Trivium's guitarist teams up with Jackson for the KV6Q and KV7Q, featuring his signature Seymour Duncan Damocles Blackout pickups and a stunning transparent quilt maple top.
Jackson has released two new iterations of Corey Beaulieu’s signature series guitars: the Pro Series Signature Corey Beaulieu King V KV6Q and KV7Q. The Trivium guitarist worked with Jackson to modify the King V to his exact specifications, creating guitars that are built for the brutal demands of modern metal.

“I’m so happy to announce the release of my new signature series guitar,” says Beaulieu. “Not only does it look fantastic, the thing I’m most excited about is it comes fully armed with my Signature Seymour Duncan Damocles blackout pickups. It’s a true honour to be a part of the Jackson family and to continue our long partnership with this amazing new model.”
Both models feature Beaulieu’s signature Seymour Duncan Damocles Blackout pickups, designed specifically for his detuned progressive metal style. The pickups deliver the full-bodied, high-gain tone that defines his crushing sound, controlled through a three-way toggle switch paired with a single volume control.
The resonant mahogany King V body features serrated points and a rippling quilt maple top finished in transparent black. Through-body maple neck construction provides monstrous sustain and ergonomic comfort during long sets, while graphite-reinforcement rods ensure stability even under extreme climate conditions. A smooth oiled neck finish delivers that broken-in feel straight from the case.
A 12″-16″ compound radius ebony fingerboard hosts 24 jumbo frets with old-school sharkfin inlays, built to handle Beaulieu’s aggressive playing style. Each guitar is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system (6-string on the KV6Q, 7-string on the KV7Q) that maintains perfect tuning stability through the deepest dive bombs.
Available in both 6-string (KV6Q) and 7-string (KV7Q) configurations, these signatures give players the tools to tackle brutal riffs, technical passages and everything in between.
