Jackson Unleashes the Pro Plus Pure Metal Phase II Series
Warrior, King V, and Concert Bass
4,5 / 5,0 | 
Jackson Guitars has expanded the Pro Plus Pure Metal series. We saw the first wave earlier this year, and now a Warrior, a King V, and a Concert Bass model have been added to the lineup.
Pro Plus Pure Metal
Following the success of the first Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal models, this second phase maintains a similar ethos. It’s a very Metal formula, and so there are some common themes across these three models.
So let’s take a look at some of these similarities across the Warrior, a King V, and a Concert Bass models.
Fishman
Each of the new guitars is equipped with a single Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker in the bridge position, delivering a versatile range of tones that belies its single-pickup configuration.
A push/pull volume knob on the guitars and a three-way mini-toggle switch on the bass allow players to access Fishman’s alternate voicings, expanding the tonal possibilities from crushing high-gain to crisp cleans.
Stripped Back
All three instruments feature solid poplar bodies with neck-through builds and three-piece mahogany necks, expertly carved for a fast, comfortable playing experience.
Players will find 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, Luminlay side dots for visibility on dark stages, and a 12-to-16-inch compound radius ebony fretboard, perfect for effortless shredding and technical playing.
The fretboards are adorned with classic sharkfin inlays, adding to the guitars’ aggressive aesthetic.
Warrior and King V
These iconic body shapes boast aggressive angles and the signature six-in-line headstock. They come equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking vibrato for extreme pitch manipulation (dive bombs, baby!) and rock-solid tuning stability.
Concert Bass
While the most traditional shape of the three, the Concert Bass delivers a powerful, punchy tone reminiscent of classic thrash metal.
A four-saddle HiMass bridge ensures maximum sustain. The electronics are particularly versatile, featuring a coil-split on the volume knob and a two-band EQ on a stacked concentric knob, giving bassists extensive tonal control.
None More Black
You guessed it, the only colour option is a striking Gloss Black finish with a single-ply cream binding and a matching cream Jackson logo, providing a subtle contrast that prevents the design from being too stark.
Chrome hardware and locking strap buttons complete the look, completing the ‘Metal aesthetic’ of these riff machines!
