When metal legend meets iconic design, magic happens.
Phil Demmel has left his mark on the metal world through his explosive work with Machine Head, Vio-lence, and Metal Allegiance. Now, this legendary guitarist brings his signature aggression and precision to one of Jackson’s most iconic shapes with the Pro Series Limited Edition Signature Phil Demmel KV King V™ Polka Dot, a guitar that’s as visually striking as it is sonically devastating.
Built for Metal Mayhem
The Pro Series Phil Demmel KV King V™ isn’t just another signature guitar, it’s a weapon forged specifically for modern metal’s most demanding players. At its core lies a mahogany body paired with a three-piece through-body maple neck featuring graphite reinforcement, delivering the sustain and stability that aggressive playing demands.
The bound ebony fingerboard features a 12″-16″ compound radius that transitions seamlessly from comfortable chord work to lightning-fast lead playing. With 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, this neck is built for both technical precision and visual impact.
The Sound of Modern Metal
What truly sets this instrument apart is its EMG® pickup combination. The EMG 81 bridge pickup delivers the aggressive attack and razor-sharp clarity that defined the sound of modern metal, while the EMG 60 neck pickup provides thick, boosted mids and singing highs perfect for fluid solos. This pairing offers the versatility to handle everything from crushing rhythm work to face-melting lead lines.
