Scott Ian, co-founder of Anthrax—one of the "Big Four" thrash metal giants—has delivered earth-shaking riffs and unparalleled precision for nearly four decades.
Now, you can channel the legendary thrash guitarist’s signature sound with the X Series Scott Ian King V™ KVXT. This powerful instrument features a 24.75" scale length, a mahogany body, and a through-body maple neck reinforced with graphite for added stability. The neck’s scarf joint and 12"-16" compound radius laurel or rosewood fingerboard (with 22 jumbo frets and pearloid block inlays) ensure fast, smooth playability.
The KVXT’s sound is driven by a pair of Duncan Designed™ humbuckers: a snarling HB-103B bridge pickup and a commanding HB-103N neck pickup, delivering a balanced, articulate tone perfect for heavy riffs and blazing solos. Additional features include a Jackson compensated and adjustable TOM-style bridge with an anchored tailpiece, Jackson die-cast tuners, and a pointed 6-in-line headstock.
The guitar is available in three striking finishes: the new Candy Apple Red with a white pickguard, Gloss Black with a mirror pickguard, and Ivory with a white pickguard. All models feature chrome hardware, black dome-style volume and tone knobs, and a black three-way toggle switch for a sleek, aggressive look.
