The Jackson Pro Series signature Corey Beaulieu King V KV6Q electric guitar was built to deliver the precision, aggression and clarity that define Trivium’s lead guitarist. Its resonant mahogany body topped with quilted maple in Transparent Black makes a statement before you even plug in. Under the hood, neck-through-body construction reinforced with graphite rods ensures massive sustain and stability, while the 12"–16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard supports fluid shifts from rhythm to lead. Every detail—from its Seymour Duncan active pickups to its Floyd Rose tremolo—is crafted for players who live and breathe modern metal.
Seymour Duncan Corey Beaulieu Damocles Blackouts
Corey’s signature Seymour Duncan Blackouts are engineered for high-gain definition and low-end punch. These active humbuckers deliver searing output without sacrificing clarity, letting detuned riffs, harmonics and leads slice through the mix. A three-way switch and single volume control give quick access to a range of tones—from razor-edged aggression to glassy cleans. Whether tracking rhythm parts or ripping through solos, the Damocles Blackouts deliver the tight, focused tone Beaulieu relies on every night.
Neck-Through Build for Sustain and Stability
The King V KV6Q’s neck-through-body design merges a maple neck with mahogany body wings, producing exceptional sustain and tonal balance. Dual graphite rods add rigidity to resist warping and keep tuning consistent under stage lights or tour conditions. A hand-oiled finish gives the neck a fast, broken-in feel that encourages speed and precision across 24 jumbo frets. Combined with a scarf joint for strength, this construction delivers a responsive, road-tested guitar that can handle years of heavy play.
Floyd Rose Tremolo for Extreme Control
Loaded with a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, this King V gives you total control over dive bombs, flutters and squeals without sacrificing tuning stability. The locking nut and bridge work together to hold pitch, even through aggressive bends and shifts. Players can attack the strings freely, knowing this system keeps intonation rock solid. Built for abuse but engineered for precision, it’s the perfect bridge for metal guitarists who need expressive range and bulletproof reliability.
Ebony Fingerboard With Compound Radius
The ebony fingerboard offers both speed and precision, with a compound 12"–16" radius that evolves from curved comfort near the nut to a flatter surface for lead work. The 24 jumbo frets and sharp pearloid sharkfin inlays complete the aggressive aesthetic while ensuring effortless playability. The ebony surface enhances tonal brightness and snap, letting notes ring clearly through dense mixes. This neck design rewards technical players who demand smooth, frictionless movement across the fretboard.
