Product Description
The Dean Kerry King VX X Series in Black Satin brings the legendary Slayer guitarist’s aggressive V-shape and stage presence into an accessible, no-nonsense metal machine. With its Eastern mahogany body, fast bolt-on maple neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, this is a purpose-built riff weapon designed to deliver cutting tone, tight attack and effortless playability for modern metal players.
Loaded with high-output DMT passive humbuckers, a rock-solid Tune-O-Matic bridge with V-plate and all-black hardware, the Kerry King VX is ready for everything from palm-muted chugs to searing leads. The flat-topped, bevelled body and satin black finish complete the sinister aesthetic, making this guitar look as brutal as it sounds.
Kerry King Approved Metal Machine
Built to Kerry King’s own specifications, the VX X Series captures the essence of his signature look and feel in a streamlined package. The iconic V outline, bevelled edges and Black Satin finish give you an instrument that looks right at home on the heaviest stages, while the practical spec makes it equally at ease in the rehearsal room or studio.
Powerful Eastern Mahogany Construction
The Eastern mahogany body and top provide a thick, punchy tonal foundation with plenty of low-end weight and midrange growl. This classic tonewood choice helps riffs sound bigger and more authoritative, while still offering enough clarity to keep complex chords and fast passages defined under high gain.
Fast Maple Neck with 24-Fret Rosewood Fingerboard
A bolt-on maple neck with Kerry King Spec C-shaped profile offers a comfortable, familiar feel that suits both rhythm and lead work. Paired with a 12 inch radius rosewood fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets, it gives you a smooth, fast playing surface for wide bends, rapid runs and precise intonation all the way up to the highest register.
DMT Passive Pickups and Simple Controls
The dual DMT passive humbuckers are voiced for high-output aggression, delivering tight lows, snarling mids and enough bite to cut through dense mixes. A straightforward control layout with volume, tone and a three-way toggle switch keeps everything intuitive, letting you focus on your playing while still offering a range of usable tones from neck warmth to bridge brutality.
Features
- Eastern Mahogany Body and Top - The Eastern mahogany construction provides a rich, full-bodied tone with strong low end and punchy mids, ideal for heavy riffing and thick, sustaining leads under high gain.
- Kerry King Spec C-Shaped Maple Neck - The comfortable C-shaped maple neck is built to Kerry’s own spec, offering a fast yet supportive feel that suits aggressive rhythm work and intricate lead playing alike.
- 24-Fret Rosewood Fingerboard with Jumbo Frets - A 12 inch radius rosewood fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets give you a smooth, modern playing surface with easy string bending, accurate intonation and full access to two octaves on every string.
- DMT Passive Humbuckers with Simple Controls - High-output DMT passive pickups, controlled by a single volume, tone and three-way toggle, deliver powerful, articulate tones while keeping the layout clean and gig-ready.
