High Output humbucker and Floyd Rose Special
At the heart of the KEX’s sound are two Jackson high-output humbuckers, precisely voiced for hard rock and metal. These pickups deliver a tight, defined tone with enough punch to drive any amp into thick, dynamic distortion. For expressive dive-bombs and pitch effects, the Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo ensures rock-solid tuning stability even under the most intense use.
