To paraphrase a song we once heard, you don’t mess around with the Demmel-ition Man.

Very true, that, and Jackson is supremely stoked to unveil the magnificent Demmelition King V guitar, designed in collaboration with guitarist Phil Demmel of Grammy®-nominated thrashmeisters Machine Head as a striking new Pro Series artist signature addition to the King V dynasty.

The Demmelition King V has the line’s classic sharp V-shaped alder body, with a more aggressive edge thanks to its additional cutouts and set up for the low-tuned brutal player. Its through-body quartersawn maple neck features a bound compound-radius ebony fingerboard (12” to 16”) with 24 jumbo frets, mother-of-pearl shark fin position inlays and black-bound headstock with an inlaid mother-of-pearl Jackson logo.

The barrage comes from an EMG® 81 bridge pickup and an EMG® 60 neck pickup, each with its own CTS® volume control and both controlled by a three-way Switchcraft® switch. Other features include a Floyd Rose® Original™ double-locking two-point tremolo bridge, black hardware and die-cast tuners.

Available in red with black bevels, black with silver bevels and white with black bevels.
