  • I wish Jackson USA would make KV2's without the Floyd Rose.

    I know there's the KV2T but I don't like its inlays, I prefer sharkfins. Locking trems drive me insane, I have to fork out extra each time to have them blocked and maintaining them is an excruciating chore. I've never been a whammy guy so it's just a useless feature for me. I've tried other guitar brands but none of them compare to the look and feel of a Jackson USA King V.

    I know there's a bunch of Jackson Pro series KV's out there which are string-thru but the inlays in those things are so cheap and tacky looking there's no way I'm paying around a grand for an instrument with pearloid or aluminoid inlays.

    Anyone know if Jackson has any plans to make a KV2 without a Floyd in the future? Are there any custom shop models out there without a Floyd? The only solution I can think of is to hunt down a used Dave Mustaine KV1 but they're so rare (here in the UK) they're almost impossible to find... and second hand guitars are usually so used and abused they require a lot of work.

    Order a KV2 Custom Select with a TOM bridge, problem solved.

      You mean, contact their contact shop and ask them to build a KV2 to my specifications? Because that would actually cause more problems for me hahaha it'd cost an arm and a leg and then I'd have to pay for import charges. Thanks for the suggestion though

        Blocking a Floyd is easy and not something you'd really need to get a tech to do, and then once it's done, there should be no inherent 'maintenance' of the Floyd. It's just a lump of metal with some fine tuners on the back if it's blocked.

        Custom Select would be barely any more expensive than any new USA KV2, and you'd always have to pay import charges. Whether you know you're paying them (i.e. when you buy from a UK dealer) or not, you're paying them..
        Popular is not the same as good
        Rare is not the same as valuable
        Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

          You might actually be cheaper off if you can circumvent the distributor
