As soon as I saw that black sweatband on your forearm I knew you’re a Hetfield guy! :-)

pacovl46 😂 true
Could be Mustaine too?
Yes and the way he holds his pick

Three years now for this video! But I just had to tell, that this is the best review of this guitar so far that I've come across!
Thank you very much!! :)
Great selection of songs. Good job. That Scorpions tone was spot on! It jumped out at me in the first few notes. Nailed it. 👍🏻
Thanks!! :)
5:34, jackson territory.
Sounds great
DUNCAN DISTORTION yea this sounded pretty good
Nice cover of Megadeth's Into the lungs of hell around 8 mins.
Thanks! :)
Fuck yeah. One of my favorite songs ever.
Very underrated album, kudos to you
Me : Opens review
UA-camr: Plays Welcome Home Sanitarium and nails the tone
Me : THIS IS THE GUITAR FOR ME
Edit : He played Still Loving You we need more people like him on the planet
He also played Always somewhere..
What time
@@patriziovolpes7237 you mean Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd?
Thanks for being the only one making a review on this guitar that ive seen. It good 👍
I just bought this exact same guitar. I also ordered the 81/85 set as well. The emgs are here already and tomorrow the guitar comes. Also got stainless floyd screws and a l shaped brass block.
nice upgrades!
That “to live is to die”
👌
Let me express my biggest thanks to reviewers like you, who got the balls to share the naked unplugged sound with us, cause for to the people who know, ths is all that matters, when choosing a guitar.
You're welcome, glad you liked it :)
@@NubsWithGuns I think he was being sarcastic
@@thebigmoist6937
I was honest, not sarcastic.
@@NubsWithGuns
I know music store visitiors like you very well. Knowing everthing better and playing guitar for a lifetime without having any clue at all.
"Hey man, its only the amp sound that matters ...."
Please do your thing and get out of my way.
@@iloveitall why so aggressive? also can u pls explain why the unplugged sound is all that matters?
I have a JS32 Dinky and it is great! I want one of these and a Soloist now. Awesome demo too!!!
Thanks! :)
WELCOME TO WHERE TIME STANDS STILL, NO ONE LEAVES, AND NO ONE WILL
Your the only one so far that shows affter useing the wammy low or high it reternd back to the same tuning witch makes me want to bye one even more thank so much
Wow, we have the same pick, guitar, audio interface, everything, except the amp. Love Jacksons to death. When they came out with this and the KVXMG/KVMG Pro models, I jumped all over them. 😂
Also, nice playing, dude. Subbed! 👍
Thank you very much! :)
Same man, Jacksons, especially the king v, are the best
@@alexmanuelgil9608 is it hard to keep it in tune?
@@pavel5283 late answer and not from the same guy but no not really, the locking tuners on the top keep them from de-tuning when you use the floyd rose, and in turn means they also wouldn't de-tune in general until you take the locking tuners off, and even if it does you have the fine tuners at the bottom to retune while the locking tuner is on.
That justice tone is beast
I have 3 of the JS series King V's. This is the last one I need fory collection. Although I do wish they would introduce new color options to this series. Until then, I plan to buy a bunch of ones just to have them custom painted. Awesome review btw 🤘💀🤘
Thanks! :)
Heck yea man sounds great. Excellent song choices. I just ordered myself one. Thanks dude.
Excellent review. Well done. I now know everything I need to know for an informed purchase.
Thank you! :)
BADASS. I will be getting one in a few weeks! This video makes me more excited every time I see it!!! Thanks so much!!! I will be posting my own Review on it on my channel!!!!
Did you purchase it? Thinking of getting one myself, what's your UA-cam channel?
I'm going to be honest, the King V, it sounds dope and one of the guitars that I"m going to be picking up just for either gigging (alongside my 2004 Squire 51) or just general recording. but I'll take mine in black.
Kick ass review of King V! That King V is a narcotic looking beast! Njoyd bro 🎶👍🎸.
Thanks! :)
You can mount the strap nut on the lower neck plate screw and improve the balance. You might be able to also add a few fishing weights inside the control cavity.
Hello there, when you're saying "lower neck plate screw" are you referring to the screw in the upper left corner of the neck plate? I think I'm gonna do it, but I'm not sure if I should put the strap nut on the upper left or upper right corner :))
@@victorstriga the screw closest to the 24th fret on the treble side. So if you're looking at the back of the guitar it would be the screw on the top left.
