Overview

The Jackson King V Moulded Case is engineered to provide professional-grade protection for one of the most distinctively shaped guitars in the Jackson catalogue. Due to the elongated points and symmetrical V-shape of the King V, standard rectangular cases often provide insufficient support. This case addresses those requirements with a form-fitting design that secures the instrument during transit and storage.

Key Features and Construction

The case is built around a durable external hardshell designed to withstand the rigours of the road. A primary feature is the inclusion of three TSA-approved latches; these allow security personnel to inspect the contents without damaging the locking mechanism, making it a suitable choice for air travel. The exterior is finished in black, maintaining a professional and understated aesthetic.

Internally, the case uses a soft black plush lining. This material is selected to protect the guitar's finish from scratches while providing impact absorption. The internal layout includes multiple dedicated storage compartments, allowing players to store accessories such as leads, capos, and picks alongside the instrument.

Compatibility and Versatility

Jackson has designed this specific model to be highly versatile across the King V range. Unlike many form-fit cases that are restricted to a single orientation, this model accommodates:

Standard 6-string King V models.
Extended range 7-string King V models.
Right-handed (RH) configurations.
Left-handed (LH) configurations.

This universal internal moulding ensures that left-handed players have access to the same level of protection as right-handed players without needing a bespoke custom order.

Protection and Transport

The primary function of the case is to safeguard the instrument against mechanical shocks and environmental factors. The hardshell exterior acts as the first line of defence against punctures and pressure, while the plush interior ensures the guitar does not shift during movement. The integrated handle is designed for durability, facilitating easier transport of the often bulky V-shaped instrument.
