Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) has announced the 'Pro Series Signature Wes Borland King V™ KV' from the Jackson® brand, marking the first collaboration with Wes Borland, guitarist of the American nu-metal band Limp Bizkit. This signature model was developed based on Wes's rigorous specifications, reflecting his approach to pushing the boundaries of tone and performance. Wes stated, 'As a guitarist, it took me a while to understand what I needed. I just needed volume, pickups, a locking tremolo, and 24 frets. On stage, it’s important that it doesn't break.' The guitar features Seymour Duncan Invader SH8 pickups for aggressive voicing, a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge for tuning stability, and a neck-through-body construction with graphite reinforcement rods. The reverse headstock logo, a signature detail, originated from Wes's custom modification of a left-handed King V. The product is priced at 220,000 JPY (tax included) and will be available at authorized Jackson dealers starting May 28, 2026.
