Jackson and Trivium Unite: Introducing the New Signature Model by Corey Beaulieu

Unveiling the Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V Models

Jackson® and Trivium have joined forces once again to launch an exciting new chapter in electric guitar innovation. The Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V KV6Q and KV7Q models are conceived through a close collaboration with Corey Beaulieu, the virtuoso guitarist of Trivium. These guitars are designed to meet the demands of modern metal musicians, ensuring that players can achieve the blistering power and precision that Beaulieu is known for.

Corry Beaulieu has been a defining force in the metal genre, evolving Trivium from a metalcore pioneer to a genre-defying band that blends elements of thrash, progressive, technical death metal, and groove. This new series perfectly embodies Jackson's commitment to constant innovation and making instruments that resonate with heavy music enthusiasts. Each detail of the guitars is meticulously crafted to provide players with the tools they need to push their sound potential further than ever before.

Exceptional Features

The Pro Series features two models: the 6-string KV6Q and the 7-string KV7Q, appealing to a wide range of players. These guitars are built for speed and agility with a compound radius ebony fingerboard, equipped with 24 jumbo frets and classic shark fin inlays that facilitate effortless playability. The body is crafted from mahogany with a stunning quilted maple top, making it a feast for the eyes as well as a powerhouse for sound.

A key highlight of the new signature models is the inclusion of Seymour Duncan's® Corey Beaulieu Damocles™ Signature Blackouts® pickups. These pickups are engineered to deliver a thick, articulate high-gain tone, perfect for aggressive playing styles, and are complemented by a Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system that ensures perfect tuning stability during even the most extreme string bends and dive bombs.

Corey expresses his enthusiasm about the new model: "I am truly excited to announce the launch of my new signature model. Not only does it look fantastic, but what makes me happiest is having my Seymour Duncan Damocles pickups installed. Being part of the Jackson family and continuing our long-standing partnership with such an incredible new model is a proud moment for me."

Jackson's Product Vice President, John Romanowski, shares his perspective: "Corey's signature model embodies everything Jackson stands for – relentless innovation, outstanding technical performance, and unwavering dedication to heavy music. I can't wait to see how players around the world will push the limits with these signature models."

Aesthetic and Functional Design

The King V's distinctive aesthetic is highlighted by a Transparent Black finish that complements its potent sonic capabilities. With a neck-through body construction, the maple neck provides superior sustain and playability, while the oil-finish back gives an instantly comfortable feel in your hands.

In addition, this signature model is built to withstand the rigors of touring and intense playing sessions. Thanks to the graphite reinforcement rods, these guitars maintain their performance stability under any conditions, making them ideal for professional use.

With the Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V models, players can unleash their full potential across various subgenres of heavy music. Whether you’re diving into technical solos or playing thunderous power chords, these guitars set themselves apart with their remarkable balance of power and precision.