@@lifeinsaltlakecity4001 thanks a bunch for responding. Yeah, it'll make more sense if I'm putting the strap nut there. I hope it'll not affect the neck in some way though 🤔
@@victorstriga did you do it?
I wasn´t expecting To Live is to Die, nice cove man
Thanks :)
Dude you look like James Hetfield with that King V.
Jaymz has is axe lower.. YEAH`Ah!
Fun fact...James used Jackson for a very brief amount of time in 1987
Yeah and plays sanitarium too
James used the Jackson King V to made Master of Puppets (my english is bad, I'm brazilian)
@@marquitobach7213 it was a gibson not a jackson
Thanks for the review,this is the correct way how to review or demo the sound of the guitar,honestly review without mix any effect 🤟
glad you liked it :)
Great appreciation for the unplugged sound
Best review I've ever watched \m/
Thank you very much! :)
I'd love to here you do the randy rhoads solo from the song Mr Crowley on that guitar - that would be cool
I love that solo
I want into the lungs of hell played at my viewing and to live is to die at my funeral.
4:52 Still loving you JACKSON!!!!!!!
name of the song plase
@@EuPolemico still loving you scorpions.
@@izdethdethizthebassist thanks
Scorps tone sounds great
I really want a jackson and this review helped me out alot on whether i should get this guitar or not. Thank you so much
I'm glad it was helpful :)
How is sitting down with a V feel? I'm looking to get my second guitar and I'm looking at a few and I'm wondering if this is a good option for the price?
Hi! Well, i got used to it. It ends up beeing comfortable once you get used to it, it was a fast process for me. As for the value for the price, i would say yes, it's a good option.
megahurtz30 How much did you get it for because I see different prices everywhere
@@quicksand7474 you can find it from 300 to 400 Euros (i dont know how much that is for us dollars)
It basically sits in the classical position. If you already play guitar that way, it’ll automatically feel comfortable.
You have to play in the classical position.
I saw a Rhoads at a store and tested it. It blew my mind since it sounded better than a Mexican Strat and the Strat sounded no better than my Ibanez GRX70.
I play in a cover band called Machine Worx (Machine_Worx_rock_band) and this guitar quickly became my #1 choice when playing Metallica or Megadeth songs. Actually, pretty much any metal from Iron Maiden to Judas Priest, Sabbath, Ozzy and anything in between! Rock on!!
Nice! :)
Dig the intro to "Still loving you"
nice review and test, you look like hetfield but you play like a Schenker XD such a clean nice tones ups the scorpions :P, but distortion better than hammet used to :P, mustaine must be proud of you men, also im about to recieve an jackson dinky for Christmas this year i cant wait for it :D greeting from mex bro hugs
Thank You!! :) abrazo
My only concern about this guitar is the plug jack entrance placement but overall, it's a guitar I would really like to have.
atm i own a Ibanez GRX70QA really good quality guitar but tuning stability isnt great due to no locking nuts just a regular trem and god i love V shaped guitars due to players like Michael and Rudolf Schenker,Dave Mustaine,Kirk Hammet
I remember when I was younger and I used to think JS stand for Joe Satriani 🤣
:)
This best review of King V i've ever seen and I'm considering buying a V model.
Thank you!
I have this exact guitar. It's worth it.
How well does it play? And can I use a regulard guitar case with it?
you need a case like this www.amazon.com/dp/B000XYD794/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3341940462&pd_rd_wg=F81Ex&pf_rd_r=PXFPNXMEEN6XCJ1WF9QC&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-bottom-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B000XYD794&pd_rd_w=PYFnA&pf_rd_i=flying+v+soft+case&pd_rd_r=6cd5c332-80b5-4cc1-a11c-8f1f99cecc1b&ie=UTF8&qid=1518203592&sr=1 but it plays very nicely once you set it up. you can divebomb the crap out of it and it wont go out of tune if you've stretched the strings properly.
I'm looking for this kinda King V: www.thomann.de/fi/jackson_js32_t_king_v_fr.htm
For the balance, I'd move the strap position from the body to a strap holder you can put an extended neck joint bolt through. The top bolt closest to the neck. Then I'd put on a leather strap because they slide less. That seatbelt style material makes straps too slippery. I'm speaking from experience of having a guitar one time that had the strap holder at the neck joint being attached by one of the body/neck joint bolts. I need a high headstock playing position standing up and that guitar was comfortable to play standing up. In that Jackson (which I forgot to say looks awesome btw) resting your right forearm on the body is a good counter balance should there be any small drop after these changes. I'm considering doing the same to my js32 rhoads
Wow super rare Jeff Waters V! Those things are not cheap these days, if you can even find one.
