The Jackson Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V KV7Q 7-string electric guitar gives modern metal players the extended range and precision demanded by Trivium’s lead guitarist. With its mahogany King V body, quilted maple top, and transparent black finish, this instrument commands attention visually and sonically. The neck-through maple construction reinforced with graphite rods delivers unmatched sustain and rock-solid tuning, while the 25.5" scale keeps low-B notes tight and articulate. Combined with Seymour Duncan Damocles Blackouts and a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series 7-string tremolo, the KV7Q is built for clarity, aggression, and control in any high-gain setting.
Seymour Duncan Damocles Blackouts for 7-String Clarity
Corey Beaulieu’s signature Seymour Duncan Damocles Blackouts deliver the crushing power and articulation modern metal demands. These active humbuckers are voiced for extended-range tuning, producing tight, percussive lows, defined mids, and cutting highs. The bridge pickup handles complex riffing with precision, while the neck position yields smooth, sustaining leads. A three-way toggle and single volume knob streamline control, giving fast tonal shifts from heavy rhythm to glassy clean tones. Whether you’re palm-muting low-B chugs or phrasing melodic solos, these pickups keep every note punchy and defined.
Neck-Through Maple Build with Graphite Reinforcement
The neck-through-body construction joins a maple neck with mahogany wings for optimal resonance and sustain. Dual graphite rods fortify the neck against temperature and humidity changes, keeping your setup stable on the road or under hot stage lights. An oiled finish provides a fast, worn-in feel, encouraging speed and precision across all 24 jumbo frets. This design enhances note definition, letting complex chords and leads ring clearly through high-gain distortion. Rugged yet refined, it’s the type of build trusted by touring professionals who demand consistency night after night.
Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Precision
The 12"–16" compound-radius ebony fingerboard supports both power chords and technical solos with ease. It transitions from a comfortable curve near the nut to a flatter surface up high, perfect for fast tapping, sliding, and wide bends. Twenty-four jumbo frets and signature pearloid sharkfin inlays complete the iconic Jackson aesthetic. The ebony surface adds clarity and snap, ensuring the KV7Q’s low-end stays articulate even through dense distortion. Every inch of this neck is designed to move as fast as you do.
Floyd Rose 1000 Series 7-String Tremolo
With a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, this King V is ready for extreme pitch control. The system’s seven-string design maintains rock-solid tuning through dive bombs, squeals, and aggressive vibrato techniques. A locking nut anchors tuning accuracy across the entire range, while the tremolo’s precision machining keeps intonation steady under pressure. Built for expressive players, it delivers stability and freedom in equal measure, letting you push creative limits without fear of drift or detune.
A 7-String King V Built for Progressive Metal
The Jackson Corey Beaulieu King V KV7Q extends the legacy of Jackson’s most iconic shape into the realm of modern, detuned metal. From its Damocles Blackouts to its Floyd Rose tremolo and neck-through sustain, every element is engineered for technical precision and sonic brutality. Whether you’re exploring low-tuned breakdowns, intricate tapping runs, or extended harmonics, the KV7Q empowers you to play beyond limits. It’s the ultimate weapon for players shaping the sound of next-generation metal.
