The WR1A Warrior and KV1A King V: The Ultimate Shred Machines

Jackson's new WR1A Warrior and KV1A King V are built for pure, unadulterated speed. Both guitars feature a single Fishman Fluence Modern bridge humbucker, delivering everything from pristine cleans to razor-sharp crunch and molten distortion without any unwanted noise. Paired with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, players can perform extreme dive bombs and squeals with unwavering tuning stability.

The foundation of both models is a snappy, balanced poplar body and a graphite-reinforced, three-piece thru-maple neck. This construction provides rock-solid stability and sustain that rings for days. The 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard is a key feature, making rhythm work comfortable while providing a flat surface for effortless bends and high-speed runs.

The WR1A Warrior is designed for a fast, aggressive attack, while the KV1A King V combines this performance with one of heavy music's most iconic shapes. Both guitars are available now with an MSRP of $1469.99/£1449.

The CB1A Concert Bass: The Heavy Artillery

For bassists looking to dominate the low end, the CB1A Concert Bass is a formidable weapon. Its poplar body is accented with creme binding for a sharp visual edge, and a graphite-reinforced, three-piece thru-maple neck provides the unshakable stability needed for hard-hitting bass lines. Like its guitar counterparts, the CB1A features a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, offering the versatility to handle intricate fingerstyle playing as well as powerful low-end grooves.

The CB1A is powered by a Fishman Fluence Modern bass humbucker, a true sonic powerhouse. It offers a push-pull volume for single-coil splitting, a 2-band stacked EQ, and a 3-way mini toggle for multiple Fishman voices. This setup gives bassists a massive range of tonal options, from jaw-dropping growl to articulate attack and chest-rattling lows. The Jackson Hi-Mass hardtail bridge ensures extra sustain and tight, controlled notes, while the 34" scale length provides the perfect balance of string tension for any playing style. The CB1A Concert Bass is available now with an MSRP of $1579/£1399.
