The King V “Baldini” – An Axe Built for Metal
The guitar that’s up for grabs is a Jackson X Series Signature Scott Ian King V “Baldini”. It’s based on one of Scott Ian’s favourite guitars and was made in tribute to celebrated metal guitar virtuoso Dimebag Darrel. It’s more than just a guitar; it’s a weapon of sound.
Fluid Playability
The guitar sports an agile Nyatoh body with an exquisite flame maple top and an eye-catching Baldini Burst finish. This combination delivers a thick yet articulate tone that can cut through the heaviest mixes. And with its pointed 6-in-line headstock, this guitar looks as sharp as it sounds.
The through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint ensures rock-solid stability and smooth playability. The 24.75″ scale length, 12”-16” compound radius and 22 Jumbo frets make fast riffing and intense, technical leads effortless.
Whether you’re shredding at lightning speed or executing a bone-crushing riff, this King V will feel superb.
Powerful Pickups & Floyd Rose
Jackson X Series Signature Scott Ian King V “Baldini” is equipped with two Jackson high-output humbucking pickups. These humbuckers guarantee a punchy, high-gain tone that’s perfect for any style of metal.
The Floyd Rose Special double-locking bridge keeps your tuning rock-solid, even during the wildest whammy-bar antics.