Yes indeed, and signed by the man himself! :)
@@megahurtz30 Effin sweet! i have always loved those!
Una belleza de Guitarra!🤩
I really like this guitar good features at a good price
That justice tone, Holy shit!!!
7:13 may I get the amp settings? The sound is awesome and I have a King V now, I play with a 65 watt Peavey combo.
Hi. Yeah. I used a VST called TSE X50 (v1.0.2) and then another VST called Poulin Lecab2, to load two Slayer impulse responses (slayer_war_sample_IR, and: slayer_blood_rain_R_IR). That's it, and all that is free stuff! The settings on the TSE X50 amp where: Pre gain - 5; Low - 9,5; Mid - 4,5; High - 5,8; Post gain - 2,8; Low End - 8; Presence - 6; Powertubes (on the back) - 6L6; Poweramp - on; Red ch. mode - Mk1.
1:23 🎵 love love will tear us apart again 🎵
Tá boa , sócio!!!!!
:D
Sounds awesome!
Love your music keep it up
Thank you very much!! :)
actually i have two guitars, a stratocaster and a epiphone sg and i was looking for in like one year a new guitar, then i saw that jackson, is it worth it and just im really nervous about the floyd... cuz a jackson floys at that low price i know that they are not that good but does this one is nice ? i mean does the guitar get out of tune quickly or it's acceptable ?
btw, i really enjoyed that review/test songs were amazing and everything
I'd say it's good enough to maintain tuning. After a couple of years or so, i put a Floyd Rose Original, that i already had on another guitar. I probably wouldn't buy one just for the guitar, given how much they cost, but there are some other supposed good ones out there, like the Gotoh or the Schaller...
Just ordered it 😈🎸
Hey dude I liked what you played and the gear you used so I went ahead and subscribed to your channel brother.
Nice I just ordered the King V JS32T
I like it. It sounds great it's got a wild metal look. The balance of isn't perfect. Buts it does got enough bad ass qualities to overlook the balance issue.
A trick is to move the strap button to the leftmost bolt on joint screw
Thanks for the audio review. If you had to choose either this or the Richie Faulkner V for your first V which would you pick? Also how's the tremolo? Rock on!
Well.. 2 very different instruments. The Faulkner V is double the price, i expect it to be very good quality, but i haven't tried one yet, sadly. I think for a first V, it's probably wiser to go for a cheaper one, in case you don't adapt well to it. The tremolo is good, does the job, it's not as good as a Floyd Rose Original of course, but good enough for the price range of the guitar.
What is the name of the tapping solo you played? Awesome vid btw!!
Thank you very much! It's from a Megadeth song called: Into the Lungs of Hell
appreciated your presentation.
Thanks! :)
Hey man!! Awesome playing, do you live in Portugal? If u live then can you please tell me where can I get this guitar. This is my one of the favorites and thanks for the video man. Appreciate it!!!
Yes, i live in Portugal. Here is a link of a portuguese store: www.egitana.pt/jackson-king-v-js32-electric-guitar-white-w-black-bevels/p/10495?kk=a4c6294-18813f43298-e7889&kgclid=CjwKCAjw6vyiBhB_EiwAQJRoplmmCqpBe5AaRb8T-wPYbm2gPi3dwtxVrvONRnjHXv4D2l9qF4hdWBoCkvMQAvD_BwE&Jackson+King+V+JS32+Electric+Guitar%2C+Whi&from=kelkoopt
Tell them i sent you the link, maybe they will thank me or something :D
Cool video thanks for that 👍 thinking about getting one and swapping out the bridge and pickups. How u find the build quality? Is it still holding up well after all these years ?
Thanks! Well, it's made in China, but the quality is ok. The only thing i notice after these years, is the neck binding, near the neck pickup, is a little loose from the wood of the neck, but not too serious, a drop of glue will fix it easy, i guess... i don't even bother with it. Also, it would be great if the frets were stainless steel, as not to wear, but that is very unlikely to come stock at this price point.
