The 12"-16" compound radius bound laurel fretboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays has a rounded profile at the nut for natural chording and riffing and gradually flattens towards the heel for optimal articulation when shredding and to enable wide bends. The KEX is equipped with a pair of high- output power Jackson humbucking pickup , giving this metal beast a massive voice with a crisp, full tone - perfect for bold lead work or assertive rhythm passages. With the three-way switches for the pickup, the volume and tone controls and the Floyd Rose Special Double Locking tremolo bridge , you have your sound firmly under grip.

Jackson Guitars was created when Grover Jackson took over the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with the then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape, which is still available today, and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was just right because heavy metal was experiencing a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (started by Eddie Van Halen) was so-called super or power strats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST form , but are equipped with more modern and stylistically more suitable components such as humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forger of premium, American-built, high-end custom instruments that could be seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the time. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East in order to be able to offer their instruments in cheaper areas. Since 2002, both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
