Jackson USA Corey Beaulieu KV6 TBB review
The Jackson USA Corey Beaulieu KV6 TBB is a V-style signature guitar associated with Corey Beaulieu of Trivium. Listed as part of Jackson's USA Series, it pairs an alder body with a flamed maple top, a maple neck-through-body construction, an ebony fingerboard, active humbucking pickups, and a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo. Its listed price is 3699, and it has been available since May 2025.
This assessment is based solely on the supplied specifications. No customer reviews are available, so there is no user feedback to report on playability, reliability, or sound. The details below describe the instrument's stated design and components rather than making claims about how it performs in practice.
Body, neck, and fingerboard
The body is made from alder and topped with flamed maple. Jackson lists the finish as Transparent Black Burst, a description that identifies the color and finish style but does not establish how much of the top's figure is visible on an individual guitar.
The maple neck runs through the body, rather than attaching as a conventional bolt-on neck. The supplied data does not specify the neck profile, neck thickness, finish, or construction details beyond the neck-through-body design. Buyers comparing neck shapes or setup dimensions will need information beyond this specification sheet.
The ebony fingerboard carries pearloid sharkfin inlays and has 24 jumbo frets. The scale length is 648 mm, and the nut width is 42.85 mm. Those measurements provide useful reference points for comparing the KV6 TBB with other guitars, but they do not by themselves determine whether its neck will suit a particular player. The listing does not state the fingerboard radius, fret material, or factory string gauge.
Pickups and electronics
The pickup configuration is HH, meaning two humbuckers. More specifically, the guitar is fitted with a pair of Seymour Duncan AHB-1 active humbuckers. The active design is part of the stated specification, but the available information does not name the battery type, control layout, switching options, or output jack arrangement. It also does not describe the pickups' measured output or tonal response.
That omission matters for anyone choosing a guitar around particular wiring options. The data confirms two active pickups, but it does not confirm a coil-split function, a three-way or five-way selector, or any additional switching. Those features should not be assumed from the pickup model or the instrument's signature status.
Tremolo and hardware
A Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo is specified. A double-locking system locks the strings at the bridge and nut, a design intended to keep the strings secured during tremolo use. The product information does not identify the exact Floyd Rose model, include setup instructions, or state what tools or spare parts come in the case. Details such as fine-tuner range and bridge finish are also not listed.
The shape and hardware point to a guitar built around the V-style format, but the supplied specifications do not give its weight, balance, or overall dimensions. These are practical considerations for players who plan to sit with the instrument or travel with it, and cannot be evaluated from the listed features alone.
What the specifications establish
The KV6 TBB has a clearly defined combination of materials and components: an alder body, flamed maple top, maple neck-through-body construction, ebony fingerboard, 24 jumbo frets, active Seymour Duncan AHB-1 humbuckers, and a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo. It is a Corey Beaulieu signature model in Jackson's USA Series, finished in Transparent Black Burst.
A case is included; a separate gig bag is not. The item number is 581334, and the sales unit is one piece. These points are useful when checking a listing or confirming what the purchase includes. The specifications do not identify case dimensions or accessories beyond the included case.
Verdict
The Jackson USA Corey Beaulieu KV6 TBB is specified as a USA Series V-style signature guitar with active dual humbuckers and a double-locking tremolo. Its construction and measurements are documented well enough to compare against other instruments, though the listing leaves several buying questions unanswered, including weight, neck profile, control layout, and the exact tremolo model. With no customer reviews available, conclusions about comfort, sound, setup quality, or long-term reliability would go beyond the evidence provided. Buyers should confirm those details with the seller before ordering, particularly if a specific neck shape or electronics configuration is essential.
Shipping and duties
The retailer ships from its warehouse in Germany. Prices are shown in US dollars and do not include import duties. Orders under roughly $800 usually clear US customs without duty; above that, a duty of a few percent may be collected on delivery. 30-day money-back and a 3-year warranty apply.