@@megahurtz30 cool sounds like the guitar is pretty solid build wise from the neck stability to body. That’s awesome… I think I might pick one up. Yeah I own a bunch of guitars and must say the Stainless frets are awesome… have them on only one of mine … a Solar V 1.6FRC+. Also have a Jackson Pro series Brandon Ellis and it’s very solid… just wasn’t sure about the JS . Thanks dude 🤘 and cheers 🍻
Great guitar ❤❤❤ I have the black one. At 5:56, did you use any boost pedal for engl 15 for distortion and did you mic the amp with a software ?
No, no boost, i used just the amp. I mic'd the amp with my isolation cabinet, the Randall 4X12 ISO, it has inside a single 12" Celestion vintage 30 speaker, and i used a Shure SM57 to mic it.
@@megahurtz30 oh wow. Great 👍 I too will do the same thing. Will pick up sm57 and I have a line 6 dt 1X12 cabinet and a Mesa mini rectifier and for high gain in lower volumes and wattages, I use boss metal zone mt-2. Will try recording it. Thanks for your answer man. Anyways brilliant playing. Keep rocking 🤘🤩👍
great video man... good job. i think I'm sold... would be buying my 1st King V soon \m/
Thanks :)
Bro I was waiting for the shredding.
I'm saving up for this one btw
Hey I know this is an old video but had a question. With this being a bolt on neck do you have trouble with getting to the higher frets (17 -24) when playing lead? Nice video. Thanks
Thanks! The access to the higher frets is ok, but yeah, there is more volume inside your hand playing those, a neck-through or set-neck guitar would be better, but i can still play those frets
Hey! I recently got the fixed bridge version of this guitar. It's pretty comfortable, light, awesome tone and so far I've had an excellent experience with it.
However, I've noticed some neckdiving on it.
Have anyone have experienced this issue with the guitar, and if so, have you figured out how to face this issue? I've read about people placing weights in the electronics cavity.
Well, i think all you need is a good leather strap, like those made of suede leather, for instance, so that it grips well enough and prevents the dive
Get a better strap
To fix that neck dive just move the neck strap nobes up or down tell it stops dropping or you can shorten you neck strap on right side tell it stops dropping but I still want to bye the black with wight Bevels king v love Jackson guitars
8:32 was some Darrell Dimebag staff
I have the same guitar, but without whammy bar and some cheap nut (I think it is the T version). What strings do you use? Anyways, great video! Glad that UA-cam recomands me a good small channel.
Thanks :) I normally put the strings right at the start of the video. In this case it's Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10-46
Ahhh!!! You like the V? I like me pointy and wood grains and especially the V, any and ALL things V, see some V METAL here! /w\ /w\
I have a moded kelly js32t and i use d'addario nyxl because the distortion sound is better than other strings 😊
ertus306 and what about the cleans? I put seymour duncan pick ups in my RR Js32 but with Ernie Ball Cobalt 9-42 and those chords doesn't gfet me at all
04:00 simple man de linyrd skynyrd 🤘🏻
nice Scorpions riffs
Thanks!
Good testing dude
Thanks! :)
Those slayer impulses are really spot on
The metallica impulses too. Nailed the and justice guitar tone.
ANGEL OF DEATH!
MONARCH TO THE KINGDOM OF THE DEAD!
hello , i have other jacksons guitars but with fixed bridge...i recently bought this guitar .... just by listening to that solo " o swweet"... also i needed to try flyod rose... but after playing days.. my toggle switch has stopped working... any suggestions how to replace?? the toggle switch i am getting in my country are of epihone's copy one or vault's one.. wont they create a problem after changing?? there is no repair shop around, i have to fix by self?? pls suggest
I suppose the Epiphone one is good enough, just make sure to have a diagram of the connections, and make sure the switch fits the hole of the original one.
@@megahurtz30 thanks a lot man.... i have replaced with epiphone's one ... its fixed
Cool Portuguese Flag Sticker.

Portugal 😍

超羨ましいです
いつか絶対買います😊
Same
Is that a Jeff Waters sig model I spy in the background?
Yes it is :)
Very helpful review indeed, thank you. Just a little quesiton, what's the strap that you're using ?
