Built to Kerry King's Specifications

As a longtime Dean artist, Kerry King designed his signature V model to have the features needed to produce his punishing tone and playing style. It has a resonant mahogany body, 24.75" scale length, and slim yet sturdy neck ideal for shredding at high speeds. The ebony fingerboard's smooth finish and jumbo frets make it easy to bend notes and move quickly across the neck.

High-Output Electronics Provide Distorted Aggression

The Kerry King V is equipped with an EMG 81/85 pickup set, producing a hot, distorted tone perfect for heavy metal and hard rock. The EMG 85 in the neck position has warm, full lows while the 81 bridge pickup has tighter bass and crunchy highs. A PA2 preamp booster provides gain to push the pickups into saturated overdrive.

Kahler Tremolo Allows Extreme Pitch Bends

A Kahler Hybrid tremolo system gives players the ability to radically bend notes for squeals and dive bombs. The low-profile tremolo feels natural and returns accurately to pitch after extreme manipulations. Use the bar to add emotive inflections to solos or drop tunings for a momentary detuned effect.
