Questions about JS32 King V

[Birdman642]

Hello,
I’m curious about the Jackson JS32 King V. I was planning on getting the T-O-M equipped version. They look really cool, and like they would make a good modding platform.
my main question is this, how is the fret access on the upper frets? It appears as though a good 5-6 frets sit relatively deep in the body. I’ve never played a King V, and don’t have access to one locally to try out. I’m coming from mostly playing Jackson Dinkies, where getting to the upper frets is a breeze. I was curious as to how it is on the V.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have one of each - JS32 Dinky and King V. (Both with Floyd)

The amount of body tapering out from the 20th fret is definitely more vs the Dinky where the body curves out from the 22nd.

But compared to my Dean Cadillacs and Les Pauls - not even a comparison.

Honestly, if you want to V get the V. You'll adapt quickly enough.

Awesome! Thanks Ace! I’ve been severely gassing over one of these
Have you done anything mod-wise to them?

Functionally? Nope. the pickups are very Distortion-like, I really like them. The Floyds are a little variable, but I'm not a whammy artist. Dinky is better than the V for that. I agree the neck connect on the V could be smoother/slicker, but, it is very accessible. How much time does one spend on the 24th fret anyway really? All in all for guitars I paid like $250 for, nothing but love. The necks themselves are fantastic.

Aesthetically, yeah, a couple of things.

I love what you did with them. They look really cool. I especially like the biohazard dinky haha.
I hear what you’re saying about the 24th fret. It’s not used that often, but when it is, it’s nice to be able to get to it relatively seamlessly