Hi! It's a Dunlop D38-19BK Black Grommet guitar strap
Ah yes the guitar Hetfield used to track master of puppets
Yes a King V. His had a "Kill Bon Jovi" sticker, a fixed bridge (tune-o-matic) and Seymour Duncan Invader humbuckers (at the time)
@@megahurtz30 that’s good to know, thank you 🤘🏼
@@megahurtz30 "Kill Bon Jovi" sticker? Thats freaking dope.
Is it worth the it? I’m about to buy one I swear. I always wanted a V and this one is pretty cheap and looks cool
I think it's worth it yes
Does it stay in tune and would you recommend it? (as an intermediate guitarist, i can play Master Of Puppets solo, etc...)?
It stays in tune. Intermediate? Well.. maybe save a few extra bucks and get the next price line (the X series , i think) But mostly, try to get a bridge of Floyd Rose Original quality
Jackson Guitars 4 Life ❤👍
Nice guitar,nice playing.
Thank You!! :)
Thank you! Do you reccomed?
For a V, in this price... yes
@@megahurtz30 Thank you!!! What preset of amplitube do you use?
@@hiandlowwings4476 I used several different ones
Hello man nice playing and guitar. please reply, I need your suggestion on something. so I decided to buy electric guitar. and I found Jackson King V JS32T. I want to buy it. can you tell me is there any difference between regular king v js32 and js32T ? thanks ^_^
Thx :) The King V JS32T has a tune-o-matic bridge, a fixed bridge, instead of the Floyd bridge
No problem. Thanks a lot for fast reply ^_^ so quality-wise they are pretty much the same, right? Or is regular js32 better then the T model? Which should i pick?😁
@@biskviti2357 The quality should be the same, only a different bridge. A tune-o-matic bridge is much easier to change strings and tune !
@@megahurtz30 huge thanks , man! I'm a long time subscriber so I'll definitely keep up with the new uploads. Best of luck ^_^
@@biskviti2357 Cool!! Well, there is a video rendering and waiting to be uploaded right now :)
What’s the song at 3:53? It sounds familiar, I just can’t place it.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man
thank you for the video; 2:10 gives me all the reason not to go for this one... Just like the terrible experience I had with Ibanez Xyphos...
You mean the balance?
You Can USE a strap that holds it
Great review!
Thanks! :)
One tip man. Not that much of a critique but I noticed you play alot with your arm instead of your wrist Best to relax it a be smooth when palm muting or it tires you out fast. Also, how difficult is it when playing high frets in this beast?
Ok, thx for the tip, i try but... still working at it. Playing the higher frets is easy enough
@@megahurtz30 nah man, always feel bad about criticising people, but I'm made some much progress so much faster when working on my picking techniques rather than my fretting hand. You will soar fast with a free wrist. Good luck 🤟
@@briang8579 no doubt, proper picking technique is very important and one of the hardest things to improve, in my case at least..
@@megahurtz30 I mostly sailed fairly smooth, had no issue with pick angle. But I need to not anchor my hand as much so I can glide through notes. I always have my middle ring and pinkie resting below the high e 😂
I knew this was a good review when he started playing sanitarium
I really need to know. Where is this made? Deal breaker if it is from China. There is no "after 3 years" review. Thanks in advance
Yeah, it's from China. 3 years after? well, i modded some things (pickups and bridge) but there is no wear or malfunction to speak of...
@@megahurtz30 thank you very much
Hi. For better high fret access, would you recommend this over the kelly model from the same series? Thanks.
I haven't tried a Kelly, but this has a good access
Thanks!
Thanks for the info I found that on the guitar centers website it said whatever Jackson Guitar it showed them with chemicals but thanks again
Playing a little b-ball. Nice sweatbands, Jamez. ROFLMAO
Is that default bridge good or You recomend to change it for an original Floyd rose?
The default is ok, but of course, original Floyd Rose is the best, but also expensive
@@megahurtz30 i have Review that the gotoh is cheaper than Floyd rose and is Even better, it is japanese
@@LuisSanchez-qp8ki Is it? Ok, cool to know. The original Floyd is supposed to be made in Germany. There is also the Schaller version, also made in Germany and probably cheaper than the OFR. I guess the important thing is that the baseplate and posts are made of really good quality steel, as not to wear down
Força Portugal!!🇵🇹
:)
Do you know what songs you played in the distortion part of the review?
the first riffs were just something i came up with, then: Metallica - To live is to die; Slayer - Angel of death; Megadeth - Into the lungs of hell; And at the end a bit of Guns N Roses - Sweet child o' mine solo
