I'm having the fret ends done on the latest KV I got. I should be getting it back tomorrow. I had it done on my other KV shortly after I got it. I think the skinny frets on a KV make it feel more noticable than it would with regular jumbos.

If the V you recently purchased was used. It could be that the finger board dried out and shrunk. Leaving the fret ends to stick out of the edge of the finger board. This happens if a guitar is neglected and kept in a dry enviroment. The wood could have also not been dried long enough and it shrunk after the frest were installed. I doubt this as it is a USA Jackson. Thats usually the case on a cheap import like a Squier or someting and not a USA guitar. The best ifx ix just file the ends down. If it's new bring it to a certified JAckson tech. It's covered under the warrenty and should be done gratis.

It is used, but the classic reason for sharp frets (jutting over shrunken wood) is not what I am experiencing. The frets themselves were beveled in razor fashion, so finger contact causes abrasion. They need to be smoothed/dulled/rounded.
