A Wes Borland Jackson King V KV signature guitar marks his first signature collaboration with Jackson. The guitar is priced at $1,299.99 and includes a Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup. It features a 1-piece maple neck-through design reinforced with graphite, a compound radius ebony fingerboard, and 24 jumbo frets. A recessed Floyd Rose 1500 series bridge provides a locking tremolo system. Borland emphasizes that live performance requires volume, pickups, locking tremolo stability, and 24 frets, with durability for rough handling. He also connects the streamlined King V shape and Jackson’s over-the-top style to stage presence and how it influences playing behavior.
"“For me, you just need volume, pickups, locking tremolo system and 24 frets, that's it,” stated Borland. “Live, it just needs to be as bulletproof as possible. You know, I've been very rough with guitars over the years.”"
"“I've come to realize that the more streamlined our guitars are, the less problems we have on stage... You know Jackson is fun, the over the top, shred-a-copter shapes and my outrageous stage costumes pushing the boundaries, this fits in more with that. The way people dress, it affects how you behave, and I think it also changes how I play guitar.”"
"“The stylish guitar, which retails for $1,299.99, boasts a Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup, 1-piece maple neck-through construction with graphite reinforcement, a compound radius ebony fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets, a recessed Floyd Rose 1500 series bridge, and other features.”"
