Jackson - Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V™ KV6Q - Transparent Black
Trivium has long carried the metalcore torch high, and Corey Beaulieu's scorching and memorable lead guitar work is a cornerstone of the band's punishing and heavy sound. Teaming up with Jackson® to modify the King V™ to meet his exact specifications, they created a signature guitar that sounds as vicious as it looks.
The Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V KV6Q features a resonant mahogany King V body with serrated points and a gorgeous rippling quilt maple top. Through-body maple neck construction ensures ergonomic comfort during long sets along with monstrous sustain, while graphite-reinforcement rods provide rock-solid stability even under the most extreme environmental and climate conditions. A smooth oiled finish on the back of the neck gives it that comfortable well-played feel. Built to withstand Beaulieu's onslaught of heavy riffing, the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard hosts 24 jumbo frets with old-school sharkfin inlays.
New Seymour Duncan® Corey Beaulieu Damocles™ Signature Blackouts® – Blackouts® pickups designed specifically for Corey's detuned progressive metal style, delivering the full-bodied high-gain tone. Tone is customizable with a three-way toggle switch and single volume control, while the Floyd Rose® 1000 Series 6-String double-locking tremolo system keeps this pro-level instrument perfectly in tune even after the deepest dive bombs.
Ready to throttle stages at a moment's notice, the Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V KV6Q is blanketed in a trans black finish with matching Jackson pointed 6-in-line tilt-back headstock, black headstock binding and black hardware.
