: The King V looks the same on everyone of average height (like Dave).
I think you're just wanting to look at them because there are none in your area - kinda like porn [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: any pics

A cool trick is to replace frets 15 thru 22 or 24 with medium tall fret wire then level the new frets to the height of the jumbo's it will make it a little faster in the upper registers.I've done that for a few people and they seem to like it.It's not for every body but an idea.
