Wes Borland, the iconic guitarist and co-founder of '90s nu-metal group Limp Bizkit, has secured an epic guitar collaboration with Jackson Guitars amid the band's 2026 tour. The exciting news was shared Wednesday afternoon via Instagram, thrilling longtime fans and guitarists alike.
The design of Borland's signature model was directly inspired by his iconic custom King V, which he famously altered from a left-handed to a right-handed guitar. The new model features a Seymour Duncan Invader SH8 bridge humbucker, described as a "high-output ceramic powerhouse that crushes with massive low-end chunk while maintaining razor-sharp clarity"—a sonic intensity engineered to mirror Borland's signature sound.

Borland has previously shared his praise for the company, stating that he appreciates their historical ability to push boundaries with their craftsmanship. "Jackson is fun," Borland noted. "The over-the-top, shred-a-copter shapes and my outrageous stage costumes pushing the boundaries, this fits in more with that. The way people dress, it affects how you behave, and I think it also changes how I play guitar."
Jackson Guitars' Product Development Manager, Peter Wichers, recently expressed his excitement regarding the landmark collaboration, uplifting Borland as a uniquely influential figure in the nu-metal genre while reflecting on the process of designing the instrument.
"Wes Borland is unlike anyone else in nu-metal—nobody looks or sounds like him," said Wichers. "When our artist rep Mike Tempesta introduced Wes to some Jackson Custom Shop guitars, he picked a left-handed King V and modded it for his right-hand playing, which left the headstock logo upside down. He loved it, so we kept it. That happy accident became one of the most iconic details of the whole build. Being involved in the development of his Signature King V has been an incredibly cool project, and I think that shows in every inch of this guitar."
The new Pro Series Signature Wes Borland King V KV is now available for purchase on Jackson Guitars' official website.
