About Scott Ian
Scott Ian, from Queens, New York , was still a teenager in 1981 when he formed Anthrax along with his friends Neil Turbin and former Overkill guitarist Dan Spitz. The group literally began following the heads of independent metal label Megaforce Records, Johnny and Marsha Zazula, around town. Eventually, the couple signed the band and began promoting their career. With album number 3, Anthrax landed on Island Records and gained a cult following.
Big Anthrax sound for a small price
When you pick up the X Series Scott Ian King V™ KVXT, you can feel some of the supreme thrash power of its namesake. A maple neck with graphite reinforcement and 24.75" scale runs through the mahogany body. The 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard is available in either laurel or rosewood, each with 22 jumbo frets and shimmering pearloid block inlays. The sound is as powerful as it is versatile with the two Jackson® high-output humbuckers. The strings run over a compensated adjustable Jackson bridge in TOM style with fixed tailpiece, Jackson die-cast tuners and a pointed Jackson headstock with 6-fret action. The KVXT is available in gloss black with a three-ply black pickguard. Shiny gold hardware, gold speed knobs on the volume and tone controls and a black 3-way toggle give this guitar a luxurious touch.

About Jackson
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.
