Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Have you ever tried an instrument and instantly felt like "That's it!"? Jackson's KV1 is one of those. Superb in almost every way, KV1 will surely make you a happy owner giving you the best value for money.

Feature-wise this guitar is perfect! There is no need to add or remove anything, and that is quite an achievement by Jackson, considering that it's quite hard to please every musician's desire, in order to grade an instrument such as KV1 with such a high score when it comes to guitar features. That means that Jackson has constructed more or less a guitar with perfect features, so if you decide to buy KV1 you will be more than happy with it.

Top quality guitars are easy to recognize, and KV1 is surely one of those, and you can tell that by the first glance at it. The finish is great, and it's not surprising, taken into the account that Jackson is an experienced guitar manufacturer with long tradition in building great guitars. KV1 is set up for playing right out of the box, but if you wish to adjust it, it's not a problem at all. Whatever changes you want to make, it will keep its redefined shape because the hardware is solid, and yet easily adjustable.

KV1 is one of the most reliable guitar models out there, and there is a good reason why that is so. Jackson is known for making durable, reliable musical instruments that will last you a lifetime if you take care of your guitar, as you should. KV1 is definitely a guitar you can be sure that will last.
