• Iconic King V look and ergonomics designed for rock/metal playing, with all-black hardware.


• Two Jackson High-Output humbuckers with ceramic magnets: sharp attack, high output level, and easy saturation.

An Accessible King V with the Jackson Spirit

The JS32 belongs to Jackson's JS series, designed to offer the brand's aesthetic and "performance" DNA at an affordable price. With its King V silhouette and modern playing-oriented features (24 frets, high-output humbuckers, Floyd Rose), it clearly targets guitarists who want an electric guitar built for tight riffs and expressive solos, without compromising on fundamentals.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

The Jackson King V JS32 is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists (and motivated beginners) seeking quick playability and full access to the upper frets thanks to its 24 frets. It excels in metal, hard rock, punk, and all music requiring precise palm-mutes, harmonics, and fast leads. The Floyd Rose requires some practice (setup and string changes), but it opens the door to extreme vibratos and "dive bomb" style effects.

The Sound

The poplar body provides a balanced foundation, with present mids and a smooth response, ideal for heavy distortion. The maple neck enhances attack and definition, while the pau ferro fingerboard contributes to a smooth playing feel and clear articulation on fast runs. The two Jackson High-Output humbuckers (ceramic magnets) deliver a powerful sound, tight in the lows and aggressive in the upper mids, perfect for cutting rhythms and solos that cut through the mix. The 3-way selector switch allows switching from a sharp bridge pickup to a warmer neck pickup, with a useful middle position for more balanced tones.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay true to the original spirit, you can opt for nickel-plated steel electric strings in gauge .009-.042. For transport, a gig bag is available as an option (reference 299-1511-106).
