This KV2 King V is a seriously mean machine built for shredders and high-energy players.

It’s a premium instrument, but the build quality and tone are top-tier – a real statement piece for the serious player.

Frequently Asked Questions
The neck profile is typically a slightly flatter 'D' shape, providing a faster feel favored by many modern players, but it might feel a bit less familiar to those used to a rounder 'C' profile.
It's a bit more involved than a traditional tremolo, but the included setup guide and readily available online resources make it manageable; professional setup is always recommended for optimal performance.
Alder provides a balanced tonal foundation, delivering a tight low-end and focused midrange, which is ideal for high-gain styles while maintaining clarity and articulation.
